Sami Zayn is getting another chance to win a WWE<\/a> championship when he steps into the ring on Saturday against Cody Rhodes and Gunther at Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

Rhodes booked the match<\/a> between the two top wrestlers on “Friday Night SmackDown” after Zayn\u2019s officiating as a special guest referee came under fire. He quick-counted for Rhodes after his fight with Gunther exploded in the ring. After Rhodes demanded that SmackDown GM Nick Aldis restart the match with a new referee, Gunther attacked Zayn. Then, Zayn returned the favor. The match was booked and Zayn has one of his biggest challenges yet.<\/p>\n

However, Zayn was in high spirits when he spoke to Fox News Digital before the event.<\/p>\n

“Good,” he said when asked how he was feeling. “Look, anytime you are main-eventing a big PLE, the fact that Saudi Arabia is always a little special for me just being from this part of the world, obviously. And the fact that you\u2019re main-eventing for a WWE championship.<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t think there\u2019s a better spot to be in, except being the champion, which is the goal here. But besides from being the champion, it\u2019s the best spot you can kind of ask for. I really can\u2019t complain.”<\/p>\n

Zayn was born in Canada<\/a> after his parents came to the country from Syria. If he wins the title, he would be the first WWE world champion of Syrian descent.<\/p>\n

He said winning the title in Riyadh would be a big moment for him.<\/p>\n

“I think it\u2019s kinda one of those things that would kinda be hard to process. I truly don\u2019t know. I don\u2019t know how the fans would react,” he said. “I hope they would enjoy it but you never know because my character right now<\/a> is a little polarizing \u2013 I truly don\u2019t know. But I don\u2019t know. I think there\u2019s a lot of like cultural and historical kind of significance that would kinda maybe hit me after the fact.<\/p>\n

“From a sentimental point of view, for sure, I think it would be kind of awesome. I think it would be a big cultural moment, actually. I don\u2019t think about it. I kind of dismiss it a lot at this point because we come to Saudi a lot. A lot has been made of the fact that I\u2019m Arab or I\u2019m Muslim or whatever. But growing up, that was not the case. It was not like this was a common thing or something that you could ever even dream. I couldn\u2019t have dreamt that this would happen. So, yeah, that would be a pretty big deal I think.”<\/p>\n

A potential Zayn win lines up perfectly with a Jey Uso King of the Ring win. Uso would be able to choose to take on Zayn, hypothetically, or world heavyweight champion Roman Reigns.<\/p>\n

When talking to Fox News Digital about the possibility of him going up against Uso for the title, Zayn looked intrigued given the history he has with The Bloodline.<\/p>\n

“I thought about it a little bit but I really try to focus on one thing at a time. But I do think because of the fact that The Bloodline is reunited on \u2018Raw\u2019 with a slightly different skew now because Jacob adds a slightly different dimension but it begs the kind of question, the elephant in the room, which is, \u2018Where does Sami Uso lie in all that?\u2019 Because we\u2019re on separate shows, I don\u2019t know if and when that situation, that question, manifests itself on our television show,” he said.<\/p>\n

“I think one way or another it\u2019d be interesting and that would be a really interesting thing. I think it would be very, very interesting actually. But we just gotta see where the chips fall. But I do think, if a scenario like that comes to be, I think it would lead to some interesting week-to-week programming where you kinda gotta see how this unfolds.”<\/p>\n

Night of Champions will take place Saturday at 1 p.m. ET. The event can be seen on ESPN.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
