WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair didn’t pull any punches when asked about current SmackDown star Sami Zayn and stated he wasn’t a fan.
On the Wooooo Nation Uncensored Podcast, Flair and host Mark Madden brought up Zayn. The Nature Boy opened up about his relationship with the former Intercontinental Champion.
Ric Flair also discussed Zayn’s feud with Johnny Knoxville and his belief that the Jackass star is the only person Sami can beat, saying:
That’s (Knoxville) the only guy on the roster that Zayn could probably beat. If he (Zayn) gets heat with me, he’s got to get heat with the marks,
Flair then said that he found it difficult to have conversations with Sami Zayn and compared it to his interactions with Kevin Owens.
Flair stated:
For me, personally, when I got to make small talk to get along with Sami Zayn… that’s all I’ve got to say. When I got to walk through to make small talk… with Kevin Owens — who is 10 times the performer and a great guy – who understands and respects who I am; and Sami Zayn kind of easing around in the hallway and I got to make small talk to connect with him, he’s done in my book.
Ric Flair isn’t the first WWE star to state that Sami Zayn rubs them the wrong way. It is even something Zayn has admitted to himself in the past as well.
