I watched this with my mom, who is not a wrestling fan at all, and did not realize how much she was being worked by Roman. Whenever he did anything heeling she was yelling at the TV. Yes, she knows it's all predetermined and stuff, but Roman got her to suspend her disbelief so easily. It was hilarious. Roman is that good!
Then at the end of it all, she said, "This corny shit is good!" She wanted to watch more. She wants "the drama" and so we watched some of Backlash until the Celtics/Heat game came on.
What a cool moment
Enjoy those moments, wish my mum liked wrestling.
@@KingSilly oh, my mom doesn't. Trust me.
That’s the whole point. When wrestling is at its best, it surpasses just being “wrestling” anymore, and it’s worth getting invested in. It’s almost like if someone isn’t into comic books or superhero movies, but if there is one really good character/movie/series that stands out, it will draw eyes from everyone. My girlfriend never watched wrestling before she met me and she’s obsessed with Roman and this storyline. Matches come and go but at least there is one story actually being well told in wrestling now a days, even if it means every other minute of the shows fall to the wayside.
You want a number for a psych ward
Sammi worked for a Syrian relief group and Syria and Saudi Arabia weren't having diplomatic relations so Sammi didn't think it would be the right thing to do to wrestle there but a few months back Syria and Saudi Arabia agreed to start diplomatic relations again so Sammi agreed to go
And I think KO stayed away to show unity with Sami
He's actually of Syrian decent and runs a Syrian relief group..but yes diplomatic relations have started again between the two countries
@@darrennicholson5151 Yeah from what I know Syria and Saudi Arabia weren’t technically at War but the Saudis did take Syria out the Arab league and funded rebels to overthrow the Syrian government
@@joeyskywalker1322 technically you breathe your own dog farts.
Thank you. I know Sami was Lebanese and he used to be not aloud in Saudi.
Jey’s reaction of “bro what did you do?” Was amazing. Jey vs Roman started this whole thing and he knows what happens when you get on Roman’s bad side. All that made it good. I was a little worried about the Bloodline story continuing but they have me hooked again.
So does Jimmy, people seem to forget Roman whooped his ass to make Jey say I Quit. He has as much reason to be pissed as Jey
@@mrperson2804 Paul Hayman is writing the hell out of this story, he keeps the drama going for as long as it's worth.
Romans reaction to the ref being laid out after he speared him fit his character so much lol. He looks at Paul, points to the ref and says "whats wrong with this guy" lmao absolutely perfect
I think that’s the same ref that bumped in Montreal lol and Roman loves to put his hand up as if he’s gonna backhand the poor guy 😆
Lmaooo facts that shit was funny
This was my favorite part of the whole thing.
I love how nonchalant Roman looks in this picture while taking two superkicks to the head.
Before I watch: Looks like Billy Graham hung in the garden. Assuming that's the reference there
Should have put explosive on those legs.
Roman gets stunned and doesn't bump too much.. you know... big man stuff! And boy was Jimmy nervous when he "betrayed" his tribal chief lol
Cuz he barely ever sells anything
@@AmericanWrathchild nice joke
Sami went because Saudi Arabia and Syria restored ties with each other. Sami is 2nd generation Syrian and a Muslim. Sami was free to go to Saudi Arabia anytime but he chose not to because Saudi-Syrian relations at the time.
Finally somebody tell the truth and not to mention the relationship between Saudi Arabia and Canada was pretty bad at one point but some like to spread lies and BS that he wasn't allowed when he actually wrestle there back in 2014
Well you kinda put it there in a nutshell, sami had no problems with Saudi Arabia or the people there, just a bunch of political issues between the two countries and now its all water under the bridge I guess
I read somewhere that due to the bad relations he could’ve been arrested for going there.
No, Sami was not free to go there, until the Arab Summit vote removed the ban on Syrian travel, it was NOT legal for him to go. That happened about a month ago. And the Arab Summit vote was in the face of American disagreement.
@@leeroggenburg1148 There would be zero issue for Sami, sami is...stay with me...CANADIAN.
He chose to stay away, nothing else.
The funniest part of the match to me was when, after a few weak chops to Roman's chest by Sami, Roman remarked, "Do you think you the "Nature Boy", or something?" 😂😂😂
His smack talk during the matches are just a chefs kiss. If people woulda said 5 years ago this guy would be one the of best on screen characters in all of wrestling i would have told them they're absolute morons drinking vinces kool-aid. But here we are.
