This storyline is freaking INSANE!!! Mad props to Triple H, the writers, and the wrestlers. Just awesome!!!! 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾
This is a really great storyline compared to the last 10 years. But I see ppl saying how it’s some of the loudest pops ever and greatest storyline of all time to the point where they are actually crying? Shedding tears over this. It just goes to show how bad the storylines have been the past 10 -15 years. Don’t get me wrong it is a great story as I said. But I think it feels more so than it actually is because the WWE has been lacking for so long. Don’t get me started on the pops. I get that their good in todays era where everyone stares at their phone mostly, they just aren’t on the radar for loudest pops of all time. I wonder if WWE will be able to capitalize and make Sami a super star or face of the company even? Time will tell
IKR. I mean, WWE may still be PG but it's not PG under Vince back then. It's PG under HHH and it reminds me of when The Cerebral Assassin called the shots on NXT. Kudos to The Game for making it happen.
So is he going to challenge Reigns for the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship because I’m confused now
That was the most wicked spear I've seen in a while. U can feel all the angst and anger behind it 💯💯
Angst and anger? Dude it’s acting 🎭
@OliverHart701 bruh, he know what potential is in the Sami that is why he was for so long in the bloodline.
@OliverHart701 that wasn't acting...that was sheer balls😡
😮 traitor
@Pratik Mahadik he doesn't know Sami Zayne is an actor
Sami Zayn has hit every gimmick they’ve given him out of the park. This is no exception. Incredible work.
Seth did it better
Does he draw?
10/10 performer
The actual goat in SmackDown imo
Sami Zayn reminds me a lot of Daniel Bryan. Too small in Vinces eyes to be seen as the face of WWE, but the fans love him more than anyone and everyone on the whole roster.
vince didn't mind booking daniel bryan though
@Alejandro Paredesyes they did want him
@Dark Raider neither is daniel brian tbf, they are just small compared to all the other huge wrestlers, in real life they very much slightly above average in terms of height and and above average in muscle mass
Sami Zayn is no small in real life. Met him personally
@Pankaj Mishra Sami Zayn is gazillion times more charismatic and entertaining than Big E. So, no.
It is awesome to see Sami's talent shine through this past year. The storyline has been great. It is like reading a suspenseful book.
This segment had me tear up for Sami. You can hear the pain coming out from his screams after all the months he had with the Bloodline. Beautiful.
That spear from Sami was insane!😮
I can't stop rewinding it to that moment and when he screams Roman!!!!!!!!
@OnlyKyless rains is talentless
Much better than Romans. But. Then. Roman spear is really bad
@KingKem _ Underdog yes, but new Daniel Bryan? You're dreaming bro. His a mid carder at best not a main eventer.
@JACQUEZ JOHNSON Ikr
One of the best storylines in recent times 🔥🔥🔥
About time 😎👏
It's been a long time since I've seen the crowd cheer like this. Sami's time is now, time to make history and make Sami the giant star he always deserved to be
Great storyline but I think ppl will get bored of Sami rather fast unfortunately. WWE struggles to book smaller guys as the face.
@X-Sen Execution he was thought to be back then, but we all damn know where that went. He is good being the supporting character for everyone and make them look good like how he can setup jay uso to be a main eventer again with how jay uso reacted bringing back the old roman and jey feuds. Sami is good in a lot of things like running a good feud, but definitely not a title holder for a long time or he would need a character revamp if that happens
@X-Sen Execution YES! Sammy Zane has the plot twists, the enthusiasm, the lore. He will become WWE World Heavyweight Champion!!
Hebrews
12:14 Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.
Acts
3:19 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord,
James 2:24,26
Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
John
3:16 'For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
3:17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
3:19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.
Cody is the right guy at the wrong time
Man drew literal tears out of a 35 year old dad from England. This is untold levels of brilliance and execution. May be the best I've ever seen as a wrestling fan. Would love to know if there's a better feud out there...
@Kare Taker I was going to say that’s most likely a kid lol.
@Kare Taker no i am a kid only.. man.. 😆
Men don’t cry watching WWE 😂
For a long time, the WWE Universe could not decide to cheer or boo Roman. But it took Sami to draw that line. Awesome
@Desmond Tan fax Roman Reigns heel character is best thing i hope he keeps one of the titles perhaps the Universal title
@Desmond Tan after almost three years and they finally found a real Babyface for him to feud with lol
@rohitkejriwal1 yeah, i know how heel character has been his best work yet in these few years, but he just could not generate enough heel heat. Even in his rivalry with Drew, the universe was cheering both competitors. Just saying that it took Sami to truly create that heat
- Roman has been killing it with his heel work. The heat he is generating is on another level. His best work so far. Your comment is a few years too late.
