Sami Zayn went an extra step at Night of Champions to please his Arabic fans in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. During the announcements before the match, Zayn took the microphone from the announcer. He made the rest of the announcements in the local language, to a loud reaction from the crowd.
Sami Zayn has enjoyed his time in Saudi Arabia this past week. This has special significance as Zayn is of Syrian origin. Due to the strained relationship between Syria and Saudi Arabia, the 38-year-old had never been to the country while working with WWE. However, the two countries have now signed a diplomatic relationship agreement.
Before the match, Mike Rome announced the challengers. When he was about to do the same for the champions, Sami Zayn interrupted him and took the microphone. He energized the crowd as he started speaking in Arabic. Zayn said that now that they are in an Arab country and they have an Arab Champion in the ring, they will do this the Arab way. The crowd reacted to this with loud applause.
The 38-year-old then announced the Champions, Kevin Owens, and himself. As a result, the main event started with a blast as the four men squared off for a spectacular match. Sami Zayn embraced the culture of Saudi Arabia completely, as he also came out to the ring in a thobe. The Canadian superstar also got the opportunity to perform Umrah at Mecca. It is considered the most sacred deed in Islamic culture.
In the main event of the night, Jimmy Uso turned on Roman Reigns, superkicking him twice in the ring. Thus, Sami Zayn’s prophecy came true, and The Bloodline finally imploded. Owens and Zayn emerged victorious when the latter hit Solo Sikoa with a helluva kick. The duo retained their Tag Team titles at Night of Champions.
Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens achieves a unique feat at Night of Champions
The Tag Team Champions put a unique achievement under their belts at Night of Champions. They have now become the only wrestlers to defeat all the members of The Bloodline in tag team competitions. This feat has not been achieved by anyone, and this might be the beginning of the end for The Bloodline.
Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn defeated The Usos at WrestleMania 39. They won the Tag Team titles from the duo in the main event of Night 1. Since then, The Bloodline has seen dissension among its members. To take matters into his own hands, Roman Reigns decided to take on the Tag Team Champions with Solo Sikoa.
But in a shocking turn of events, Jimmy Uso turned on his family and caused The Tribal Chief to lose the match. Zayn and Owens capitalized on the situation, getting a victory over all four members of The Bloodline in two months.
