Sami Zayn is eyeing AEW stars for future matches
Although Sami Zayn is one of the biggest stars in the WWE, it appears he’s been keeping an eye on talent from a rival promotion. While speaking with Peter Rosenberg Zayn spoke of three member of the AEW roster he would like to meet in the squared circle.
“I do see some guys out there,” Zayn said.
Jumping right to “The Devil” of AEW Zayn mentioned him first, “MJF pops to mind – I think he’s very talented.”
Sami Zayn isn’t just focused on the tops stars of AEW, “There’s a kid in AEW called Dante Martin who’s just, like, a really great high flyer and it kind of reminds me of the matches I would have on the independents with guys who are really good high flyers, so just strictly based on in-ring, I think, just if we were working an indie in front of 300 people.”
Most of all though, Sami Zayn says he’d like to wrestle some old friends.
“It’s guys that I’ve worked with before that I just miss and that I would love to work with again now like Kenny Omega just as an example.”
Paying his friend a compliment, “He was super easy to work – he was a lot like me actually, I thought, very detail-oriented,” Zayn said
“The last time I saw him was in December of 2012 and, you know, I miss him and I miss working him.”
It appears with the news of Shinsuke Nakamura getting the opportunity to wrestle for another promotion, other WWE stars maybe looking for the same. Keep an eye on WrestlingRepublic.com to see if WWE opens the door for others to cross promotions.
