Sami Zayn reveals his emotions before facing Chad Gable on WWE RAW

This week on the Red brand show, Sami defended his IC title for the first time after ending Gunther's historic reign at WWE WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia.

Before the former Bloodline member went on to clash with the Master of Alpha Academy for the Intercontinental Championship, he shared being stressed out and feeling the pressure of performing in his hometown, Montreal. Sami Zayn said:

"But ultimately, I feel a lot of things. I feel stressed out. You know, there's a different kind of stress when you perform in front of your hometown. Especially this hometown, it's a special hometown. Really, there is no hometown that treats their guy or their guys quite like Montreal. I think the world has seen that by now. So it adds a different kind of stress, different set of nerves. Then there is also pride because I am coming back here as a champion. Which believe it or not, no Montrealer has done in something like 30 years. So I don't know man, it is just a big mixed bag of emotions."
