by Gunther defended his IC Title against Sami Zayn at WWE WrestleMania 40. It was a hard fought match but eventually Sami Zayn defeated Gunther to become the new WWE IC Title.
Sami Zayn in WWE Digital Exclusive interview told that what it means for him to win the WWE Intercontinental Title. Zayn says he needed the IC title more than he can put into words.
“I had a really good year in a lot of ways last year, a lot of ways it was tough and people don’t know about. When you do something big, it’s hard to reconcile with what’s on the other side of that because you might have to come face to face with the fact that you might not be as big and good and the shadows are behind you can seem like they’re bigger than anything that’s ahead.”
“I needed this more than I can put into words. You talked about self-doubt, some of it was on television and a lot of it you don’t see. There’s just a lot and to end this historic Intercontinental Title reign. Hats off to GUNTHER, probably the most physical match I ever been in and I tapped into something I didn’t know I had in me. I’m just emotional right now.” (H/T: EWrestlingNews.com)
