WWE Superstar Sami Zayn spoke highly of Gunther
Sami Zayn was one of the biggest underdogs heading into WrestleMania XL, as he was set to face Gunther for the Intercontinental Championship.
However, Zayn overcame all odds to defeat The Ring General and captured his fourth Intercontinental Championship at The Grandest Stage of Them All in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Regardless of the win, Sami Zayn had nothing but respect for The Ring General and spoke highly of him after the win. In an interview with Arab News, The Underdog from the Underground appreciated the longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion in WWE history.
"I think just being in the ring with Gunther, who obviously has shown that he's one of our top superstars now, and, you know, probably the best Intercontinental Champion we've ever had... To beat him at the biggest show of the year, I mean, I think it's very, very memorable. And I think that's one of the hardest things to do right now," Sami Zayn said. [H/T Arab News]