@@ashtonhaggitt216
Paul Heyman has the Midas Touch
@@ashtonhaggitt216 You were an idiot then, because that's a year after he already got the smarks to boo him for 15 minutes without saying anything. And here we are.
@@christopheramaro333 I agree with that.
@@ashtonhaggitt216maybe Vince knows more than we give him credit for.
Jimmy screaming after the second kick too, after all this time of Roman abuse, great storytelling
Excellent
Jimmy is ungrateful usos constantly messing up and breaking character
@@pleaseshutup7053 cope
They on a losing streak embarrassing the family
Sami's entrance was so heartwarming! I'm so happy that he was able to go on his Mecca and enjoy his religious freedom. He really was a superhero Sunday night 💪
Mecca smecca
It was so great even Roman couldn't contain how happy he was for him.
@@howardmighty6764 you’re a miserable human
@@vetdad1807 it was a sarcastic smile In character…..
lol Saudi Arabia and 'religious freedom' are not words that should be spoken in the same sentence.
There were many references to Sami's turn as well. Jey's reaction and body language, Jimmy yelling "I'm your brother, not him", Jey being yet to pull the trigger himself. It's so intriguing.
It's great to hear Jim compare Zayn with El Generico.
Sami learned a lot from Generico! ;-)
“Sami sells like El Generico” 😂
The emotions that Jimmy showed during the moments after the 1st super kick was Oscar worthy.
That scream of Relief and Freedom was great after the second kick.
I hope Mr. Cornette isn’t reading this
Someone perfectly summed it up by saying that he looked like he ate Taco Bell and had regrets.
Like he's been holding it in since Roman knocked him off his tricycle when he was little.
Ok let’s not get crazy…
Paul is great, the little reaction’s he gives at Ringside are priceless
The bloodline consistently gives us great moments.. it’s going to be a shame when the story ends.
Yeah because wwe will go back to being mid
@@pleaseshutup7053 yup after the bloodline story ends am taking a break from WWE
I hope there's lots to go yet. SOLO vs Roman hasn't really started yet , other than stares
@@QAZ-OMEN - The seeds have been planted. Remember a few weeks ago when Roman was exiting the ring and he shoulder bumped into Solo and they just started at each other? Eventually Roman v Solo is gonna happen.
@@westnile21 I remember the bump and I can't wait for the RR vs SS part to kick off but I feel we are a ways off from that yet. Maybe not until after MANIA
“Zayn sells great he sells like El Generico. That’s the one thing I always liked about him.” 😂😂😂😂😂
Super funny that Corny taking the first minute to talk about Paul standing still lol.
Sometimes I wonder if they ever really liked or disliked one another. Good or Bad, Jim always had something to say about Paul Heyman. The jabs are funny though 😂
@@miaorange i doubt JCs animosity towards Heyman was a work, but he has no problem calling something good if he thinks its good regardless of who or where it comes from as long as it pertains to wrestling
@@miaorange well he constantly puts him over on the show. Saying he's was the best parts of the Uso/Zayne segments at times. I think on this one he was just getting silly
I think the “my checks get bigger” line implied that Roman brings more eyes to the program, and more eyes means more sales and more sales means higher stock, and higher stock means people get raises and bonuses… idk.. at least that’s my guess
It's a more than viable guess.
No they were already doing that without him. Nice try
It plays into Roman being a needle mover like he implied with the shirt
All I want in life is Jim's review of the exploding sneaker on AEW. 😂
Plumber got firekicked
missed this and don't know what it refers to but please tell me it involves Moxley botching in some embarrassing fashion🙏
@@pendafen7405 Cucamonga kid #0 super kicks someone kneeling on the mat and the sneaker explodes upon impact. And the super kick did not connect at all.
I say this as an AEW fan… the quality of Night of Champions and Double or Nothing this past weekend was night and day. Actually enjoyed watching the WWE show way more than the mediocre AEW show.
Surprisingly this wasn’t the most… “explosive” superkick of the weekend 😏
🤣🤣🤣
Jim's head is gonna explode when he reviews that one.
just when you think they cant do anything more stupid lol
Stupidest thing since the exploding ring so stupid
And for some reason, AEW fans are defending it
I usually agree with Jim, and maybe it's just because I'm so invested in the bloodline, but I really enjoyed the match portion, not just the angle afterward, Romans heel work in the match is always great
It was a great match, love the pace in Roman’s matches.
