WWE talked up this match as Sami’s tenth and possibly last shot at winning a world title in the company. Cody and GUNTHER both dismissed him as a serious threat to win the title in the buildup to this match, and they paid the price for underestimating him, especially in front of his Ride or Die fans in Saudi Arabia. Late in the bout, GUNTHER was on the verge of winning the match after powerbombing Rhodes through a table and putting him to sleep. However, Zayn was there to catch Cody’s arm on the drop when the referee checked it. Sami Zayn SAVES the match and Cody Rhodes in the process 🫢 pic
