Sami Zayn shared his experience in being part of the storyline with the Bloodline
During the post-show press conference, the former Honorary Uce opened up about his contribution to the Bloodline storyline. He mentioned that he was honored to be given this opportunity.
Zayn mentioned that there are several legends in the business that never had the opportunity to be part of a story such as the one involving the Bloodline.
“There are hall of famers, world champions multiple times over, I’m talking some of the best ever that have never got to tell a story like this, over this course of time, with this level of depth, with this many talented individuals in front and in back of the camera, especially on the performance side of it. I feel so lucky to have been a part of it." [H/T Fightful]
The newly crowned WWE Undisputed Tag Team Champion also feels that this chapter may seem to have come to an end, but the story may not be over yet. He believes that they could continue the storyline in the future.
“This feels like the culmination of it, but it’s a long timeline with WWE, so even if you think you’ve put a nice bow on it, we can unravel that at any time and call back to it. That’s been the beauty of this story, the number of callbacks," Sami Zayn said. [H/T Fightful]
Tonight on Night two of WrestleMania 39, the leader of the Bloodline, Roman Reigns will put his Undisputed Universal Championship on the line. He will face this year's Men's Royal Rumble match winner, The American Nightmare Cody Rhodes in the main event.