Honestly I miss Sami being in the bloodline. It's so heartbreaking seeing them break apart 💔
section Completely agree on the timing and rushing this. Would have that he’d have peaked as a full blown Uce and was already turning the whole bloodline babyface. Maybe that would’ve been the plan if the Rock could’ve hit Wrestlemania. Hopefully they at least let Sami be a transitional champ and pull some dumb rematch clause and Roman naturally gets it back on Smackdown next week or something by bringing in more Anoa’i.
Montreal needs signs like RVD vs Cena that says “If Roman wins, we riot”. Lol
Yes agreed. Moments like the popcorn scenes will rival some of the Kurt Angle and Stone Cold comedy.
@O.M.H_Music 100%
They had to split them up at their peak, otherwise they run the risk of the entire gimmick becoming stale. It was a perfectly timed ending but I will miss Sami trying to make the bloodline members laugh and break character lol
@Sumit agreed. It had to end some time. Sami Uso didn't age at all.
The emotion is Sami when he shouts "ROMAAN!" into the mic. Goosebumps
@Ssuzies Ssuzies 🤣🤣
@Krishna Bheemul what are you referring to?
My son's name is Roman. And I call out his name the same way 🤣
This is gonna be career ending!!!
@🇮🇪shane to each their own.
Imagine being one of the wrestlers in the back while one of these segments is playing out and hearing the roar of the crowd through the walls of the building, insane.
@drunkcherries not envy... ADMIRE!
Tbh I guess everyone in the locker room must envy sami & roman with just alone the reaction they generate
Sami is fire, Give him the title at WM. he's deserve it more than anyone right now.
The crowd reaction was thunderous Sami needs to headline at the Mania by hook or by crook
@Charlie Slobig unless the 1v1 is against Cody or Sami, in my opinion. Forget how "Strong" Roman is and think of how "Strong" of a Story Arc it could be.
A triple threat match would be awesome with Sami sneaking out the win meanwhile…making a cody Sami rivalry (triple threat match would be the best way for Roman to lose his belt…it’s not believable for it to happen 1v1 between anyone).
That spear from Sami though !!!!!!! I actually like this side of Sami!!! The aggressiveness of him I’m actually behind Sami at this point!!!!
I get NXT vibes from this Sami Zayn!!!
What a great feud they are building in WWE with Sami and Roman, how much intensity within this segment, the more the story progresses, the more it catches you, a great way to close the show!
Sami Zayn has come a long way from joining the Bloodline to feuding with the Bloodline, absolute Cinema and perfect long term storytelling.
@Sam Sepiol Thank you
@Zoltan Wilson who knows
@WWEAEWMarvelFan Did he delete his comments? I can't see them. 🤔
@FINN VALOR lmao, nope
This is the best version of Sami I’ve ever seen.
Sami gave me Edge vibes the way he delivered that spear
Sami gotta get an Emmy his timing and storytelling and passion is insane this storyline is WWE perfection
Looks like Roman taught Sami well about delivering a spear. Looked just like Roman's! Now this is gonna be a great feud!!! LOVE IT!😄😁😃😀
Other aspect of this is how intense Roman has become as a heel. He really is playing this character to the max! And Sami... OMG is he a genius with his character or what??? WOW!!!
Roman has become so good... He looks and talks the part🔥🔥
Wow. This is actually the most serious Sami Zayn I've ever seen. I know WWE wants Cody Rhodes to win at Wrestlemania, but Sami really deserves this.
Bruh need rest mos def n his regin definitely has to come to an end at some point so give sam the wwe chip n give cody the universal chip.....I mean y not!!
Check out nxt sami
@Francis Flores This is more decent than anything else I've read
@DTA he will lol
Preparing Sami for undisputed universal title match is insane. What a storyline.
Why do I keep watching this over and over and over again since yesterday, Sami is damn amazing
Same. This is gold 🔥
Congratulation🎉, Thank you for watching,
message us above 👆 to claim gifts ✅
Hands down in the recent time it's the best storyline i have seen ❤️🔥
Congratulation🎉, Thank you for watching,

If they don’t give Sami a title reign after this they’re insane.
Sami Zayn ❤️
the crowd pop for Sami was insane , I been loving this so far imagine if he came back to worlds apart at Elimination Chamber
Really hope he brings The Worlds Apart Theme Song back!
