Sami Zayn was recently interviewed by The Sun after the WWE Fastlane PPV. During the interview he had some interesting comments about part-time talent taking the spots of the full-time wrestlers when it comes to Wrestlemania season.

A hot topics among wrestling fans is that some of the top talents in the company work their tails off all year only to get their spots taken at Wrestlemania by the part-time stars. The part-timers on the other hand have the name value and make sense to help sell the event.
Zayn gave his thoughts on the situation:
“Selfishly, of course part of me thinks, ‘Hey, get the hell out of here, this is our show, we work here every week’. It would be stupid to ignore that. I can say a lot about Kevin Owens, but I’ve also seen him busting his ass for the last eight months as Universal Champion, doing street fights on live events, going through tables every night, getting beaten up. So personal feelings aside you think, ‘Man that guys works hard all year he deserves to be rewarded when the time is right”

He continued:
“But at the same time, Brock Lesnar or Bill Goldberg coming in… the fans like it, it’s good for business, and if it’s good for business, it’s good for me in a roundabout way. Do I wish I was main eventing WrestleMania and not Bill Goldberg? Yes, absolutely. But you know, might it be better in some way to bring these guys in to help business. If it’s helping business, it’s helping me.”
Sami would also say that he would prefer to see a part-time talent getting paired up with a full-time wrestler at Wrestlemania.
