He further mentioned WWE should've done something special for the fans in Canada and the best option would've been to crown Zayn the new champion:
"They could have had a fake one there [screwjob] because Shawn Michaels was there. They wasted the opportunity of erasing the bad taste of that screwjob, especially in Montreal and also putting over a Canadian that is over, like, I don't know since the time of Bret Hart. I think this is shameful that they did not take the opportunity of doing something for not just a product but for Canada," said Savinovich [8:35 – 9:35]

Hugo Savinovich feels WWE could've forced a Triple Threat Match featuring Sami Zayn
During the same conversation, Hugo Savinovich claimed that WWE could've booked a Triple Threat Match between Sami Zayn, Cody Rhodes, and Roman Reigns for WrestleMania 39.
He thinks that Montreal is the perfect place to do a second Montreal screwjob. However, WWE opted against it. Savinovich said:
"With me, I fully understood that Vince was back in control. The show in Montreal That was a good way on doing a second big Montreal screwjob, that backfired, would've forced a Triple Threat and then Roman would've regained the title. For him to lose the streak at WrestleMania to Cody and I love Cody, Cody's like my son, I love him. But business wise, I think they missed the right time to do it,"
How come he don't want him, man? 😢
