Sami Zayn allegedly breaks a record and makes history despite WWE Elimination Chamber defeat against Roman Reigns
Despite failing to capture the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at Elimination Chamber, Sami Zayn allegedly made history on the go-home show of SmackDown the day before.
After feuding for a few weeks, the former Honorary Uce and Roman Reigns went head-to-head in an Undisputed WWE Universal Championship match at the Elimination Chamber Premium Live Event in Zayn's hometown of Montreal. Despite Zayn's impressive performance, The Tribal Chief retained his title after interference from The Bloodline.
On SmackDown, the Canadian Superstar walked out to the ring towards the end of the show and received an ovation from his hometown crowd that lasted several minutes. While speaking about The Bloodline storyline at the Elimination Chamber press conference, Zayn revealed that he had allegedly made history by receiving the longest ovation in the history of the Bell Centre.
"I think we've walked away from this story, and it's not even done, with so many memorable segments, TV segments, that people will remember 5-10 years down the road. And I think, I hope, that Montreal ovation is one of those because it's not everyday you see a performer just stand in the ring for, I think somebody timed it, it was like five minutes and 22 seconds or something, and it was actually, there's a Quebec historian in here somewhere called Pat Laprade, and he actually, he's a Quebec guy. In the history of the Bell Centre, it's the longest ovation in the history of this building," he said. [0:24 - 0:59]
