Matt Hardy on Sami Zayn Becoming WWE Champion: Wrestling is Best When It’s Unpredictable But Still Makes Sense

TNA veteran Matt Hardy has reacted to Sami Zayn winning the Undisputed WWE Championship at Saturday’s Night of Champions Premium Live Event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Sami finally realized his dream in front of his adoring fans as he pinned Cody Rhodes in the Triple Threat Match to finally earn the right to be called WWE Champion.

It was an emotional moment for Sami, who had endured countless setbacks in his pursuit of becoming WWE World Champion for the past ten years. Meanwhile, on X, a fan asked Matt Hardy about his thoughts on Sami Zayn becoming Undisputed WWE Champion.

Matt said that pro wrestling is at its best when it’s predictable while still making sense. He then gave Sami his flowers, noting that the Canadian has been “killing it” for the past few months and is worthy of a world championship run. He

“I dig it. Wrestling is best when it’s unpredictable but still makes sense in the big scheme of things. Sami has been killing it the last few months & def deserving of a championship run. Congrats, @SamiZayn!” he wrote.
