Knoxville expresses that he’s still not fond of Sami.
Night two of WrestleMania 38 in 2022 featured an Anything Goes match between Sami Zayn and actor, producer and screenwriter Johnny Knoxville.
Knoxville emerged victorious and a full two years later, he has yet to speak positively of Zayn. Knoxville was interviewed by Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated and as he was speaking about working with Zayn, he shared that after their match, they got a standing ovation in Gorilla Position.
You mean that lowdown and dirty Sami Zayn? I still want to punch him in his stupid face.
Aside from having to actually look at Sami’s big, dumb face, I was thrilled with the match (at WrestleMania 38). Afterward, it felt like we did something special. To walk in backstage into (the) Gorilla (Position), I think they call it, they stood up and clapped and those guys and girls have seen it all. For them to clap, I took it as a big compliment. And I hate to say anything good about Sami Zayn, but he did an amazing job in that match, an amazing job losing, I should point out.
And I was happy to have my guys there. Wee Man body slamming Sami was the highlight of the match and the whole night.
Zayn and Kevin Owens headlined WrestleMania 39 and defeated The Usos (Jimmy Uso & Jey Uso) to become Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions.
As Zayn and Owens were celebrating, Knoxville was in the crowd yelling about Zayn winning.
