#5 His story

Sami Zayn
Zayn’s rise to the top has been an inspirational journey

Sami Zayn used to wrestle under a mask as El Generico on the independent scene, where he spent 11 years trying to break into the big time of the business. After over a decade of scratching and clawing, he made it to NXT, where he once again had to prove to the world that he belonged.

He pulled it off by capturing the NXT Championship, but a horrendously timed injury sidelined the ultimate underdog for months on end.

People continuously undervalued and underrated Zayn, but he's continued to fight back against the odds and put everything he has into professional wrestling. It's a truly inspirational story that can resonate throughout fans all over the world, which is why he's such an appealing character and man in general.

Sami Zayn started off like every single one of us, but now he's a hero for future generations to come.
