Sami Zayn has finally found his way into Jim Cornette’s heart despite Cornette having an infamously well documented hatred for Sami.
Jim Cornette and Brian Last discussed last week’s SmackDown on the most recent episode of Jim Cornette’s Drive-Thru, podcast. “Oh, I’ve been feeling Ucey,” Cornette said. He then continued to say that Sami Zayn is now his favorite person on WWE television.
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 Ucees.
“Sami Zayn is brilliant. If somebody had written this for him, it wouldn’t have been the same. He delivers it so well because he’s taking the story. He’s taking the content that they’re giving him.”
He’s turned it into his own weasel-ish delivery. And he’s such a convincing toadying, stoogy, flunky type of disingenuous. I mean, all the adjectives and nouns and verbs and adverbs you can come up with. He’s great. And you can tell he’s a weasel but he’s such an entertaining weasel that he’s becoming the biggest babyface in the business.

Obviously, Cornette is on Sami’s side in this ongoing story. Time will tell what the endgame will look like for this storyline.
