Sami Zayn Airs Grievances on WWE Raw

On the October 26 episode of WWE Raw, Sami Zayn expressed his frustrations after being brought in to promote the show and Crown Jewel only to find himself left off the card. Zayn noted that Roman Reigns could have been brought out since it is his show but stated he would not complain about Reigns' part-time schedule.

He pointed out that Reigns looked at his schedule and decided to skip Fresno, adding that Reigns deserved the time off and that he wished he had done the same. Zayn invoked his time to speak and told Adam Pearce to leave the ring so he could get something off his chest.

He told the crowd he had given them too much credit and thought they could identify greatness when it stood in front of them, but they needed to be spoon fed who is great. Zayn said that is what happened with Trick Williams and that people like CM Punk have to tell fans he is the best in the world for them to accept it, while they acknowledge Roman Reigns because they want to.

He declared that no one in the business has done more with less, walked through miles of crap and came out clean, or been buried so far beneath the dirt and come out like he did. Zayn stated he dug deeper until he struck gold but added that he could brag about that yet he won't.

He concluded by saying he could brag about being the most versatile and that if your name is not Shawn, Eddie, or Kurt, you do not belong in the conversation.