I think the moment just overshadowed the match. We "all" were wanting/waiting for the kick heard around the world
@@QAZ-OMEN The young bucks explosive kick? 🤣😂
@@SP2Crazy No. Jimmy's superkick was still more explosive than that ridiculous nonsense LOL. That will b forgotten after the next dynamite and this will b talked about for ages
Did you cry?
The Bloodline Story has been Cinema at it's best and so much better than the so called Apex Of Wrestling that the Plumber on the other side claims. I can't wait for Smackdown on Friday.
Nobody is gonna care about no other match on Smackdown. Just the Bloodline and what their next move will be.
@@miaorange there are 2 MITB Qualfying Matches on Friday so I think people will care about that too.
@@DXCenaWWE4life True! I completely forgot about that. I've been so caught up with the Bloodline and their drama, I forgot about MITB. Thank you for pointing that out to me. 😊
@@miaorange no worries
I liked the ending shot, Roman for once having to swallow an L and Sami standing over him with belts. The thing that wasn't as good, the cameras did not really rest on it. There were a lot of cuts to the Usos, back to Roman to Sami, back to Roman, back to the Usos and so on.
It was good to see Roman going through the stages of disbelief knowing he’d lost. The way he’s shaking his head with his eyes popped out like he refuses to belief that what just happened, happened and like a typical tyrant, is beside himself.
He took an L before from Seth Rollins
And Woods as well as KO and Cena
@@YousefTube no he did not
@@thomas3146 yes he did he got disqualified why do you think Rollins keep saying Roman never beat him
Anyone noticed that one side of arena for AEW PPV was almost empty 😅
Roman's smack talk during matches is briliant! 😂
His facial expressions are priceless too
HUGE pop when Jimmy hit those super kicks!
Jey's reaction to that too, he is the real M.V.P of this entire bloodline story
Im not gonna lie..it's beautiful work WWE is doing with this bloodline story..
Was overall a good live premium event it was weird watching it in the middle of the day though 😂
Right. I was like what the hell, this feels weird😂
Being a big time Roman and Uso's fan it killed me to see them turn ( or one of them ) on Roman lol. Also Heyman is entertaining with just his facial reactions alone. He is that good at what he does
I was out on Saturday running some errands… I caught the first match and came back just in time for this match. And I’m glad I did
Hate it or not this is the best story in wrestling the past 20 years
I watched this on a whim, but I was glad I did. I thought the whole thing was pretty great, and the ending was awesome. Jey Uso has become one of my favorites to watch.
It’s amazing how little Roman has to do to be as over as he is and to have great matches. Guy just oozes top guy from every pore.
Jimmy kicked the tattoo off of Roman 🤣
Roman's character work is phenomenal
"We the ones not him!" -Jimmy Uso
All it was missing was the “I’m sorry, I love you” HBK & Rick Flair style…
tbh, most all Saudis don't care about your religion backgrounds, Jews, Christians, Hindus, etc. the main issue with Sami was a problem with his place of origin, which is Syria, and back in 2011 a civil war broke out and all Arab nations placed a ban on Syria, which as we speak is being lifted and things are getting better, Sami Zayn as an individual was not a target from anyone as he is also Muslim and is not very politically outspoken.
Christianity is illegal in Saudi Arabia lol, don't kid yourself. As for ✡ well, that should be illegal everywhere tbh.
@@TheAnonymousIndividual weak bait
@@KlawMan27 Nothing I said was bait. Metzitzah B'peh, Simon of Trent, the Samson Option, the Lavon Affair, Germany Must Perish, the King David Hotel Bombing, the 5 Dancing Israelis, the USS Liberty, Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin, Leon Trotsky, Al Goldstein, Leo Frank, Magnus Hirschfeld, 'Lucky' Larry Silverstein, Ghislane Maxwell, Harvey Weinstein, Jeffrey Epstein, the Rothschilds, the Rockefellers, George Soros, and etc.
@@TheAnonymousIndividual Weak af. You gotta try harder
@@TheAnonymousIndividual bro, I'm saudi. How the fuck am I kidding myself ? No, it's not Illegal to be any religion apart from Muslim in Saudi Arabia, however the distribution of Religious items, or buildings of worship that aren't Mosques are banned, like if you were a Christian and a hotel staff checked your room and found a Bible they wouldn't call police on you.
I feel like Jey Uso is a Princess in a Disney movie. Surely the story ends when he becomes the tribal chief and they all live happily ever after 😂.
