Sami Zayn is one of the most genuine people in the WWE. From in ring performances to cutting insane promos on the microphone, Sami always gives his all and it is because of that reason that the WWE fans love him so much. In his matches, he always gives his 100 percent, and it doesn’t matter if the opponent is big or small as was the case at last year’s WrestleMania where he took on Johnny Knoxville.

When Sami Zayn joined The Bloodline, there was a lot of skepticism from people like Jey Uso who did not warm up to him, but everything changed during an episode of SmackDown. As Roman Reigns was talking to Jey Uso about how he needs to change his behavior, Zayn interrupted the Tribal Chief, much to the delight of the fans inside the arena.

He then went on to say about how he wants things to work out between Jey and himself and also that Jey was not being very ‘Ucey.’ That word made everyone in the ring break character and laugh. Jey Uso was not able to control his laughter and neither was Roman. Reigns however gained his composure back and played along to the tune of the crowd and that was probably one of the most interesting segments of the past year in the WWE.

Sami Zayn thinks Honorary Uce segment with Roman Reigns is his best ever

Sami Zayn had some trouble with Jey Uso ever since he joined the stable but Jimmy, Solo Sikoa and Roman Reigns warmed up to him and it made for compelling WWE television each time they were in the ring.

There was a segment 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.
