Sami Zayn was a key member of The Bloodline in WWE, rising to prominence under Roman Reigns‘ leadership. Initially known as The Underdog From the Underground, Zayn transformed into The Honorary Uce and eventually became Sami Uso. Recently, The OTC praised the 41-year-old star, calling him a “special performer” and highlighting the “magic” of their work with him.

Speaking on SHAK Wrestling, Roman Reigns expressed deep appreciation for his work with Sami Zayn. He acknowledged that while their collaboration was challenging at times, he and Paul Heyman made it work. The OTC called Zayn’s inclusion in The Bloodline an impeccable turn of events. Reigns further affirmed that their climactic match at Elimination Chamber in 2023 was the pinnacle of their chemistry.

But, honestly, it’s on me because I saw it, I knew it, I felt it, I knew that once you put me and him in a backstage together, it was gonna be gold, and it ended up taking a lot longer to get to that point, but once we did – I believe we were in Montreal, I think we were up in Canada when he finally got in the office or in the locker room with me, and it was magic.

I think Jim is by far the funniest of all of us. He’s our true entertainer. He’s the super positive one who’s always… he’s like a social butterfly.
