Val Venis isn’t backing down from his recent wave of criticism, and now he’s turning his attention toward Sami Zayn by making a huge claim about his drawing power.

After going after Brody King and Mick Foley over political messaging tied to ICE, Val Venis jumped back on Twitter and escalated things again, this time taking a direct shot at Sami Zayn. The latest comment didn’t come with much buildup — just a blunt jab aimed at Zayn’s drawing power.

“My jockstrap is a bigger draw than Sami Zayn on any given night.”

The shot ties into a long-running beef between Venis and Zayn, largely fueled by their opposing views and Venis’ ongoing criticism of wrestlers using their platform to speak on political issues.

This isn’t happening in a vacuum either. Zayn is currently featured in a major feud on WWE television, locked into a feud with Trick Williams, which makes Venis’ timing stand out even more as he continues targeting active names in the industry.

Venis has spent the past few months going after multiple wrestlers over political expression — first criticizing Foley for reacting to an AEW crowd chant, then calling out Brody King for wearing an “Abolish ICE” shirt — and now shifting the focus to Zayn with a more personal attack.

At the end of the day, this wasn’t just another opinion post. Venis is actively calling out current talent, and with Sami Zayn now in the mix, it’s clear he’s not backing off anytime soon.

Do you think Val Venis’ comments about Sami Zayn cross the line, or is this just part of how wrestling personalities speak out? Let us know your thoughts.