@11:22 Jet yelling Joe was the icing on that moment
Yeah, he yelled it twice from what I noticed. It was unusual for him to yell Roman's actual name seemingly having Jey break character.
Sami is of Syrian decent so he wasn’t allowed in the country. Now Saudi is cool with Syria so he could attend
Just the usual geopolitical issues in the Middle East.
@@chrissymc886 Nothing compared to the issues in America these days. Gross.
@Shannon Bayley typical attitude from Americans everything is worse for me boo hoo. Your problems are nowhere near the middle east be grateful
@@shannonbayley3684 I dunno about that.
Not true he declined to go
They didn't need exploding sparklers to the kick too.
I loved that they teased the inevitable double super kick on Roman by the Usos.
The best wrestling I have maybe ever watched. I replayed the final minutes of that match at least 25 times now, it was all THAT good
Oof
I love psychology based wrestling not Workrate based wrestling
1:28 He's not the wrong religion. Sami is of Syrian descent. Syria and Saudi Arabia are both Sunni Islam countries. He couldn't/wouldn't go over before due to the poor relations Syria and Saudi Arabia had. And Owens wouldn't go previously because Sami couldn't go
I’m glad Jim touched on this. I’m no longer a fan of tag team matches now bc most of the time the team member who is not in the ring is not on the apron watching the match. They’re hidden on the floor. Doing what?!?! It’s the dumbest thing to me, but is it a McMahon thing? I don’t think it is bc wrestling has NEVER done this before about a year ago.
I was watching and for a good while I was thinking where the fuck did Sami go .. where did Solo go ... these guys were out of sight for so long you could almost forget they were in the match.
@@toddtaylor6506 yes exactly! I oftentimes forget that there’s a tag match going on. It’s ridiculous.
I just stared when Jimmy did that to Roman I didn’t know what to think of the ending. Jimmy went ham on Roman did he just did that 😮
Here's the deal with Sami Zayn. He is of Syrian decent and Syria and Saudi Arabia are enemies. But recently, the two countries are in peace talks and this allowed Sami entry into Saudi Arabia.
On Sami's social media, he posted a picture of him in Mecca, visiting the holy shrine there. A very powerfully emotional picture!
the drama of jimmy kicking roman was pretty good. i thought solo, KO, and sami were outside the ring for waaaaay too long though. i'm glad i'm not the only one who noticed this
That crowd was eating up everything in & around this match. I don’t know what Jim was referring to, even when there were “lower” moments the crowd was making noise
They can't separate their reactions from the crowds
@@geteheh3h3636 more like they can't separate their personal feeling from the crowd
This "Tag Team member lies on floor for 10 minutes, then recovers just as his partner gets knocked to the floor" stuff has been going on for over 20 years. People like Edge&Christian and The Dudley Boyz pioneered it. Along with contrived spots, where you could see the reversal of the move coming over the horizon...
This was a great match and turn of events hands down. I POPPED!! 😂
The only storyline keeping wrestling alive
Roman definitely knew it was an accident on Solo. They literally pulled him off the table and jumped KO lol
And he even yelled at them for being out there, not for kicking Solo
The last part of the tag match my tv reception went out until just now I didn’t know how it ended. Thanks for the play by play guys
Jim and Brian are not informed about anything else outside wrestling. Sami is Syrian, and the tension between Syria and Saudi has abated a bit. He is of the same faith come on.
Brian’s Seinfeld “Salbass” reference is tremendous 🤣
The Uso's baby face turn is coming anytime now.... it's actually well overdue
Yeah.
Great match and Roman was amazing as always interacting with the crowd and getting all the heat to make the superkick payoff even more satisfying. At end of the day, keeping the belts on Roman was the best decision WWE made. The Bloodline remains the best story in wrestling today and, after one slow month where Roman wasn't around at all, it's right back to its best for MITB and then Summerslam.
I agree
Solo was the star destroying them
No you could've had the same effect if cody won
@@thedoctor3528 nah, Cody and Brock is a good secondary storyline.
I really enjoyed this. Both my family and myself. Jimmy was great here. That shout showed emotion. And Roman and Jey were great as always.
This is my only gripe with this story, it's the same few people doing the same kind of match over and over but every few months we just nudge the story forward an inch. This is the first time since Wrestlemania when something changed.
