"He can't say cash it in on Brock Lesnar" – Former WWE manager praises SmackDown star for interview segment (Exclusive)

Brock Lesnar made his return to WWE last week

Wrestling veteran Dutch Mantell felt Sami Zayn did a great job during his interview segment when he name-dropped Brock Lesnar.

WWE correspondent Kayla Braxton caught up with Sami and Paul Heyman after the "Honorary Uce" won the Money in the Bank Qualifying match against Shinsuke Nakamura. Zayn stated that he would never cash in on Roman Reigns. However, he added that he could cash in on The Beast and walked off, as The Special Council stared at him in shock and disbelief.

Speaking on the latest episode of Smack Talk, the wrestling veteran praised Sami's mic skills. He detailed that the Master Strategist did most of the work during the segment while Paul Heyman was quiet and listened, which is very rare.

Here's what Mantell had to say:

"I kinda liked Zayn talking about that. He wants to win it to protect Brock. That was the only interview I've seen Heyman do and he didn't say that. His facials did everything. That makes sense what Zayn is saying. He can't say cash it in on Brock Lesnar because he didn't want to hear that. That's a pretty good interview if you watched it because Zayn did it all on his own and Paul was just looking." (From 30:04 - 30:44).

He walked down to the ring after Roman Reigns defeated Riddle in a match for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. The 44-year-old then proceeded to plant Reigns with an F5. The Usos also faced the wrath of Lesnar as they took successive F5s in the ring. Later, WWE announced that Brock and Roman will once again cross paths at SummerSlam in a Last Man Standing match.
