Sami Zayn has commented on the immense outpouring of support following his WWE Championship victory at Night Of Champions, describing the reception as overwhelming and deeply touching. In a recent interview, Zayn shared his feelings about the praise he's received, noting that words like 'overdue' and 'deserved' have come up frequently from those he respects.

Among the many messages Zayn has received, one particularly stood out: a note from John Cena. Zayn revealed that Cena's message served as a powerful reminder of the difficulty in reaching the pinnacle of professional wrestling. Cena reportedly emphasized that less than 1% of those who aspire to be wrestlers ever achieve such a level of success.

“One of the things he said that also really touched me is like, this is a genuinely earned. I don’t want to throw out personal stuff that he said to me, but the thing that stuck to me is that he said you really did it your way. Man, I just thought that was so cool coming from him. He’s the man because he didn’t have to text me at all. It’s really one of the more touching texts that I got, to be honest with you.”

Zayn found Cena's words particularly meaningful, appreciating the reminder of the unlikelihood and difficulty of achieving such a significant career milestone. He described the message as thoughtful and one of the most touching he received after his championship win.

The 'Last Real Good Guy' appears to be deeply moved by the positive response from the wrestling community, viewing it as a genuine validation of his career journey. This significant win and the subsequent commendations from peers and legends alike seem to have solidified Zayn's place in WWE history.
