"He's the only member of The Bloodline that gets cheers." - Former WWE Writer praises top SmackDown star
Actor and former WWE creative team member Freddie Prinze Jr. has praised Sami Zayn for his recent work with The Bloodline.
Sami Zayn has done his best to align himself with The Bloodline on WWE programming over the past few months. He has spared no effort in bootlicking various members of the group, including their leader, Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns.
Zayn's efforts have led him to be declared "Honorary Uce" as he was officially welcomed to the faction. Sami represents the stable regularly on WWE programming, much to the ire of Jey Uso.
On a recent edition of his Wrestling With Freddie podcast, Freddie Prinze Jr. praised Sami Zayn. The former WWE writer spoke about Sami's comedic talent and referred to the reaction he receives from the WWE Universe.
Prinze Jr. also noted that the cheers that The Master Strategist gets are a genuine babyface reaction, and that the crowd doesn't want to dislike him. Freddie then noted that Zayn was the only Bloodline member to receive genuine cheers.
"The only member of The Bloodline that gets cheers, is Sami Zayn. No matter how hard the announce team tries to make him a heel." he said [From 14:30 to 14:37]
Prinze then criticized the efforts of WWE commentary to turn fans against Zayn on SmackDown, naming Michael Cole specifically.
