Elimination Chamber 2023 in Montreal, Quebec was very special for Sami Zayn as he had a shot at the WWE World Championship at home. This week was also very special for Sami Zayn.
In fact, on December 28, 2023, WWE presented a live event in Laval, Quebec (view results here) and Sami Zayn had a very special moment. For the first time in his life, Sami had the chance to have his son at ringside, and for the first time ever he saw him wrestle.
During Elimination Chamber, only his wife was at ringside as his son was younger and he had to go to sleep before the main event, which took place much later than the live event in Laval. Here is the full statement from Sami Zayn in Laval on the significance of the evening:
“You know I've been coming to Montreal as part of the WWE for over ten years. And every time I came it was special. I always tell myself, “There’s no way the next time will be as special.” » And guess what, every time it’s even more special! And I've said it over and over again for ten years, and after the Elimination Chamber in Montreal and with your support from all of you, there is no greater moment than this. Once again I was wrong. Somehow this evening is even more special.
Kevin could have mentioned it, he has his wonderful family here who have supported him all these years. You see them every time we are in Montreal, you see my family here in the front row. But tonight it's even more special because you may already know, but I'm more of a private person and I keep things to myself. Some of you may not know this, but I have a little boy. And it's this cute boy in the red shirt. When I'm home I'm not a WWE superstar, I'm not Sami Zayn, I'm just meh. And this young man has never seen me wrestle, he doesn't know anything about what I do. “Tonight is the first time he’s seen me in this ring.”