Not to mention every ref in a Reigns match is made out of paper mache
I remember being scared during the Backlash media scrum (or whatever PPV it was) where HHH blatantly said that after 3 years, we're still in the beginning of the Bloodline story. WHAT!? 😳😧
So clearly... They've confused "slowburn" with "far-too-long". Surely we should be near the great climax if all of this was done on purpose, shouldn't we?🤷🏾♂️
The modern wrestling fan in a nutshell. The internet has eviscerated your attention span.
@@deftfkaubgup4669 I mean this one was cool Spear to the ref cmon 😂
You guys would have hated The 4 Horsemen back in the 80s. The Bloodline is basically The Horsemen. The Horsemen had 1 big goal, that was to defend Flair's championshjp at any cost. Their main enemies were Dusty and Magnum, later Nikita. It went on for years...y'all would have complained for years.
I really want to hear jim comments on the crowd chanting La Knight at the start of night of champions media event
Saudi and Syria were actively fighting; Sami is Syrian and has family in Syria and was actively campaigning for Syria in the conflict…
4:55 what got me was sami sprinted back to the ring off the floor then crawled when he got into the ring
This is the greatest angle of all time. A+!!!!!
Calm down mark
@@McGomezAddams Name me 3 angles on this level. I'll wait
@@RIDGEMATIC The rise of Stone Cold Steve Austin, Daniel Bryan's YES movement, The Mega Powers explode.
@@McGomezAddams Mega powers qualifies. Bryan was forced by the fans, not an angle. Stone Cold wasn't really an angle to me more a happening McMahon ruined.
I was thinking HHH becoming the game for real by marrying Stephanie
I could probably think of three, but I’m old, lol. It’s really really good, though, so I get your enthusiasm!
Roman Reigns is an incredible heel. The difference he's made In his character is night and day between the 'Super' Roman they tried to relentlessly push after The Shield broke up. The only shame is that they didn't turn him heel sooner. Roman is the closest thing to a mega star that has come through WWE for along time. Full respect to the likes of Seth and AJ, we all love them and what they do, but Roman is on his own level right now.
Roman wanted to turn heel about 5 yrs ago because he saw how his character was getting stale as the ultimate white meat babyface. He said I'm already getting booed, so let's give the fans a real reason to be me. Also, growing up in the business, he saw how The Rock's heel turn elevated his character. Vince would not do it, as his vision was to push Roman as the next John Cena. When Covid hit and Roman did not wrestle because of his Leukemia and lower immune system. He and Paul Heyman came up with "The Tribal Chief" heel gimmick, pitched it to Vince and Vince said let's do it because it's to good not to do.
@@andyjackson304 the joke with "The next John Cena" of course is... that Cena began his RISE (not his career) as heel. Sure, Roman debut on RAW as heel, but only as the silent muscle of The Shield. He missed that "heel phase" that Cena had to show certain facettes.
I believe if Seth’s stable didn’t get ruined by call downs (Austin Theory back to nxt) or injuries (AOP joined and got injured) and the weird Mysterio thing that the Monday night messiah turning into a joker like delusional sociopath type leader vs the egotistical out of control tribal chief on opposite brands would have been money because Seth lost for a year straight and stayed super over, imagine a dominant run opposite Roman the mystique would have been perfect and I think that’s what they wanted to do smh
Man... Why isn't Cornette booking matches. I mean he knows exactly what to do every time. You know how everyone keeps talking about those legendary Midnight Express matches. Those were always flawless 🙄
I agree 💯
I started watching the wwe again just to know what matches Jim and Brian are reviewing.
That paycheck line threw me for a loop too. I was distracted from the match trying to imagine how the WWE pay scale works.
Don't invest in Roman's matches until the ref bump to be fresh for the finish!
I can’t believe Jim is calling this match a “play”..
What about the drivel from AEW like the BBC vs the Trash Elite on Double or Nothing with choreographed FAKE BS and a soundtrack
Such incredible story telling, pure cinema 👏😮
Roman was mainly reacting them to being there Period . Besides them kicking Solo. Roman didn’t want them there or involved at all .
Hopefully Brian watch the ILJA vs Dijak match at Battleground, and decided to watch the whole PLE, called, pestering Jim to watch, review the PLE before watching DoN
The dirt sheets completely made up the idea that Sami was “threatened” but the Saudis. Sami chose not to go for political reasons
Jey calling out to Roman while Jimmy pulled him away is more proof that this is cinema
Of course! 😊
Hey Jim, what do you think the story of the bloodline it’s going to be moving forward when rikishi says I’m going to make an offer that he can’t refuse and Jason Fatu posting a Bloodline photo of the USOs and Solo Sikoa do you think the bloodlines going to be separated leaving Roman reigns by himself with Paul Heyman
That's a good question. However, say hypothetically the Usos left Roman by himself, what would the future hold for him? Would he still be a heel, a baby face, still with or without Paul Heyman, or much less of him than we are now because of pursuing Hollywood or personal and family reasons? Just curious
Who does the artwork? It’s always awesome!
