    Rami Sebei (Arabic: رامي سباعي; born July 12, 1984) is a Canadian professional wrestler. He is signed to WWE, where he performs on the Raw brand under the ring name Sami Zayn.

    Sebei made his professional wrestling debut in 2002 under the ring name Stevie McFly. Prior to joining WWE, he competed for Montreal-based promotion International Wrestling Syndicate (IWS), where he became a two-time IWS World Heavyweight Champion, and would achieve breakout success in the United States with Los Angeles-based promotion Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG) and then-Philadelphia-based promotion Ring of Honor (ROH), all under the ring name El Generico, using the character of a luchador from Mexico with the catchphrase "Olé!".[7] He wrestled while masked from 2002 until 2013. During his time in PWG, Sebei became a two-time PWG World Champion and five-time PWG World Tag Team Champion. He is the only person to have won both of PWG's annual tournaments, the Dynamite Duumvirate Tag Team Title Tournament in 2010 and the Battle of Los Angeles in 2011. In ROH, he held the ROH World Television Championship and the ROH World Tag Team Championship as part of a team with Kevin Steen, with whom he later earned the 2010 Feud of the Year award from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. He has also performed in Chikara and Evolve. Having wrestled internationally, Sebei competed for Westside Xtreme Wrestling (wXw) in Germany, where he won the wXw Unified World Wrestling Championship, and also competed in Japan for DDT Pro-Wrestling and Dragon Gate (as well as its American branch), having won the KO-D Openweight Championship in the former promotion.

    Upon signing with WWE in 2013 and taking on the ring name Sami Zayn, he began wrestling without a mask in WWE's developmental brand NXT, eventually winning the NXT Championship. After being promoted to the main roster, he would become a four-time Intercontinental Champion. Starting in 2022, his popularity with fans would begin to skyrocket thanks to his critically acclaimed work with The Bloodline faction.[8] In addition to his other WWE accomplishments, Sebei also wrestled in the main event of several pay-per-view events, including WrestleMania 39, where he became one half of the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions (the Raw and SmackDown Tag Team Championships) alongside longtime best friend Kevin Owens.

    Early life

    Rami Sebei[9] was born in Laval, Quebec, Canada,[6][10] to Syrian migrants who relocated from Homs to Laval in the 1970s.[11]

    Professional wrestling career

    Debut and International Wrestling Syndicate (2002–2009)

    Sebei made his professional wrestling debut on March 1, 2002, for the FLQ promotion in Quebec as Stevie McFly.[12][13][14] On July 14, 2002, as El Generico, he made his International Wrestling Syndicate (IWS) debut at Scarred For Life in a count out victory.[15] On October 18, 2003, at Blood, Sweat and Beers, Generico lost to Carl Ouellet in a three-way match also involving Kevin Steen. On November 15, at Payback's A Bitch, El Generico defeated Kevin Steen in their first-ever singles match against each other.[16][17]

    IWS held its fifth-anniversary show "V" on June 15, 2004, at Le SPAG, where Generico defeated PCO to win his first IWS World Heavyweight Championship, only to have Steen cash in his number one contendership (won earlier in the night against Excess 69) and defeat Generico for the title.

    On September 11 at CZW High Stakes II, Generico, Steen and Excess 69 lost to SeXXXy Eddy in an IWS four-way match which was unofficially chosen as "CZW Match of the Year".[18][19] On August 20, 2005, at Extreme Dream II, Generico lost to Chris Bishop in the Extreme Dream Tournament final match for the IWS Canadian Championship. On February 16, 2008, Generico defeated Kevin Steen for the IWS World Heavyweight Championship at Violent Valentine. On March 22, at Know Your Enemies, Generico lost the IWS World Heavyweight Championship to Steen a three-way match also involving Max Boyer.

    Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (2004–2013)

    In 2004, members of the IWS started making appearances in the popular independent company Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG). El Generico held the PWG World Tag Team Championship five times with four different partners: with Human Tornado as 2 Skinny Black Guys, Quicksilver as Cape Fear, Kevin Steen, and Paul London as ¡Peligro Abejas!. Generico is also the only participant to consecutively appear in the first eight Battle of Los Angeles tournaments from 2005. On February 24, 2007, Generico defeated former partner Tornado to win the PWG World Championship during his title run with Cape Fear. Later that year, while Generico was still World Champion, he and Steen defeated PAC and Roderick Strong for the belts, making Generico the only man in PWG history to hold both the World and World Tag Team titles not once, but twice at the same time.

