Speaking with Alex McCarthy of Mail Online, he revealed that Mr. McMahon and The Game both saw him differently. He discussed that for Vince, he was always a bad guy or heel. He liked his irksome persona and attitude. While Hunter has a long-term vision. Therefore, his perception is different. However, he called McMahon’s regime unpredictable.

Having said that, I think things were a lot more unpredictable because of the nature of Vince’s week to week, kind of approach, that sometimes the marble would just fall in the right hole, and now you’re champion, whereas with Hunter, I think it’s much more he has longer-term vision, and if you’re not part of that vision, then the chances of breaking into that vision are much, much slimmer.

Besides, he mentioned that the chances of him winning a World Title were higher under the leadership of McMahon. However, the Canadian superstar looked positive, as he had high hopes for the future. He looks forward to working diligently and with determination to see what the future holds for him. In essence, Zayn summed up the interview on a positive note.
