Sami Zayn is a WWE Superstar currently working in the company's blue brand SmackDown.

Since joining WWE, Sami Zayn has won the NXT Championship and the Intercontinental Championship. He was even voted Superstar of the Year back in 2014.

While discussing the Intercontinental Championship with Ryan Satin of FOX Sports, Sami Zayn was asked about his thoughts on his most recent run as Intercontinental Champion. Zayn said he was thrilled about his work and very proud of his run as the Great Liberator.

"Oh, yeah, thrilled. I think that’s—I really think it’s some of the best work I’ve ever done. Certainly from a character perspective, and definitely as a bad guy, a heel. Cause I was a good guy forever and then all of a sudden to be doing this. I was really, really proud of the work I did from, really, maybe August of 2019 when I first started aligning with Shinsuke and I first started calling myself "The Great Liberator" and all that stuff."
