WWE Superstar Sami Zayn recently shared a tweet saying that his WrestleMania 38 opponent Johnny Knoxville has ruined his reputation and that he was not well.

The feud between the two men commenced in January this year when Knoxville announced his entry into the men's Royal Rumble match. This was not well received by the Conspiracy Theorist, who stated that the former was out of line to consider a place in the Royal Rumble.

Their feud culminated at WrestleMania 38, where the Jackass Forever star won. The intensely entertaining match kept fans on the edge of their seats as Knoxville, and the Jackass team entertained the WWE Universe with their in-ring antics.

In his tweet, Sami Zayn claimed that Knoxville ruined the reputation he had been building over the last 20 years as one of the most versatile wrestlers.
