At the Night of Champions PPV, Sami Zayn finally earned the top prize in the company: he is the WWE Champion.
But now that he’s finally reached this culmination, how long will he hold the belt? And how will Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens play into his reign?
The Main Event: Sami’s career so far
It’s been a long journey to Sami’s first world champion. We take a look back at how he got here, from his early days across the international wrestling scene to NXT to injuring himself before his match with John Cena started.
The Three Count:
Danielle put over Sami cruisin’ with the title.
Lindsey put over Gunther vs. Nick Aldis.
Hal put over a gaming moment of zen.
