Sami Zayn teases major announcement ahead of WWE WrestleMania 40

WWE RAW star Sami Zayn has taken to social media today to tease a major announcement ahead of WrestleMania this weekend. The former Bloodline member will be taking on Gunther for the Intercontinental Championship at The Show of Shows.

Speaking with Sportskeeda Wrestling in an exclusive interview, the former champion noted that he is lucky to be challenging the longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion in history. He added that it is the biggest match outside those with Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, and The Rock.

"If you watch WWE, you can see how fast things move. I'm just, I feel very lucky to be in the position a year later, challenging the longest-reigning, most dominant Intercontinental Champion of all time.

So, I'm grateful to find myself in that spot and excited about," he said. [From 02:08 onwards]