No....let them fight at mania
@DJ FRESH 26 years after Bret Hart vs Shawn Michaels for the WWE Champion at 1997 Survivor Series
@Terence CaronanI just commented that lol. Bring back nxt Sammi Zayn. Man should’ve been in the main event since his debut
and they should bring back his attire back and his haircut
I love whenever Roman gets challenged for the titles. He looks so worried and looks at his titles. Little things like that…damn so good.
I'm seeing the new Sami Zayn, I'm surprised. 💪💪👏👏
To see Sami drop that spear live was awesome 🔥
Imagine at Elimination chamber Samy Zayn comes with his old theme song, old gear and hairstyle what a pop it will be 🔥
0:44 Honestly, Roman has a point. Fans always “Want, want, want”.
Sami's rise and the bloodline story reminds me a lot of Daniel Bryans rise to the top. How he didn't "look the part" of the top guy but broke through by fan support and (almost accidentall or unplanned) storytelling it happened. It's great to see.
Except that Sami has 10x the charisma of Daniel
Its plan
Wow they finally push SZ and he finally become the face again after long time so yeah i'm back watching WWE again this is Amazing!
I think you missed an important part of the story. Sami before joining the bloodline was a heel and he WANTED to join the bloodline he was given a chance to by Roman but what did he do? He went back to his bestfriend. You really can't blame Roman for being pissed yes Sami was sort of "bullied" but he chose this path just to be part of the bloodline. I don't see any point in putting the titles on Sami even though he's so "over" the fans. These so called fans will turn on Sami after 2-3 weeks once he becomes champion due to being "stale" I tell you. Cody is probably the only one who can dethrone Roman right now.
No no no. Daniel Bryan was abused (in storyline) by the Authority, like in Summerslam 2013 (World Title was robbed from him) and the YES movement was very popular starting WM28. WWE had to make changes cause of this. Sami’s case imo is already planned to be like this today and what he really wants is that title to be removed from Reigns, not because he needed it, but an act of revenge. Daniel Bryan’s was just due to the fans want him to be champion and to be the face of that time.
Same momentum, but different goals. But be champion like Bryan was, hmm, out of place in terms of storyline
Never in this era would I have imagined Roman run from a hit from Sami Zayn 😭😂👍👍
Hnn Bhai jo banda pehle ( Brock Lesnar, underterkar , Goldberg , brunstromen ) jese players ke samne datkar khada rehta tha boh abhi ( saimos, Keven Owens, Sami zyan , Big E ) in logose bhagta firta hai ....😂😭👍🏻
Im proud of Sami... wasn't a sami fan but im proud of him
Sami deserve world title🔥
This MASTERPIECE is just UNMATCHED! 🙌
I had never seen Sami Zayn use a spear in my life, it looked spectacular on him
Hopefully Sami Zayn brings back the worlds apart theme song back at the Elimination Chamber. Can’t wait to hear the pop he is going to get in his hometown Montreal as it’s going to be epic to witness.
I prefer his current theme "This is it" because it sounds more more agressive, Sami looks more more agressive than before
Sami Zayn should become universal champion
@NBAfanboy if they was to break up the titles I could definitely see it happening.
@Dakota Weaver he isn't winning at all. Romans first L in like 2 years isn't coming at elimination chamber.
Hes gonna get screwed. That's if he's fighting for both belts. They are not gonna take both belts off roman before WrestleMania. We should all already know Sami isn't gonna win at elimination chamber (at least BOTH titles)
The ROMANNNN SCREAM FROM SAMI HAD SOOOO MUCH EMOTION!!!👍🏻👍🏻
Imagine the pop if Sami wins the WWE Universal title in his home town of Montreal. What perfect timing and long term storytelling.
Been a long time since wrestling gave me goosebumps watching, usually just background noise while doing chorse but I find my self every week tuning in to watch this storyline unfold.
