A fascinating behind-the-scenes story has emerged, revealing that a completed Sami Zayn documentary never saw the light of day because Vince McMahon hated it.
During Zayns popular run with his conspiracy theorist gimmick, he teased fans with a documentary promising to uncover WWEs hidden secrets. The former Intercontinental Champion was occasionally followed by a camera crew throughout his segments, and in April 2021, he even dropped a trailer, hyping the film. However, the full documentary was never released.
On a recent episode of the Wrestling Matt podcast, Matt Camp revealed that the project was finished, but it was ultimately nixed by McMahon.
The decision to shelve the film came just before Zayn shifted into a new storyline with The Bloodline later that year, which went on to become one of WWEs most successful narratives in recent memory.
Zayns fans were disappointed to never see the project, as many were invested in the conspiracy storyline and intrigued by the promised revelations. However, Zayns transition into The Bloodline propelled him to new heights, solidifying his status as one of WWEs top stars.
While its unclear if the documentary will ever be released, the behind-the-scenes decision highlights McMahons hands-on approach and strict creative control over WWE programming.
