Sami Zayn has been on a roll since his monumental victory over Gunther at WrestleMania XL. Despite being betrayed by Chad Gable, Zayn has managed to remain the Intercontinental Champion.

There is no denying Zayn has a sizable fan base, which justifies his success. However, a certain WWE veteran feels Sami Zayn needs to work on his presentation. 

During an interview, former WWE writer, Vince Russo, criticized The Canadian wrestler’s appearance. Russo expressed that Zayn resembles a disheveled person.

Vince Russo says Sami Zayn looks like a “slob”

While speaking on the Sportskeeda Wrestling Legion of Raw podcast, Vince Russo labeled Sami Zayn a “slob” due to his unkempt appearance. Russo also pointed out that Zayn was well-groomed during his days in NXT. However, he is not a fan of Zayn’s present look. 

He said, “My biggest pet peeve with Sami Zayn is and I said it a lot, bro, you look like a slob. You look like I don’t know, you put your hair under the shower and then.. I don’t know what.. I saw him on NXT, Chris, when he was shortcut with the Irish cap, the nice groomed beard, I liked the guy. My biggest problem with this guy is, every time I see him, he looks like a slob.”

His appearance aside, Sami Zayn has undeniably proven he is championship-material time and again through his resilience in the ring and connection with the WWE Universe. 

The 39-year-old star defeated Chad Gable at Clash at the Castle after a very physical match and retained his IC Championship. 

At present, Sami Zayn is looking for a new contender for his IC Championship. And after the latest edition of Raw, it’s conspicuous that Zayn is in the crosshairs of the dreaded, Bron Breakker.

The 17/6 edition of Raw saw Bron Breakker getting in the face of Sami Zayn. However, he was then interrupted by Sheamus. As a result, Sheamus and Breakker were pitted against each other in a match, the winner of which would get a title shot at Zayn’s IC Championship. 

Surprisingly, Breaker’s performance in the match was a far cry from his previous matches as Sheamus was proving to be a tough challenge. At one point in the match, however, Ludwig Kaiser got involved, leading to a disqualification of the match.
