Fact or fiction: Did Sami Zayn embarrass himself in front of singer Axl Rose?

Rami Sebei, popularly known as Sami Zayn, is a huge fan of American musician Axl Rose. However, the Guns N' Roses lead vocalist denied the WWE superstar an opportunity to take a photo with him. Fans were perplexed when they first heard rumors about this, but later realized there was truth to the statement.

In 2016, WWE Superstar Sami Zayn was a guest on the Talk is Jericho! podcast. Chris knew that Zayn was a music lover and asked him if he ever had the opportunity to meet Axl Rose. The 38-year-old star revealed that he had, but the once-in-a-lifetime occasion didn't go as planned.

During a Guns N' Roses show in Chicago, Sami Zayn got an entry backstage. Ron Thal was the guitarist for GNR at the time, and he insisted on Sami playing the instrument. Then, like a crazed fan, the WWE star rocked backstage with some frenzied dancing which later became a source of embarrassment for Zayn.

Axl Rose continuously tried to get Sami to calm down, but his advice fell on deaf ears. After the performance, Sami Zayn got the chance to meet the legendary frontman, but he geeked out so hard that the singer refused to take a photo with him.

Guns N' Roses, formed in 1985, is regarded as one of the best hard rock bands of the modern generation. After winning multiple MTV Music Awards, it reached the pinnacle in 1993 when it was declared the Best Group at the World Music Awards.

The current lineup consists of Axl Rose, accompanied by lead guitarist Slash, bassist Duff McKagan, guitarist Richard Fortus, drummer Frank Ferrer, and Dizzy Reed and Melissa Reese on keyboards.
