Val Venis says WWE has “lowered the bar to ‘dumpster on fire’ levels” following Sami Zayn’s WWE title victory
As seen during the 2026 WWE Night of Champions PLE, Sami Zayn defeated Cody Rhodes and Gunther to win the WWE title for the first time in his career. Former WWE star Val Venis (Sean Morley) was critical of the match as he wrote the following messages via Twitter/X…
“Both of these losers would carry my bags, and polish my boots. The IT FACTOR guys like Hogan, The Rock, Austin, Undertaker and Triple H raised the bar of eligibility to unheard of heights. Its super cool that boss man Triple H lowered the bar to ‘dumpster on fire’ levels so the less fortunate could get a shot while the corporation looks to discover their next IT FACTOR guy like Hogan, Rock, or Austin.”
“The state of today’s professional wrestling can be summed up in this fact. I had to fight and beat the MMA legend, the World’s Most Dangerous Man, Ken Shamrock to win the Intercontinental Championship belt. Sami Zayn had to fight and beat a nobody to win the WWE World Title. Great booking @TripleH! But I congratulate you on getting some of that Saudi Money. Not a bad gig.”
