Sami Zayn Closes Montreal Event; WWE Officials Very High On Him

It may be indicate of how WWE officials feel about WWE NXT star Sami Zayn when it was seen how he was used to close last week's live event in Montreal, his hometown.

Earlier in the night, Zayn lost to WWE NXT Champion Adrian Neville but got a huge pop and "ole!" chants. Zayn was allowed to cut a promo about Montreal and while he lost the match, Neville was booed during the match's entirety. The biggest moment of the evening came when WWE had him run out following the main event. There was a big brawl where heels attacked babyfaces until Sami ran out and helped clear them of ring. The show ended with his theme song playing and the crowd chanting "ole!"

Sami closing an event in his hometown is seen as a big deal with WWE officials. The former El Generico reportedly has a big supporter in WWE Hall of Famer Pat Patterson.