Huge credit to these two. Kayfabe aside…Ever since reigns said there was no one to challenge for the title, since waaaay long ago…many of us believed the whole Sami joining the bloodline angle was for the sole purpose of grooming Sami to be the guy. Reigns himself invested so much, especially after Vince left. He’s been in tune with the crowd week by week and essentially made sure every segment Sami would be the star. Even til tonight when he could of focused on Cody, he played the promo to keep the attention on Sami and make the crowd believe it was their idea. Looking at past segments you can see the genuine smile Roman has when Sami goes over well with the crowd, especially through the character breaks. I’m guessing we’ll have a triple threat at mania, Cody vs Reigns vs Sami. And after Reigns investing so much, there’s no way anyone but Sami walks out champion. Cody won the rumble and he doesn’t have to eat the pin, and it will extend his story so he’ll be fine not winning, this is literally Sami’s shot and again, Reigns invested way too much to just let this fade into dust
It's good seeing Sami improved this much😊😊
Sami is like the true underdog that everyone just wants to become
@Sprucevirus2976 there are two titles to lose for Roman....😉
Cody vs roman vs sami u all will see ‼ copy from randy vs batista vs daniel
@Sprucevirus2976 u will see
@yonatan naphtali em it's Cody vs roman
@SuperMario0972 it's obvious that Cody is gonna be the one to beat roman lol after all he got a garrentee championship win in his contract from Vince
Roman really knows how to make an opponent look really good.
I'm mean he sold that spear so well.
Sami got my respect 🤩🔥🔥
When he repsected friendship 🔥🔥
Sami zayn is just 🔥🔥 right now . The spear was awesome !!
The cheers when he took that hoodie off…..goosebumps ❤
If this doesn’t end up with a triple threat at Wrestlemania, that’s money left on the table
To see how much torture Sami has been put through over the last year by the Bloodline and to see him finally get his shot is really something special

@DJ FRESH that might happen to bring HEEL heat to Roman
@A.J yeah, he asked to join the Bloodline Last April.
@BJAKOTIN Chill
Heyman scrambling for the chair 😂 The man is a genius.
See when you hear him scream roman it almost makes me break down because the pain in his voice…..It’s just a good storyline man.
Wwe y’all done got me crying at Every event😂.
Sami Zayn s spear was wicked 🔥
Sami with that spear. Epic.
Insanity sometimes can a person more focused. Get that gold Sami!
Sami Zayn has come a long way, a hardworking guy 👍
They both have tbh. Until this storyline Roman meant nothing to me no matter how much WWE tried to shove him down my throat.
@Nelson Tan I absolutely agree ✅ Him, Kevin Owens & John Cena are my most favourite wrestlers since 2016
Yeah. I mean he was defeated by Johnny Knoxville, but sure, very hardworking
Sami zayn deserves a moment like this. If Sami zayn wins the title the crowd would go crazy.
The story line is insane all thanks to Triple H
Sami has a beautiful spear. Roman’s looks absurdly visceral, downright agonising, but Sami’s got unreal form. The second point applies to everything Sami does in the ring lol
sami is massively underrated in how good this storyline has been!
When Sami comes in arena it almost feels like a festival
Sami Zayn single-handedly making me watch back WWE 😭 MAKE THIS MAN THE CHAMP
@Max i tryth noth to comment negative things
@Zafir Ali
Could possibly be a triple treat match at WM. Sami, reigns and cody
Sami Beat reigns at the Chamber Cody Vs Sami WM 39 and Cody Wins
@Jonathan Oscategui it's honestly a shame but Roman kinda should win at WM39. He's really needs that heel heat that he hasn't been getting because of how people like him as a heel
WWE might not even have Cody beat Roman reigns at WrestleMania because they wanted the Rock or Austin. Cody sadly became plan C!
Seriously Sami Zayn undisputed champion? Thank you WWE. He deserves it.
Finally after so many ages they are giving shots to Sami
Is about time Zayn gets a WWE Championship match
I like the way they made Sami look strong in this segment but not making Roman look weak at the same time.
Haven't enjoyed a WWE storyline like this one in years. Good work HHH and the writers involved in this.
Sami has the most interesting character development in the past couple years. I can't wait to see what's coming up for him.
@demonhacker THANK YOU, these weird fanboys want another *daniel bryan* moment so bad it's pathetic, sami is nothing but a comedy act and nothing to take serious, ill be glad when all this is over
Whats coming is losing to roman at elim chamber and him getting thrown to the wayside for cody.
He has to understand that his father will always love him and he will never fight him. I know rey mysterio wouldn't choose someone else over his son to his partner
Sami is the modern Mankind.... Not for hardcore status, obviously. I refer both are underdogs and both have problems, but want to be better as a person.
@Nathan Siegel what segment
I'll be open and honest
I wasn't sure what to think about Sami back in the day (as I had never seen him in NXT)
But I tell you what, this man is a Star in everything he is given to do
Thank you wwe this is what was missing for so long 😢
Goosebumps! Cmon Sami!! You deserve it mate!
i don't watch much wwe anymore but i do read about it from time to time. i was dismayed to see all the negativity toward Roman basically since about 2015...so i'm glad to see him drawing so much heel heat these days. GOod for him!!
