Sami Zayn is looking forward to testing Johnny Knoxville’s limits.
In an interview with Alistair McGeorge of Metro.co.uk, Sami Zayn previewed his WrestleMania 38 match against Jackass star Johnny Knoxville. The ‘anything goes’ stipulation for their match adds an interesting dynamic and Zayn said it’s something he’s looking forward to himself.
“On the one hand, yeah, I get to test that pain threshold of his, which he’s famous for. But on the other hand, if it’s straight-up wrestling I don’t think anybody expects him to be able to hang with me,” he said of the dynamics as a performer. “But the fact that it’s anything goes might open the door to some of the stuff he’s good at, which is the gags and the pranks and the weapons and whatever else it is.”
Sami might not seem like he’s enjoying things on TV, but he said the past few months have been fun for him overall.
“I think this whole thing has been a lot of fun, certainly for me,” he admitted. “I hope it’s been fun for the audience as well, because we’ve gotten to build the match in some very unique and orthodox ways that you just don’t get to do with another WWE superstar. We’ve gotten to do some really outside the box, unconventional and fun things to build this match.”
