“So I don’t think the concept of involving a Gingerbread Man on its own is ridiculous because this is pro wrestling and we do all kinds of fun things that maybe if you were on the internet and you were scrolling Twitter or whatever, and you saw a clip of guys in a ring with a Gingerbread Man, you’d be like, ‘What?’ But in the world of wrestling, there’s context and it kind of makes sense. And sometimes, these things get really over, actually,” said Sami Zayn.

FULL SEGMENT: The Gingerbread Man rises from the grave to attack Sami Zayn: SmackDown, May 8, 2026

If one were scrolling on Twitter/X, a clip of Gingerbread Man in the ring would be weird. However, with proper context, it all makes sense, and even has the potential to get over with the crowd.

Sami Zayn spoke on the importance of live events in WWE

Sami Zayn is a connesiur of house shows (live events) in WWE. He spoke on the same podcast about how wrestling over and over again would just make them better. Not worrying about the TV constraints and locking horns in the most truthful form would be invaluable.

“I’m not gonna get into the business side of it as far as like, you know, is it worth it from a profitability standpoint? I don’t know, there’s people that, you know, we have a team for that. But strictly from an artistic performance side, I obviously, I’ve been doing this my whole life, almost now, 20-something years,” said Sami Zayn

The 41-year-old said he doesn’t want to speak on the business side of live events. Sami would not speak on the profitability angle, but from an artistic standpoint, it’s necessary. Zayn claims that he has been doing this for 20 years now and understands its significance.