Wow I love the story line Sami Zayn is giving us the drama ❤️❤️❤️
I haven't heard a crowd pop like that in a long time in WWE, Sami absolutely deserves it.
@Colin Gordon I like Sami, but he has a TERRIBLE look when it comes to being a champ.
That s SC for you. I've been to Raw last year, and man, the crowd there was hot
I rather have Sami as champ then Cody! Dude just has the IT factor always has. Sad he will lose to Roman at EC then go back to the mid card
@Sinister Jarl your not wrong
@Sinister Jarl yeah Romans so boring but you watch all his videos.. 😂
This storyline is so "INZAYN" 😃😃👏👏👏
Sami zayn attacking the tribal chief was shocking wondering what Roman was gonna say about Cody .
Sami is still the master of strategist! He came alone, he made Roman to make the title match with him and now we need that little help from Jey Uso with his feets to make a roll up pin 1 2 3 and destroy Roman legacy, this would be the perfect moment and perfect story for the Prince, the right hand Jey USO to make his attempt for the head of the table ! Book it!
Roman made that spear look so brutal! Both of these two together is gold!
Sammi reminds me of Mick Foley! Doesn’t have all the glitz and glammer but is a pure wrestler, that’s what wwe needs back badly
I was at the show tonight. I've been to 5-10 wrestling shows in my life over 25 years. Nothing felt bigger than this segment. I literally became a kid again tonight.
damn, I've only been to Raw In 2015, WWE Starrcade when it returned, Smackdown In Atlanta Last Year, and WWE Day 1 Last Year Too, it was supposed to be this year again for WWE Day 1 until they canceled it and made it a house show . The only one non WWE Was AEW but I'm not counting that.
That’s the power of pro wrestling, if something is great/epic in pro wrestling (facts back it up), like a segment or match, it’s gonna captivate anybody, kid or a grandad or anyone in the middle. I felt that too before.
Man, this is the first time since like 2016 that Sami's been a face? He didn't just turn on the bloodline and turned face. In the end he simply couldn't finish off his own brother, that being KO. I think the only real thing that would cement this face turn would be to see the two Canadians team up and maybe even become Tag Champs once again.
Seing this "Feeling" this moment in person was absolutely crazy epic
Roman is the main guy in WWE at the moment, and he deserves to be in that position
Sami is definitely headliner material wrestlemania main event material
Sami Zayn 🔥👑
The crowd reactions for Sami are incredible. No one has been this hot since Daniel Bryan in 2014.
Dude that's a joke. The crowd always being hot everytime they heard someone's theme song like Lesnar, Lashley or other legends or even seeing Epic moments and also the curse word everytime wrestlers got some heat with each other. The point is, they are easily to be impress even if you are swearing and they will get shock by the swear words because they knew that WWE is trying to be PG 😂
@Khaled Mohamed Abbas kofi was short storyline they did it just to make à spécial wm moment
Unlike DB and sami where their storyline they were the ultimate underdog fan favourite for almost à year
Well yes but no. There was kofimania in between these two
@Thomas Anderson bryan carried wwe in 2013
Why did I say this same thing then my kid goes sammy can't beat Roman. I went right to the D.b storyline like did we think he could beat triple h then randy & Batista the same night. YES!)
Sami can be the next big star. It's right in front of the WWE faces. You have the perfect storyline. Sami deserves this. But as usual, the WWE is going to need this up.
Hell ya. This is awesome. Good for you Sami Zayn, you deserve that title.
That’s what Sammy zayn was all about ❤
This storyline is nothing but perfection.
No doubt one of the best storylines ever
I was at this show live in Greenville, and let me tell you that pop for Sami attacking Roman and then challenging Roman for the title was MASSIVE. Sami's going to eventually hit the stardom stratosphere.
@Dyren I doubt they'll do that, solely because of the backlash it would create. Hell, I guarantee that more MeToo stories about Vince would go public if he sold to the Saudis.
Not if they're selling so Saudi Arabia right :/
Rhodes is going to lose on night 1 get screwed by HHH. Jey Uso or the Rock will beat Roman on night 2 and Sami will help them.
@B Right Unfortunately you are right about that. Especially with Vince back
Sami is no world championship plans for wrestlemania season rhodes will win at mania then at the draft the titles get split
Sami is killing it right now!!
Bloodline is nothing without sami 🔥
give him title he deserve that title 🥰
