Sami Zayn Honorary Hab: How did the WWE star get that name?

Sami Zayn is on a roll over the last 12 months and it’s not a surprise to see why. Zayn has taken his character to a different level and has connected with the fans in a way that was only achieved by Daniel Bryan at the height of the YES movement in 2014.

His rise to the top has not been his doing only as he has been ably supported by none other than the Tribal Chief Roman Reigns. When Sami Zayn joined The Bloodline initially, he was not welcome and it felt forced until the time Roman gave him an Honorary Uce t-shirt. That blew up and people started to refer to him as Sami Uso after that.

It went so viral that Sami Zayn was also honored at a Montreal Canadiens game. Zayn, being a Canadian, is a huge fan of hockey and is a massive supporter of the NHL team Montreal Canadiens. He was given a shirt with the term Honorary Hab and since then was named Sami Zayn Honorary Hab. Zayn wore that to arena’s all over the US and even wore it to the Elimination Chamber where he almost defeated Roman Reigns. The reaction to Sami was organic and did not feel forced and that is a rare thing is today’s wrestling world.

How did Sami Zayn Honorary Hab become Sami Zayn Honorary Uce?

This occurred on the September 23rd edition of WWE SmackDown. Roman Reigns came out and addressed the audience. When all was said and done and they were going away, Sami took the microphone and started talking which left Reigns bemused.

Reigns then took the microphone and said that Zayn needed to listen to him for once and not just talk. He then told Sami that he never wanted to see him wear the Bloodline shirt ever again and even asked Jey Uso to rip it off, which prompted boos from the crowd who were genuinely shocked.

Roman then threw a curveball and said that he did not want Sami to wear the Bloodline shirt because he got him a new shirt with the term Honorary Uce printed on it. Sami Zayn wore that shirt much to the delight of the crowd inside the arena and proceeded to hug Roman which was a very warm and heartfelt moment.
