Sami Zayn didn’t just lose the WWE Title to CM Punk. He completely fell apart after it was over.
WWE took to Twitter and posted footage of Sami after his loss on RAW, and he was furious over Punk walking back into the company after months away and getting a title shot just nine days after Sami finally became champion. The rant was loaded with anger, f-bombs, and years of frustration spilling out at once.
“I have a question. How is it that after 24 years of crawling and inching for every little inch to get to the WWE Title, after I finally get it, nine days after I get it, that piece of s** can walk back in here after not being here for months and waltz right in and get a chance?
That mother**** has no business! No business!”
Then it got even worse for Sami. After the rant, he crumpled to the ground and started crying, making it clear this was not just about losing one match. This was about finally reaching the top after years of fighting for that moment, only to watch it disappear in barely over a week.
Fans were already furious before WWE dropped that footage. Punk beat Sami for the Undisputed WWE Championship on the July 6 episode of RAW in Chicago, giving his hometown crowd the ending they wanted, but a lot of people online felt Sami got robbed of a real reign.
Bottom line: Sami Zayn still got his WWE Championship moment, but this footage made it clear he doesn’t see nine days as enough. Punk left Chicago with the title, but Sami’s breakdown may be the thing that keeps this story burning.
