Johnny Knoxville still hasn’t buried the hatchet with Sami Zayn.
Former WrestleMania performer Johnny Knoxville recently sat down with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated. When asked if he was proud of his run in WWE and what it was like to work with Sami Zayn, Knoxville said he still wanted to punch Zayn in his stupid face.
“You mean that lowdown-and-dirty Sami Zayn? I still want to punch him in his stupid face,” Johnny Knoxville said.
When asked if he was pleased with his match with Zayn at WrestleMania 38, Knoxville said he was thrilled with the match and believed they did something special.
“Aside from having to actually look at Sami’s big, dumb face, I was thrilled with the match,” Johnny Knoxville admitted. “Afterward, it felt like we did something special. To walk in backstage into [the] Gorilla [position, right behind the curtain], I think they call it, they stood up and clapped–and those guys and girls have seen it all.
“For them to clap, I took it as a big compliment. And I hate to say anything good about Sami Zayn, but he did an amazing job in that match–an amazing job losing, I should point out. And I was happy to have my guys there. Wee Man body slamming Sami was the highlight of the match and the whole night.”
