Sami Zayn Reveals Which Classic Championship Design He’d Like To Revive
Sami Zayn has revealed which classic championship design he would like to bring back.
The Bloodline star recently had an interview with Battleground podcast. He discussed things such as his wrestling journey with Kevin Owens, Raw’s move to Netflix, and more.
While discussing Saturday Night’s Main Event and the return of the Winged Eagle WWE Championship, Sami was asked which classic title design he would like to bring back. A former Intercontinental Champion himself, Zayn noted how a lot of people have an affinity to the white-strapped IC title:
“I know a lot of folks, I’m probably not unique in saying this, but a lot of folks have an affinity for that early 90s Intercontinental Championship, the classic one that you think of Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart and Mr Perfect. A lot of people have an affinity for that.”
I Thought They Were Really Cool: Sami Zayn
Sami Zayn recalled how Cody Rhodes had brought the title design back during his 2011 reign and he was the one who actually retired it. The Honorary Uce then also revealed that he has a special place in his heart for the classic WWE tag team championship:
“I know Cody Rhodes brought that back several years ago. Actually I think I was the one who retired it. When I was managing Shinsuke Nakamura. He held that title and I was like ‘All right! Out with the old, in with the new.’ I actually introduced this new championship.
I like the new Championship but people just have a special place in their hearts for that one. So I wouldn’t mind seeing that one back but actually a championship that I really liked was the old WWE World Tag Team Championships. Fan of those ones.
I know the ones over on Smackdown currently kind of have a little element of that to them. It does have a similar shape. So that’s kind of cool but I was partial to that, the late 90s Tag Team Championships there. I thought they were really cool.”
