In a recent interview with Pat Laprade and Kevin Raphael as part of the Les Anti-Pods de la Lutte podcast, WWE SmackDown superstar Sami Zayn confirmed reports that he has signed a new contract with the WWE.

“Yes, it’s true. Honestly, I don’t know how people on the internet find this kind of information, but yes it’s true, I just signed for a few years and I’m really happy, my contract was almost over, they were interested in me staying and I wanted to stay, so it was no more complicated than that.

It’s not the first time I’ve said it, but I’m really happy with my role with the company in recent years, especially the last year to year and a half, I’m doing the best job of my career, especially in terms of my character. I don’t know hy people were really surprised, they have an idea in their heads that everyone in WWE is unhappy being there, unhappy with their role, that they want more or feel oppressed or I don’t know what. For me, I am really happy with my role and I can’t wait to see what I’m going to be able to do in the next few years.”
