The post-match reaction to Sami Zayn losing the WWE Championship to CM Punk on RAW might've been some of the best character work I've ever seen from him.
It was raw. It was genuine. It was the emotion of someone who spent 24 years fighting to finally reach the top, only to have it all taken away just nine days later.
The irony is that CM Punk was in the exact same position Sami Zayn is in now 15 years ago. Now Punk is the one monopolizing the main event scene, while Sami is the one living with the scarcity, struggling to break through.
It's a compelling story, and it's exactly why I believe Sami Zayn is one of the most compelling characters in WWE today.
Let's see where it goes.
🚨 BREAKING: The Paris prosecutor's office has OFFICIALLY launched an investigation against Paraguayan senator Celeste Amarilla on charges of "public insult with a racist character" and "incitement to hatred", afrer her racist remarks against Kylian Mbappé.
These offenses carry a penalty of one year in PRISON and a 45,000 euro fine. @RMCSport
The racist, dehumanising remarks against @KMbappe by Paraguayan Sen. Celeste Amarilla are despicable, regrettably not isolated.
States & sports organisations must prevent acts of racism & discrimination, and ensure independent and effective accountability. Social media must also prevent and address racial discrimination on their platforms.

Madame Celeste Amarilla,
Vous êtes une femme méprisable et indigne de sa fonction.
Vous ne représentez pas le Paraguay, ce pays qui a transpiré la passion et l’honneur tout au long de la compétition. Par votre inconscience et votre racisme décomplexé, le monde entier a déjà oublié le parcours et l’effort historique que vos joueurs ont réalisés durant cette coupe du monde pour laisser place à une dame incompétente donnant la pire image possible de son pays.
Je ne laisserai jamais aux gens comme elle, la liberté de laisser propager leur haine et leur racisme à travers le monde.
Kylian Mbappé responds to racist remarks from Paraguayan senator Celeste Amarilla:
“You are a despicable woman and unworthy of your position.
You do not represent Paraguay, that country which has sweated passion and honor throughout the competition. Through your recklessness and your brazen racism, the entire world has already forgotten the journey and the historic effort that your players accomplished during this World Cup, making way for an incompetent woman who gives the worst possible image of her country.
I will never allow people like her the freedom to spread their hatred and racism across the world.”
From this point forward it is every fandom for themselves! Cause best believe my votes are going to Brinity. I don’t have time for the foolishness!! #loveislandusa
Ronaldo just faced Spain, meanwhile someone has faced Algeria, Cape Verde and soon Egypt. It's like bro is playing Afcon whilst everyone else is playing the World Cup
