For nearly ten years, Sami Zayn has been a prominent figure in WWE, consistently pushing himself to new heights and showcasing his ability to transform any given gimmick into a resounding success. Most recently, Zayn’s portrayal of The Bloodline has been a shining example of his versatility. It’s worth noting that this storyline is one of the most significant and compelling in all of WWE, with Vince McMahon having creative input on it.
The ongoing tension between Zayn and The Bloodline culminated in a shocking betrayal at the Royal Rumble event, resulting in a brutal and unforgettable beatdown of Roman Reigns. Dave Meltzer reported on Wrestling Observer Radio that McMahon is currently involved in the Reigns-Zayn storyline’s creative process.
“It’s Paul Levesque (Triple H) and Vince. Vince does have input into this one. He definitely does. But still, in theory, it’s Paul’s decision.”
After being sidelined, Sami Zayn has become the main underdog in WWE. This time around, the fans rally behind him with a surge of momentum evident during Friday Night Smackdown.
At the upcoming Elimination Chamber Premium Live Event, Zayn will face off against Roman Reigns for the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship. It remains to be seen how he will fare in this high-stakes match.
Although Vince McMahon has returned to WWE’s Board of Directors to facilitate a company sale, he is not typically involved in creative direction. However, Reigns’ situation may be a rare exception to this rule.
