Sami Zayn broke down backstage after his world title loss in the WWE Raw main event.
CM Punk ended this week’s Raw episode in celebration after he dethroned Sami Zayn as the Undisputed WWE Champion. Zayn, on the other hand, left the show titleless after a mere nine-day reign, and as seen on a social media video, he’s not taking it well.
“I have a question,” Zayn said while walking around backstage. “How is that after 24 years of crawling and inching for every little inch to get the WWE Championship, 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 it? Get a chance? That motherf***er, he has no business, no business.”
Zayn followed his profanity-laced rant with an emotional collapse to the floor, where he attempted to cover up his sobs with his hand. The sounds of the live crowd can be heard as the video ends, showing Zayn hunched over on his knees.
Zayn was originally scheduled to defend his title against Cody Rhodes, who defeated Jey Uso in a number one contender’s match just days before. When a backstage attack from Gunther then rendered Rhodes unable to compete, Punk emerged as the surprise replacement for the Undisputed WWE Championship match. “The Second City Saint” went on to defeat Zayn in the main event with a Helluva Kick, followed by a GTS.
