WWE superstar Sami Zayn spoke about his connection with The Bloodline (Roman Reigns, Solo Sikoa, The Usos) during a recent interview with BT Sport, where the former multi-time Intercontinental champion addressed the times he has made the group crack up laughing while they were performing for the WWE Universe. Highlights from the interview can be found below.
Says that he has a terrific connection with The Bloodline, and hopes that fans are happy to see them having fun while performing, including getting the boys to break:
People have made a big deal out of that, about the fact that they’re seeing little chinks in the armor, but to be honest, the reason it’s standing out so much is that it reminds the fans that the performers are really having fun doing this. It’s something that they sometimes forget. We’re enjoying doing this too. There is a real life chemistry between myself and that whole family. We have always gotten along splendidly and it’s nice to see that the fans are appreciating getting a window into that a little bit.
Says there are times when he is trying to get them to crack, but overall wants to remain professional:
I’ll admit, once or twice, I’m going out of my way to try and get them to crack. Generally, that’s something you have to tread cautiously because if you overdo that, it becomes…you’re just not being professional. Little bits are good, but like anything else, it can be redundant if it’s overdone or if you’re not taking it seriously enough. We are still trying to tell a story. In a weird way, it kind of works for the story because it’s a different character bringing this lightness to an otherwise serious group. The reason it works is because it is art initiating life and fitting into the story we’re trying to tell. Otherwise, it would just be completely out of place, if that makes sense. If it was Roman and the Usos talking, and they were cracking up laughing, it wouldn’t make any sense because that’s not supposed to happen. I’m supposed to be bringing this lightness to it, so it makes some sense.