    In mid-2009, Generico entered a lengthy feud with the tag team Men of Low Moral Fiber, consisting of Kenny Omega and Chuck Taylor, recruiting Colt Cabana, referee Rick Knox, and former partner Human Tornado (effectively reuniting 2 Skinny Black Guys) to stand by his side. At PWG's sixth anniversary event, Threemendous II, 2 Skinny Black Guys defeated current champions The Young Bucks in a non-title match, giving the Bucks their first tag team loss in almost a year and a half. On November 21 during the second night of the 2009 Battle of Los Angeles, Generico and Kevin Steen lost a title match against the Bucks.[20] Later, he and Cabana saved the new PWG World Champion Kenny Omega from Brian Kendrick and the Bucks and made peace with him as they now had a common enemy.[21]

    On May 9, 2010, Generico teamed up with "Intrepid Traveler" Paul London to form a duo introduced as ¡Peligro Abejas! (translated as Danger Bees!) in the fourth annual Dynamite Duumvirate Tag Team Title Tournament eight-team tag tournament. After defeating Chuck Taylor and Scott Lost in the first round and the Briscoe Brothers (Jay and Mark) in the semifinals, Generico and London defeated the Young Bucks in the finals of the tournament to not only win DDT4, but also the PWG World Tag Team Championship, Generico's fifth time holding the title.[22] On December 11, 2010, El Generico earned himself a shot at the PWG World Championship, when ¡Peligro Abejas! successfully defended the PWG World Tag Team Championship against Chris Hero and the PWG World Champion, Claudio Castagnoli, the team known collectively as The Kings of Wrestling.[23] Generico received his shot at the PWG World Championship on January 29, 2011, during the WrestleReunion 5 weekend, but was defeated by Castagnoli.[24] On April 9, El Generico teamed with Ricochet, who filled in for London who was unable to appear at the event, in a match, where they lost the PWG World Tag Team Championship back to The Young Bucks.[25][26] On August 20, Generico entered the 2011 Battle of Los Angeles, defeating Claudio Castagnoli and Willie Mack in his first round and semifinal matches. Later that same night, Generico defeated old rival Kevin Steen in the finals to win the tournament, becoming the first person to have won the PWG World and World Tag Team championships as well as the DDT4 and Battle of Los Angeles tournaments. In the process, Generico also earned himself a match for Steen's PWG World Championship.[27] On October 22, El Generico defeated Steen in a ladder match, following outside interference from The Young Bucks, to win the PWG World Championship for the second time.[28] On March 17, 2012, El Generico re-lost the title to Steen in a three-way match, which also included Eddie Edwards.[29] After agreeing to a deal with WWE, El Generico made his farewell appearance for PWG on January 12, 2013, when he and Kevin Steen entered the 2013 Dynamite Duumvirate Tag Team Title Tournament. After wins over the Briscoe Brothers and Future Shock (Adam Cole and Kyle O'Reilly), El Generico and Steen were defeated in the finals of the tournament by The Young Bucks.[30]

    Chikara (2005–2012)

    On February 19, 2005, El Generico made his debut for Philadelphia, Pennsylvania–based promotion Chikara, taking part in the 2005 Tag World Grand Prix, where he teamed with Kevin Steen as Team IWS. The team made it to the quarterfinals of the tournament, before being defeated by the SuperFriends (Chris Hero and Mike Quackenbush).[31]

    El Generico returned to Chikara three years later to take part in the 2008 King of Trios, where he teamed with Player Uno and Stupefied, again, as Team IWS. After defeating the F1rst Family (Arik Cannon, Darin Corbin and Ryan Cruz) in their first round match on March 1, Team IWS was eliminated from the tournament later that same day by Los Luchadores de Mexico (Incognito, Lince Dorado and El Pantera), who went on to win the entire tournament.[32] The following year, on March 27, El Generico returned for the 2009 King of Trios, this time teaming with Matt and Nick Jackson as Team PWG. They were eliminated from the tournament in the first round by The Osirian Portal (Amasis, Escorpion Egipcio and Ophidian).[33] The following day El Generico entered the Rey de Voladores tournament, but was defeated by Kota Ibushi in his four-way elimination semifinal match, which also included Jigsaw and Nick Jackson.[34] On the third night of the tournament, El Generico was defeated by Arik Cannon in a singles match.[35]

