The Main Event: Sami’s career so far It’s been a long journey to Sami’s first world champion. We take a look back at how he got here, from his early days across the international wrestling scene to NXT to injuring himself before his match with John Cena started. The Three Count: Danielle put over Sami cruisin' with the title. Lindsey put over Gunther vs. Nick Aldis. Hal put over a gaming moment of zen.
