Sami Zayn has turned from a villain to a hero in a jiffy. The Great Liberator joined the Bloodline as the ‘Honorary Uce’ after helping the faction members. This was before Roman Reigns officially recognized him by gifting him a T-shirt with ‘Honorary Uce’ written.

After being a negative character for a long time, Zayn joined the Bloodline as a face and got fans lined up by his side for his gimmick and charisma. Many consider him the best character in WWE lately and want him to make more appearances on Raw as well. 

In a recent appearance on ‘After The Bell’ with Corey Graves, Sami Zayn revealed that things didn’t look sensible in the beginning. Nobody expected fans to get engaged in the storyline and love the gimmick from scratch. 

“It’s not something you predict ahead of time. It’s not something that you want to see or would think would make sense. But in the execution [it has worked.]. The concept is a bit strange. All the Bloodline is a family, and here’s this person who is clearly not family. The whole thing doesn’t make sense on paper. But it’s the perfect example of when things work in execution more than they do on paper.”

As a part of a classic match card, the most likely main event of Survivor Series 2022 will be the Men’s WarGames match. Ten hard-hitting superstars will collide for supremacy in a match as brutal as it could be. 

For the first time, the Bloodline will be in action in full force. The dominant faction will collide with the team of Sheamus, Butch, Ridge Holland, Drew McIntyre, and Kevin Owens. With fans engaged in the rivalry between the two sides, it could be interesting to see who gets the victory for the fans. 

But things may boil up to the fullest as well. Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens are both a part of the match. Fans rallying with both men lately could end up in a betrayal or an iconic moment. The two former friends, who have not been together for a long time, may end up reuniting with each other.
