Danhausen wrote<\/a>: \u201cSamuel Zaynhausen did it\u201d<\/p>\n

Triple H wrote<\/a>: \u201cFrom underdog to undisputed. Congrats to the NEW @WWE<\/a> Undisputed Champion @SamiZayn<\/a>! Never say never.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nattie wrote<\/a>: \u201cThe impossible is possible. @SamiZayn<\/a> reminded the world that it\u2019s never too late to chase the dreams people told you were out of reach. He asked, \u201cWhy not me?\u201d So\u2026why not you? Why not now? More inspired than ever. Congrats, Sami. You deserve it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Matthew Rehwoldt wrote<\/a>: \u201cUnderdog from the underground\u2026now on top of the world. Congrats champ \u2764\ufe0f Sami Zayn Forever\u201d<\/p>\n

The Miz wrote<\/a>: \u201cWe\u2019ve got another Grand Slam Champion. Congrats and welcome to the club. Well deserved.\u201d<\/p>\n

As previously covered<\/a>, Kevin Owens wrote<\/a>: \u201cI\u2019ve missed a lot of things I wish I hadn\u2019t in the last 15 months because of this injury but today is, by far, the one I wish I had been there for the most. He has brought out the best in me as both an ally and a foe. That\u2019s because he is THE best. When you\u2019re consistently that good for that long, you become undeniable. Sami becoming WWE Champion was inevitable. He has deserved that moment for a very long time and I am so happy to see him finally get it. Now enjoy these pictures of me annoying him at various stages of our careers. The last one is him putting on my sock in a hotel room in the middle of nowhere in Texas because I thought I had broken my back the night before and could not move. He had to help me put on my boxers too. Look how happy he is\u2026 Now tell me he doesn\u2019t deserve to be champion!\u201d<\/p>\n

Matt Hardy wrote<\/a>: \u201cI dig it. Wrestling is best when it\u2019s unpredictable but still makes sense in the big scheme of things. Sami has been killing it the last few months & def deserving of a championship run. Congrats\u201d<\/p>\n
