Sami Zayn commented on his match against Roman Reigns at WWE Elimination Chamber

Sami Zayn will have a chance to make history at Elimination Chamber as he takes on Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. The SmackDown star has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to do so in front of his home fans in Montreal, Canada.

Speaking about the bout ahead of WWE's upcoming Premium Live Event, Zayn insisted that he'll come out of the match as a star, no matter the result:

"It would be very hard to walk out of this match a loser, no matter what the result of the match is. If I win, forget about it. That place goes crazy and I'm launched into the next stratosphere. You're beating 'the guy.' Even if that's not the outcome, if it's some sort of draw, God knows what happens, even if I lose, whatever it is, I think the magnitude of the moment is going to be so huge and it's infectious."

He added:

"Anytime I've done anything in Montreal, the love that I've gotten in Montreal, it's contagious. When fans at home see that kind of response, it triggers something in them too." (H/T fightful)

Roman Reigns recently surpassed 900 days as the Universal Champion. He has also been the WWE Champion for nearly a year and has shown no signs of slowing down. However, there has been dissension within the Bloodline over the last few weeks, which could work in Sami Zayn's favor on Saturday.
