Last week, the main event of Friday Night SmackDown was the Undisputed Championship match between the champion CM Punk and Sami Zayn. The show took place in Mexico City. During the match, Kevin Owens interfered and attempted to attack Zayn. But the Underdog from the Underground dodged Owens, and as a result, CM Punk was taken out. Zayn then hit a low blow on the Prizefighter, pushed him out of the ring, and then hit the Helluva Kick on Punk and pinned him to pick up the win and become a two-time WWE Undisputed Champion.

Sami Zayn compares his two WWE Undisputed Championship victories

Both times that Sami Zayn won the championship were on international soil. His first title win was in Saudi Arabia, where he won a Triple Threat match against Cody Rhodes and Gunther. This time around, it was a one-on-one match against the Second City Saint.

While speaking on the Busted Open Radio podcast, Zayn talked about how both the championship wins felt and how they feel very different from each other.

“So the first one and the second one, even though they were so close together, felt really different. Because the first one’s like, ‘Wow, I can’t believe I did it. I just can’t believe it.’ But then it was also quite short-lived, as has been, you know, pretty widely discussed by now. It only lasted a very short time. It kind of felt like maybe it was a miracle, maybe it was a fluke, maybe it was this, but I got to say I did it. It’s really hard to get there. I mean, there’s probably less than 100 people in human history that have held that title. So now to be on that list, it was like, ‘Well, I did it. Wow.’ But now doing it the second time is like, ‘No, it’s no fluke.’ I feel like it cemented me in a way. Hopefully that makes sense, but totally different feeling. Equal amount of pride, but it kind of washes away that little part of like, ‘Well, I just got lucky.’ Because maybe that is in the back of your head. But now the second time around, it’s like, ‘Hmm, you don’t get lucky twice.’” said Sami Zayn. [H/T WrestlePurists]

It is to be noted that Zayn’s first WWE title run lasted only nine days.
