"I’m not well" - Sami Zayn shares an update after WrestleMania 38 loss
WWE Superstar Sami Zayn recently shared a tweet saying that his WrestleMania 38 opponent Johnny Knoxville has ruined his reputation and that he was not well.
The feud between the two men commenced in January this year when Knoxville announced his entry into the men's Royal Rumble match. This was not well received by the Conspiracy Theorist, who stated that the former was out of line to consider a place in the Royal Rumble.
Their feud culminated at WrestleMania 38, where the Jackass Forever star won. The intensely entertaining match kept fans on the edge of their seats as Knoxville, and the Jackass team entertained the WWE Universe with their in-ring antics.
In his tweet, Sami Zayn claimed that Knoxville ruined the reputation he had been building over the last 20 years as one of the most versatile wrestlers.
"It’s been 10 days since Wrestlemania. I’m not well. 20 years building my name as the best, most versatile wrestler on earth. Johnny Knoxville ruined it in one night. I doubt he’ll be back in @WWE but he should sleep with 1 eye open for the rest of his days. SAMI NEVER FORGETS," tweeted Sami.
