Sami Zayns tenure as WWE Intercontinental Champion came to an end at WWESummerSlamwhen helost the title to Bron Breakker but he is now feuding with GUNTHER. Following the events of RAW this week, Zayn made it clear he wants to honor Bret Harts legacy.
Sami Zayn appeared on the September 9th episode of WWE Raw, wearing Johnny Gaudreau Calgary Flames jersey to honor Gaudreau, who tragically lost his life alongside his brother Matthew in an accident caused by an alleged drunk driver.
During the show, Zayn shared the ring with WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart after World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER interrupted the legend. Zayn challenged GUNTHER to a match, but GUNTHER declined.
While speaking onWWE Raw Talk, Zayn opened up about the emotional significance of the night. He mentioned that wearing the jersey wasnt due to being a Flames fan but to pay tribute to Johnny Gaudreau. Zayn reflected on the loss and how it made him contemplate the importance of time.
Sharing the ring with Bret Hart, his childhood hero, in Calgary felt deeply meaningful to him. Hearing Hart speak about the honor of being a champion, especially a Canadian champion, inspired Zayn to aim for the World Heavyweight Championship. Zayn declared that hes coming for Gunthers title, feeling the champions reign is nearing its end, and expressed his desire to carry on the legacy of champions like Hart.
We will have to wait and see whether Sami Zayn will be able to defeat GUNTHER and end up becoming the WWE World Heavyweight Champion and honor Bret Harts legacy, as that is certainly Zayns goal right now.
