Sami Zayn Says His WrestleMania 38 Match Against Johnny Knoxville Is One Of His All Time Favorites

Sami Zayn is more than happy with how his WrestleMania 38 match turned out.

On Sunday, April 3, Sami Zayn and Johnny Knoxville brought their months-long feud to The Grandest Stage of Them All, facing off in an Anything Goes Match. The two men have been at odds since before the Royal Rumble, and over the course of this year, the Jackass star has had Zayn thrown out of his movie premiere, tasered him, cost him the Intercontinental Title, and shared his phone number with the public. 

At WrestleMania, Sami controlled the early portion of the match, but Knoxville was able to hang around long enough to start inflicting some pre-meditated punishment. Along with some of his co-stars, Knoxville burned Zayn with pyro, smacked him with a giant hand, kicked him in the groin with a robotic leg, and had him pinned in a giant mousetrap.

Despite losing the match, Zayn shared on Twitter that it is one of his all-time favorite matches and cherishes the fact that anyone who saw it will likely remember it. 

My Wrestlemania match against Johnny Knoxville is one of my all time favorites. Definitely one of the matches I’m most proud of.
I’ve had a lot of great matches in my career, I’d put this up with any of them.
Anyone who saw this match will remember it. That’s as good as it gets.
