Undisputed WWE Champion Sami Zayn appeared on “Insight With Chris Van Vliet,” where he discussed various topics, including being pitched as the one to end GUNTHER’s Intercontinental Title reign.
Zayn said, “I don’t know how it came about. I truly don’t.”
On people thinking it should have been Chad Gable:
“I don’t know how it kind of came about. I think the dominoes just fell in that way because I was actually, if you go back and watch, leading into even in November or something. I think I remember I was doing promos with Drew McIntyre about how I’d never beaten him, and how I’ll be world champion, and I’ll show you. Then somehow, I don’t know how. That was one of those [times when] the dominoes fell in that direction. But I mean, again, it all kind of worked out, I think, in the end, because even Chad is in a better position now than he’s ever been right at this moment. I’m in a better position than I ever have been. So I think in a weird roundabout way, and sometimes you can’t really [anticipate it]. It’s come up a few times now as we’re talking about the domino effect that you can’t really predict. But then 10 years removed, or from a different overhead point of view, and you’re like, well, actually, this is kind of the starting point.”
