"I strongly disagree" - Former WWE writer feels top star will not get over with fans by losing to Roman Reigns (Exclusive)
Former WWE writer Vince Russo doesn't think Sami Zayn will get over with the fans even if he takes Roman Reigns to the limit at Elimination Chamber 2023.
Come Saturday night, Zayn will wrestle the biggest match of his two-decade career when he challenges Reigns for the Undisputed Universal Title. Though fans are rooting for the former Honorary Uce's win, realistically, he doesn't stand a chance. Even though he may not win, viewers can be assured of Sami Zayn putting in a valiant effort by putting up the fight of a lifetime.
Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Writing with Russo, Vince Russo was skeptical about Sami Zayn getting over with fans by losing. The former WWE writer argued that since nobody expects the 38-year-old to win, coming inches close to winning and then losing would also make little difference.
"If they think, Reigns beats the living hell out of him, and he can't put Sami away, he can't put Sami away, and they talk about 'oh, he's fighting this guy.' It's the second coming of Ali, bro! If they think that's gonna get Sami over, I strongly disagree. Even if you do that bro, the match is gonna end just like how everyone thought it would, bro. And then where do you go, bro?" said Vince Russo (19:12 - 19:45)
