Sami Zayn On Johnny Knoxville

Sami Zayn previously commented on his rivalry with Johnny Knoxville. In August 2023, Zayn discussed their feud and the match during an appearance on the Out of Character podcast.

“I don’t know if we’ll ever bury the hatchet. We bumped into each other at WrestleMania 39, actually, and it doesn’t feel right. I don’t know. It doesn’t feel right. But I feel like it’s not over. I feel like even though you know, I’ve obviously turned the page and I’ve gone into a new chapter of my career here. As you said, I’ve reached even higher highs than before. I still feel like this thing with Johnny Knoxville is not quite over, and it feels like there’s somewhere to go with that.”
