Sami Zayn Wishes Cody Rhodes Happy Birthday By Posing With WWE Title

Sami Zayn stepped up his troll game on Tuesday as he wished Cody Rhodes happy birthday while posing with the Undisputed WWE Title that he took from Rhodes. Today is Rhodes’ 41st birthday, and the third day since he lost the Undisputed WWE Championship to Zayn at Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia. Zayn posted to Twitter to send Rhodes birthday wishes, but also rub a little salt in the wound.

Zayn posted a photo that you can see below of himself at what looks like a café, smiling with the WWE Championship belt carefully posed next to him. He wrote simply:

“Happy birthday to my friend Cody Rhodes.”

Sami Zayn defeated Rhodes and Gunther in the main at WWE Night of Champions to win the title. He’s been celebrating ever since, including the video on Monday where he drove around to Smokey Robinson’s “Cruisin’” with the title belt on the passenger seat.
