WWE superstar and Honorary Uce, Sami Zayn has been on quite a roll ever since he joined The Bloodline. Sami’s chemistry with The Usos and the Tribal Chief Roman Reigns has elevated the stable to new heights and is the hottest thing in all of wrestling right now.

Zayn has been having some trouble with Jey Uso ever since he joined the stable but Jimmy, Solo Sikoa and Roman Reigns have warmed up to him and it makes for compelling television each time they are in the ring.

There was a segment last month where Sami was officially named the Honorary Uce when Roman Reigns handed him a t-shirt with the term printed on it. Sami recently spoke about it and had good things to say. In an interview with BT Sport, Sami said that he was blown away by the reaction ever since. “So, when we did that whole segment, I guess the nicer answer would be to say that, ‘No, I didn’t expect that at all,’ but actually I knew that if we did it right, this would be a very, very memorable segment. 

“I think when all is said and done, I think people will remember that segment for many, many years to come, which is the hardest thing to do at this stage in the industry because we have a lot of content and we have a lot of great performers,” said Sami.

How was Sami Zayn named the 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.
