40-year-old WWE star breaks character to heap praise on Sami Zayn's "electric" transformation
WWE Superstar LA Knight recently heaped praise on how far Sami Zayn has come with his promo skills.
LA Knight is currently one of the best talkers in WWE and one of the company's biggest heels. After parting ways with the Maximum Male Models, he has become a crowd favorite despite his heelish character. The 40-year-old star will be a part of the WrestleMania extravaganza as he enters the Andre the Giant Battle Royal this Friday on SmackDown.
Knight was in an exclusive interview with The Daily Show this week. While discussing promo skills, he explained how Sami Zayn has evolved to become one of the best talkers in the business.
He pointed out that early on in his career, the former Honorary Uce avoided cutting promos, but now he can connect with the fans instantly when he is on the mic.
"I'm gonna use Sami Zayn as a great example. He avoided it, wasn't a very good talker. Actually, didn't want to talk. Now he's like one of the best in the business. You put him in front of a microphone, in front of a camera and it's electric. The people love him." [21:19 - 21:31]
