Sami Zayn has been working hard for the past 8-years since joining WWE, but his hard work has been paying off. He has been a highlight of WWE programming for years now, and his best work has been his most recent.

Ever since joining The Bloodline, Sami has made the group more popular than ever. His comedic timing has added some much-needed levity, but it hasn’t gotten in the way of the developing storyline. 

As things stand, he has become a major point of contention for Roman Reigns and Jey Uso. Jey can’t stand Sami Zayn and think’s he’s trying to conspire against the group from the inside.

On the other hand, Roman has given Sami his full trust and sees his cousin Jey as the problem. He is quickly making himself into an enemy, but one man who used to hate him now loves him.

Jim Cornette Feeling Ucey?

Jim Cornette, who has in the past been heavily critical of Sami, now sees Sami as a highlight. The controversial figure even took to Twitter to say as much, to the bafflement of Sami himself.

Cornette said in his post, “Let me tell you something. I never thought that I would say this. But I think now Sami Zayn is my favorite person to watch on television. El Generico certainly wasn’t, but Sami Zayn is incredible. And this whole thing with The Bloodline and The Usos and Uces.”

Cornette also praised Sami Zayn on his podcast The Jim Cornette Experience where he said, “Oh, I’ve been feeling Ucey. Let me tell you something. I never thought that I would say this. But I think now Sami Zayn is my favorite person to watch on television. El Generico certainly wasn’t, but Sami Zayn is incredible.” (H/T RingsideNews.com)

You can see Sami Zayn’s reaction to Cornette’s praise below:

As things stand, tension is continuing to grow within The Bloodline, but it has to boil over at some point. Will Jey come around to Sami being in The Bloodline, or will Roman have to make some changes?

As one of the biggest younger stars in the main roster at the moment, Theory has fought for his position.  

Since his great days at NXT besides Jhonny Gargano as The Way, until they called up him to the main roster. 

Positioning himself as Vince McMahon’s protégée, and becoming Mr. Money In The Bank.

Although he has not had a successful cashing so far, Austin has established himself as an annoying heel creating a great character and promise in the industry.

And now, according to Jim Cornette Theory angered a higher-up in WWE.

While speaking on his podcast, Jim Cornette Experience, Cornette stated that he believes Austin Theory might have angered a higher-up in WWE. 

“The one undisputed thing that poor billionaire Vince was doing when he lost his mind was trying to push Austin Theory and make him one of the next top guys. He was the handpicked protege of the Chairman, he was in all the promos. Even if some of the creative was caca, they were trying. Apparently, Austin Theory has pi*sed somebody off. I don’t know what the issue is. Especially Triple H being more inclined to push guys that can work and look like stars, more serious and less of the goofy stuff that Vince was into. Theory can’t beat a fu*king rug no more.” Jim expressed.

“Something’s going on. Either just because there’s backlash because he was Vince’s guy or he pi*sed somebody off. Nobody that has any knowledge of pro wrestling can overlook that this guy’s work is tremendous for his age and his personality and promos for his level of experience of being that young. Something else is going.” (Via Jim Cornette Experience Podcast) 

There is no confirmation of the situation besides Cornette’s words.

Liv Morgan has been a significant feature within the Raw women’s division in the past few months. She had a match for the Women’s Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania with Rhea Ripley as her partner.

Their union would dissolve soon after, but Liv has since stayed in the spotlight through feuding with Judgement Day. The Hell in a Cell premium live event saw her team with Finn Balor and AJ Styles against the heels.

Unfortunately, Judgement Day would seize victory, potentially putting an end to the rivalry between the two groups, especially given Monday’s events. Although Liv has been one of the more prominently featured women, one legend doesn’t care much for her work.

Jim Cornette compared Liv to Rhea Ripley on the latest episode of Jim Cornette Experience and praised Rhea’s skills. He doesn’t like Morgan and feels Rhea has carried her through the bulk of their matches together.

“They’ve been fighting every week. Liv Morgan does not grow on me. She’s too girly to be a wrestler. Rhea Ripley has to, not only bend over backward, but has to do the limbo to make it believable that Liv Morgan is hanging in there with her, right?” Cornette said.

“When Rhea and Liv got in there, again, Ripley is everything I like about women’s wrestling and Morgan is the opposite. She’s too small, her sh*t it’s awkward, she’s trying to do sh*t to bigger people and they’re trying to let her, it doesn’t come across. I don’t… she’s too pretty… I just don’t see it,” he stated.

It’s unfortunate Cornette thinks so negatively about Liv, but not surprising as he’s often critical regarding WWE’s current product. While he may not like Morgan’s work, fans have been strongly behind her for a long time now.

This is why WWE has pushed Liv the way they have this year, starting with a title program against Becky Lynch. The two wrestled in some stellar matches as part of their feud, but Becky would always walk away as champion.

Even if Liv is done with Rhea and Judgement Day, WWE will likely keep her as a focal point. With Money in the Bank being the next big event, Liv will probably be in the women’s ladder match.

Given the work she’s put in, this could be her year as she would be a strong favorite to win.

Jim Cornette is, without a doubt, one of the most known names in the entire pro wrestling business.

His work as a commentator, manager and promoter have made him one of the most respected voices in the world.

During the last episode of his Jim Cornette Experience podcast, Jim slammed AEW’s Tony Khan as one of the worst bookers he’s ever seen, while also praising MJF’s great work in putting Wardlow over.

He said:

“He put Wardlow over like a million dollars. And Wardlow’s not only more over than he was going into it, because he did what he said he would, but MJF is more over than ever – he’s hotter now than he’s ever been. He is a genius.

MJF is a once-in-a-generation performer. And Tony Khan is one of the worst amateur bookers I’ve ever seen, who has been blessed with this guy that’s able to get himself over no matter what.” (Via Jim Cornette Experience, H/T RingsideNews)

This isn’t the first time that Cornette criticized AEW’s product, roster or Tony Khan himself.

His comments on Adam Cole’s arrival at All Elite Wrestling last year are a perfect example of that.
