Cornette detailed that Zayn looked like a lot of fans and that they could relate to him. He stated that The Underdog from the Underground's booking followed the old-school mentality where the WWE Universe felt like the babyface was one of them."Sami Zayn, he is working for me and works for it, he's over because he looks like sh*t but it works for him. He can talk, he can work and as a babyface, he's one of them. Look, everybody in the audience looks like sh*t too, right? And they think, 'Yeah, Sami's just like us.' It's like the old days where you wanted the people to feel that the babyface was just like you," Jim Cornette said.
