Sami Zayn made history by putting an end to Gunther‘s Intercontinental Championship reign at WrestleMania Saturday. Now that Zayn is the holder of the Workhorse Championship he will be a busy man on Monday Nights. But it seems like he will also be busy outside of WWE. Recently, Zayn revealed that he will be doing a special project outside the realm of WWE.
While speaking on The Ringer Wrestling Show, the newly crowned Intercontinental Champion revealed that he has gotten a manager to help him with things outside WWE.
“I recently got a manager and an agent for outside WWE type stuff. Trying to dip my toes into that world a little bit.
“It opened their eyes to a different side of it. The character side of it. Enough people started telling me, ‘You’re a pretty good actor.’ ‘Yeah? Really? I always thought I’d be alright.’ ‘You’re funny.’ ‘Really? I always wanted to be a comic when I was a kid. You don’t say.’ It made me feel good. I always thought I had a knack for it and all of a sudden, I got to flex those chops a little on WWE. I thought, ‘Let’s see what’s going on outside of WWE TV.’ The mentality within the company, in regards to how they approach talent wanting to do outside stuff, has really changed as of late, for the better. We’ll see.
“To be honest, I agreed to the show and…I had no show. ‘Hey, do you want to do this thing?’ ‘Yup.’ ‘Okay, we’re going to announce it.’ Uh oh. I better come up with a show,” Sami Zayn said. [H/T Fightful.com]
The Sami Zayn & Friends Show will be taking place on May 11th at the ‘Netflix Is A Joke Festival’.
