Actor and stuntman Johnny Knoxville is all set to take on Sami Zayn at this year’s WrestleMania in an Anything Goes match.
The Jackass star recently spoke with UK Metro and encouraged his fans to not stop calling Zayn on his phone number and he also said that he plans on retiring Sami at WrestleMania.
He said, ‘If you need him to clean your house or maybe give you a pedicure, he’s going to need a lot of odd jobs after WrestleMania because I’m gonna retire him. I’m training a bunch and I can’t wait to punch Sami Zayn in that stupid face. I go to sleep thinking about it, I dream about it, I wake up in the morning and it’s the first thing I think about. He’s gonna pay at WrestleMania.’
Knoxville then admitted that he is enjoying his time working with the WWE and that he would love to do more with the company in the future. ‘I would love to come back and do something more in the future! It’s been a dream come true working with the WWE,’ he said. ‘It’s been so much fun, I didn’t realise I would become so completely obsessed with it like I have, it’s so fun!’

He then opened up about how he has been training for the big event and noted that he now has a personal coach. Knoxville also said that he has a few special things planned for the show.
He said, “I have a personal wrestling coach and he’s teaching me all the right moves, The Warp Your Head Off Hold, the Stepover Toe Hold, all these things I’m gonna bring back. I wouldn’t wanna be Sami April 3rd. Or April 1st, May 1st, I would never wanna be Sami Zayn. I don’t think anybody would like to be that. Wake up and have to look in the mirror and see that face every day? Urgh!’
‘Oh, I got a few special things planned. I don’t wanna give it away, But they said “anything goes”, that’s my speciality!’
Knoxville isn’t the only celebrity set to wrestle at WrestleMania, as Logan Paul is set to team with The Miz against Rey and Dominik Mysterio.
