"He is like a ginger Castro" - WWE Hall of Famer admits he is a fan of the incredibly unique Sami Zayn
Sami Zayn turning on The Bloodline at the Royal Rumble will be replayed for years to come as WWE successfully elevated the fascinating storyline to the next level.

Roman Reigns' historic world title run would not have been half as entertaining without Sami Zayn's inclusion. The former Intercontinental Champion gradually grew into his role and has deserved all the praise for adding another layer to the Samoan domination in WWE.

Sami Zayn might not have the quintessential look of a top guy, but Kevin Nash revealed that he loved how unique the WWE star was when considering the entire landscape of wrestling.
There might not be a single performer as versatile as Sami Zayn, and that's what Big Daddy Cool liked the most about the former Honorary Uce. Nash even felt Sami looked like controversial Cuban revolutionary Fidel Castro.
Here's what Kevin Nash had to say on his Kliq This podcast about Zayn:
"He is just so different and unique that I dig him! I mean, he is just not, you know, he is like a ginger (Fidel) Castro."

The goosebump-inducing pop when Zayn smacked Roman Reigns in the back with a chair was easily the most rewatched moment of the night.
Jey Uso's exit from the ring also received a loud reaction as every other character involved in the storyline also played their part to perfection.
If it wasn't obvious, WWE executives were also quite pleased with how the whole segment played out. As reported by WrestleVotes, the company knew that Bloodline's post-match angle would be the standout moment of the night and rightfully placed it in the main event slot.
