Sami Zayn responds to the claim that he has “turned heel” in WWE

I think I’m trying to play this one a little different, because this one is kind of different. We’re kind of writing these reactions, which are kind of different week to week.

I had this idea for a slight kind of character shift that would be a little kind of outside the box, that would kind of split the audience a little bit. But sometimes things just don’t work out exactly how you envision it. And sometimes you think you’re going to be somewhere on the timeline, and you’re not. You know what I mean?

Maybe I’m being a little vague here about it, but all this to say, I still think there’s a ways to go, and it could still go in a number of different ways, which I find very interesting and kind of refreshing.

Although to be fair, you know, if you kick a mannequin gingerbread man below the belt, I know that might upset some people because people want to have fun.”