Travis Heckel is his name.
Roman sold the loss great
This was amazing, and so was the segment on SD leading up to Jimmy turning on Roman. Good stuff.
Sami wasnt allowed over because for years during the Syrian civil war, Saudi Arabia had kicked out Syria from the Arab League, but they’ve recently mended relations between the two countries. Sami is of Syrian descent. So the issue was one of politics and nationality, not religion
The story continues as it should and once again, the result from Mania continues to makes sense bcuz without that result, this storyline wouldn’t be as effective
This match was the culmination of the Sami/KO chapter of the Bloodline and the beginning of the Civil War chapter of the Bloodline
There was an issue between Syria and Saudi Arabia, there were eventual friendly talks that began communication to the event that it seems the issue may be smoother and that made Sami change his mind
That artwork. 😂🎉😂
Glad to see Kammy and Sevin retain their gold
The match was a real thriller
"Paul is almost as old as me." Now I'm confused every time when Jim uses "almost" in a normal way, and not for Omos.
Honestly Jim is just a troll and the names he made up are just annoying and stupid i might as well call him Jerk Fartnette along with his co-host LGBT
All I know is the ending of this match has me salivating for smackdown I need to hear how Roman handles this
Triple h is a god send...... Even Jim Cornett is enjoying wrestling again
This was a phenomenal match
Sami is a Syrian...he didn't want to go to Saudi Arabia before because there were issues between Syria and the Saudi's...relations have improved between the two countries, so he made the trip
I wonder if Jim has seen the tweets from Rikishi after this moment. It seems he may be coming back to get involved in The Bloodline storyline.
Could be involved at the 1000th day celebration this week.
Roman said on Smackdown that he wanted all his family invited to the 1000th celebration.
I hope so. It's always nice seeing Rikishi
@@QAZ-OMEN I would like to see him give Roman the stinkface for once
@@YousefTube if not Roman , Heyman LOL
The crowd has been conditioned to know the ending isn’t coming until the Usos show up. They could have the greatest match of all time and the crowd won’t buy any of it because they know what’s missing
Didn't the bloodline all have to share a plane back to the US or is it best not to think about that
Reigns gets his own plane
Best not to think that my friend
Yes they did😏
This match was great. So glad to hear that finally Jim praises Sami. Cause he is really good at what he does. The way Sami moved to evade The Usos kick was great. Just cause I wanted to see Solo get super kicked. Even my sister enjoyed this match. She isn't a person that watches wrestling. Now I can't wait for Jim to Review AEW's Double or Nothing.😂😂 Its gonna be great.
Joe Anoa'i can't sell to save his life
He sold those 2 superkicks perfectly, tf you talking about.
Are you joking
@@karandarade4654 he was practically on his knees when he got the first one
Hi Jim,
Just answering your question about Sami's appearance at Night of Champions this year & why he was not present at in past events that were previously held in Saudi Arabia.
Sami Zayn's omission from the previous Saudi Arabian events was not due to his religion but rather political (as Sami is of the islamic faith so are most of the Saudi Arabians). Sami is of Syrian descent & Saudi was in conflict Syria at the time of the previous Saudi hosted WWE events. However, Saudi & Syria have come to some sort of agreement which has seemingly eased the tensions between the two countries & therefore Sami has opted to go back there. He was not "fatwa'd" but rather the political tensions between Saudi Arabia & Syria was the determining factor in his absence from past events.
"Zayn sells like El Genérico"
Am I childish for laughing abou this?
They should have done this angle in the states.
Fartwa is sooo funny. LMAO!!! love Jim
The superkick is the new punch.
Sami didn't wrestle previously in Saudi Arabia because he's the son of Syrian immigrants, and Syria was excluded from being part of what was essentially the Middle East equivalent of the UN ( I can't remember its proper name right now).
However, Syria has since been accepted as part of that multinational organization, which has cooled tensions between it and Saudi Arabia, and thusly he was allowed to enter the country without fear of reprisal.
