The Bloodline's attack on Sami Zayn was "criminal", says WWE Hall of Famer

WWE Hall of Famer Booker T recently commented on The Bloodline's brutal attack on Sami Zayn at Royal Rumble, describing it as "criminal."

Last Saturday, Roman Reigns successfully defended his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Kevin Owens at the Royal Rumble Premium Live Event. After the match, The Bloodline attacked Owens.

However, Zayn refused to join the slaughter of KO. Instead, he turned on Reigns and hit him with a chair. While Jimmy Uso, Solo Sikoa, and Reigns brutally beat down the former Honorary Uce, Jey Uso left the ring.

During the latest episode of his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T described The Bloodline's attack on Zayn at Royal Rumble as "criminal."

"The beat down that they gave Sami Zayn, that was like, 'somebody call the police.' It was criminal. Me as an adult, I can get off into that all day long. And it wasn't a bunch of blood. It wasn't a bunch of that. It just beat the hell out of him. You know what I mean. So, that right there for me is what I mean... Man, this is wrestling again. I'm getting that feeling again to where me as an adult can get off into it," he said. [1:13:06 - 1:13:37]
