Sami Zayn wins Undisputed WWE Championship at Night of Champions
HOLY F*CK!!! Sami Zayn is the NEW WWE CHAMPION! #WWENOC
Wow. I was hoping that Sami Zayn would win the title but I didn't think they would actually pull the trigger on it. This is so fucking cool to see!
Yeahhhhhhhh THANK YOU Sami Zayn for FINALLY ending Cody's BORING championship run! #WWENOC
I am... starting to think they want Cody to be the "Man who gets #18" that Cena said he'd shake the hand of. He's getting that early Charlotte Fiair treatment of "person who has many reigns."
They wouldn’t give him a moment in front of 20000 fans in Montreal while he was red hot. But what they wouldn’t do for this fucking Arab blood money. It’s not like they put a gun to their heads right?,,,, or did they?
Woah! I genuinely thought that would never happen!
It breaks my heart that THE GUY WHO GOT ME INTO WRESTLING finally won the big one and I A) could not be less interested B) actively want people to not watch this awful promotion and C) won it at a Saudi blood money show Good for him, I suppose, but god damn what a bummer
ME when i wokely win the sex trafficking belt in Saudi Arabia sponsors by donald trump
huh i wonder why the RIYADH SEASON logo is right in the middle of the ring i wonder where this happened
Well this is one way to find out there was a WWE show on today.
I feel any this the way I felt about Big E winning. I'm happy for them, they've earned it, but it feels very "Here you go, damn" in this moment. Sami deserved to HAVE his moment at a time/place when folks could actually enjoy it instead of being stuck with the moral dilemma.
Sure… the socialists won in the NY primaries BUT THIS SOCIALIST JUST WON THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP BELT
Can’t believe it took this long, but HEY
They did it at a blood money show for a reason.
Doing this for the first time in 2026 is like if NJPW didn't put the belt on Okada until 2017. Doing this for the first time in 2026 is so laughable that it will get used as an example the next time something like it happens.
As it should be. (But did it have to be here tho?)
"Sami Zayn is a world champion" "I can't believe it, I cannot believe it"
good thread for blocking some folks
happy for that dude. truly one of the good ones.
I'm of two minds on this. Happy for Sami but this is definitely pandering to the Saudis. Hating the game not the player. The business ethics of TKO are cartoon villian level. I miss watching wrestling and AEW seems to like the taste of it's own dick too much. Has been getting better when I last 👀
I think Sami Zayn is the first wwe guy to trend on Bluesky
This happening in Saudi with this guy is gross.
Most deserved title win in a LONG time.
Sami Zayn is a Grand Slam Champion, I'm still taking it in.
I was ready for Cody to win /again/ but that was a wonderful surprise. I'm sure Cody is ready for a vacation or something lol
Kinda wanted Cody v Oba at summer slam for round 2
I no longer watch WWE, but Sami was always one of my favorite wrestlers. He so deserves these championships!
What about the UK Cup? smh
Not a Zayn fan it was a surprise. Saudi must have paid a couple of million to get that result
I like that Sami Zayn is the Heavyweight Champion of the World.
I just saw that! Good for him honestly bc he REALLY deserves it. The bittersweet part is that it happened in Saudi Arabia & not Canada.
6-8 years later than it would've happened with competent people in charge, as a heel when he's one of the greatest babyface wrestlers in the history of the business, after he's been through some shitty, devastating injuries... But at least it fuckin' happened.
Card looked awful going in so I was going to skip it. Then I saw it was on at 10 am here in cali and my niece and her fiancé were going to watch. Something told me to stop by. Really glad i did. So happy I saw that live. We all marked out. Haven't marked out in a looooong time.
welp. least they finally did the thing.
WWE is SPOOKED. Sami Zayn wouldn't have won the WWE Championship today in Saudi Arabia if Darby Allin didn't won the AEW World Championship 2 months ago on Wrestlemania week nonetheless. LMAO LET'S BE FUCKING REAL!!!!
Good to see him win the title in the country that finances the war in his home country and Gaza. Top notch stuff.
an undersized but passionate wrestler whom no one believed in wins the world title from the firmly established face of a brand. i wonder where i saw this before.
outside the storyline, this is fucking el generico. aew has the spirit of 2000s roh and wwe want to appeal to people more excited about the card tomorrow. I've also heard/noticed more talk about good matches recently, one even with rey Fenix, which also has to be an appeal to aew/real graps fans
They know they would’ve been lambasted shoving Jey vs. Cody down peoples’ throats again.
As soon as I saw it I was like… up they saw Darby’s title run and are trying to emulate that.
Wait. Sami won that shit?
Once upon a time, I would have been very happy to see Sami Zayn win the big one. But then that shithead dropped the R-slur on Kill Tony, so fuck him and fuck that company.
Sami could have made great money somewhere else for seven years now. He shows up in the first years of AEW he would have been on top. No excuses for this guy especially.
Being around that Kill Tony crowd, who knows what other things were said backstage that recordings aren't picking up. I would not doubt he laughs at anti-Black and homophobic jokes either.
No accomplishments there matter anyways. I’m not even sure if he won the top belt or not because they have multiple “world” titles. AEW has to many belts also but it’s clear there is only one world title. And fuck Sami Zayn. He is a piece of shit maga supporter
