Undisputed WWE Champion Sami Zayn often feels misunderstood and underappreciated. Anyone who will listen will say he doesn’t get the credit or respect he deserves. His current title is that he’s “The Last Real Good Guy,” and he genuinely believes it.
during an interview with WWE:Zane says his self-awareness is a gift and a curse. He is said to be highly intellectual, highly emotionally sensitive, and also has a strong sense of morality. Having a combination of those three things is a “disaster”.
“Sometimes it’s really hard to get through the day when you’re a little too smart for your own good and you feel a little too strong and too aware of your surroundings,” Zayn says.
Zayn is “almost envious” of people who don’t have to deal with these things and can be blissfully unaware, but he believes that’s what led to him being champion because the rest of the locker room doesn’t have to deal with these things.
“That’s one of the only explanations for how a guy who looks like me, acts like me, talks like me, who acts like me, who believes what he believes the way I do, ends up in this league because it doesn’t make sense. It makes no sense.
