WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff has allegedly claimed that a current Bloodline member is not willing to work with Sami Zayn a few years ago.
According to him, Sami Zayn was a competent competitor on Monday Night RAW.
However, the former Honorary Uce officially moved to SmackDown in the 2019 WWE Draft later that same year. Zain’s move came after Paul Heyman was appointed Executive Director of RAW while Eric Bischoff was also appointed the Executive Director of SmackDown.
Speaking on Keepin’ It 100, Bischoff demonstrated that Heyman directed him to accept Zayn to his show, noting that Roman Reigns’ Wise Man did not want to work with the former Intercontinental Champion.
He said, “I met Sami when I was there in 2019. At that point of time Paul Heyman and I were splitting the roster, right? So, we were doing trades. It was like fantasy football trades but twice a week trying to build our own roster.
“And when it came to Sami, Paul Heyman was like, ‘nah, you take him. You’ll love working with Sami,’ because Paul didn’t want to work with him. And that’s how I got to know Sami. You know, just kind of digging into him a little bit and seeing what he was about.
“He’s a very very very smart cat. Like you gotta pay close attention because the best part of Sami’s in between the lines. He’s gold if you listen to him closely. He’s really talented,” he said.
