Wrestling veteran discusses unique reason why Sami Zayn's wife deserves a paycheck from WWE

Former WWE manager Dutch Mantell feels Sami Zayn's wife has been an integral part of his major storylines.

Zayn has been on a stellar run recently. He defeated Gunther at WrestleMania against all odds to become the new Intercontinental Champion. Last week on RAW, Sami battled Chad Gable in the main event. He ended up winning the match but couldn't celebrate as the Alpha Academy member turned heel and blindsided him with a vicious attack.

In a recent clip from Story Time with Dutch Mantell, the veteran discussed the events from this past week's episode of RAW. He pointed out that whenever WWE was in Montreal, Sami's wife was always at ringside to cheer him. He recalled she was there when Sami Zayn wrestled Roman Reigns at Elimination Chamber last year. Mantell felt that WWE could compensate her monetarily for being a constant presence and an integral part of major storylines.

"His wife was there. And we're used to seeing her. When he wrestled, who did he wrestle? Roman? In Montreal? They've seen his wife on TV before. So she's become like a little staple there at ringside. Hope they get her a check for this. His kids are out there. He went and kissed his wife, hugged her, 'Oh honey, I love you.' And it was very touchy really." [From 1:10 - 1:45]
