Sami #Sami
Roman Reigns beat Sami Zayn at WWE Elimination Chamber 2023 last night.
The match, given the incredible story that has been told between The Bloodline and Sami Zayn, was one of the most highly-anticipated title bouts in quite some time.
But it was Roman that picked up the win, despite many fans feeling as if Sami should have won, especially given the show was in his hometown of Montreal.

From watching the clip, it’s clear that the fans in Montreal thought the match was over once Roman hit the Spear, so seeing Sami kick out was huge for them.
Ultimately, Zayn didn’t win the match, but he stood tall to close out the show, laying out Reigns with some help from former friend and rival Kevin Owens.
During the match, Zayn accidentally hit Jey Uso with a Spear, which could give fans a good indication of the pair’s direction for WrestleMania 39.