    El Generico's next appearance for Chikara occurred almost two years later on January 23, 2011, when he faced Eddie Kingston in a losing effort.[36] For the 2011 King of Trios El Generico came together with 3.0 (Scott Parker and Shane Matthews) to form ¡3.0le!. The team was eliminated from the tournament in the first round by The Osirian Portal (Amasis, Hieracon and Ophidian).[36][37] The following day El Generico entered his second Rey de Voladores and defeated Pinkie Sanchez, Zack Sabre Jr. and Marshe Rockett in his four-way elimination semifinal match to qualify for the following day's finals.[36][38] The following day El Generico defeated the 1–2–3 Kid in the finals to win the 2011 Rey de Voladores.[36][39] El Generico returned to Chikara on July 30, 2011, when he reunited ¡3.0le! with Scott Parker and Shane Matthews in a six-man tag team match, where they defeated F.I.S.T. (Chuck Taylor, Icarus and Johnny Gargano).[36][40] The following day ¡3.0le! was defeated by the Spectral Envoy (Frightmare, Hallowicked and UltraMantis Black) in a six-man tag team match.[36][40]

    Ring of Honor (2005–2012)

    El Generico first wrestled for Ring of Honor (ROH) in 2005, earning a spot in a Four Corner Survival match at Do Or Die IV. He teamed with the Ring Crew Express (Dunn and Marcos) in the Trios Tournament 2005, losing to the Rottweilers. At Stalemate, he lost to Roderick Strong, then teaming with Sal Rinauro against The Embassy at New Frontiers (and losing). He only received a few more matches, losing to Austin Aries at Fate of an Angel and getting his first win against fellow IWS alumnus Kevin Steen at The Homecoming (a match that didn't even make it to the event's DVD). His final ROH match of this run was a loss to Homicide at Dragon Gate Invasion.

    Generico returned to ROH in late 2006, making an appearance at Dethroned, where he was defeated by Brent Albright. Following this, he took part in (and lost) a Four Corner Survival match to Jimmy Rave at Final Battle 2006. In 2007, El Generico formed a permanent team with Kevin Steen, taking on the Briscoe Brothers at the Fifth Year Festival: Philly. Much like many previous matches, they were defeated in this encounter, but the two men had a memorable showing that eventually earned them a full-time spot on the roster. Throughout 2007, the two teams feuded with one another, having several memorable matches including (but not limited to) a great match on the Driven pay-per-view, ROH's second-ever. Their feud came to an end following a brutal Street Fight at Death Before Dishonor V: Night 1, a steel cage match at Caged Rage, a two out of three falls match at Manhattan Mayhem 2 and a ladder match advertised as a "Ladder War" at Man Up. This final match became the Main Event of ROH's third pay-per-view.

    Generico in 2008

    Also during this time, Generico broke out as a singles competitor, having a strong run in the Race to the Top Tournament of 2007. He defeated (in order) Delirious, Chris Hero and Davey Richards, only to lose in the final match of the tournament to Claudio Castagnoli. After the feud with the Briscoes ended, Generico and Steen spent several months feuding with the Hangmen Three in an inconclusive feud that carried on into 2008. They also worked through the tag ranks and attempted to win the tag titles, but came up short in a tag title tournament at Up For Grabs. Generico took ROH World champion Nigel McGuinness to the limit at Age of Insanity, but eventually lost.

    On September 19, 2008, Generico and Steen finally won the ROH World Tag Team Championship by beating The Age of the Fall at Driven.[41] Generico lost a second match to McGuinness at Glory by Honor VII. Generico was booked in another match against McGuinness at Caged Collision, which he lost. On April 10, 2009, at a television taping, Generico and Steen lost the ROH World Tag Team Championship to The American Wolves (Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards).[41] Generico then suffered a knee injury, sustaining damage to his Medial collateral ligament.[citation needed]

    On December 19, 2009, at Final Battle 2009, ROH's first live pay-per-view, after a loss to The Young Bucks, Steen turned heel by attacking El Generico.[42] He then formed a team with Colt Cabana and together the two of them started a feud with Steen and his new partner Steve Corino. At the following pay-per-view, The Big Bang!, Generico and Cabana defeated Steen and Corino via disqualification when Steen used a chair on his former partner.[43] On June 19 at Death Before Dishonor VIII, Steen defeated El Generico in a singles match.[44] On September 11 at Glory By Honor IX Generico and Cabana defeated Steen and Corino in a Double Chain match, when Cabana forced Corino to tap out. After the match Steen attacked El Generico and unmasked him.[45] On December 18 at Final Battle 2010 El Generico and Steen ended their year-long feud in an unsanctioned Fight Without Honor, where Generico put his mask on the line against Steen's ROH career. In the weeks leading up to the event, Generico debuted a new darker character and an all-black outfit.[46] In the end El Generico won the match and thus forced Steen out of Ring of Honor.[47] On March 2, 2011, ROH announced that El Generico had signed a new contract with the promotion.[48]

    Generico and Kevin Steen feuded for two years in Ring of Honor

    On April 1 at the first night of Honor Takes Center Stage, El Generico was defeated by Michael Elgin from the House of Truth following interference from a masked man, led by Truth Martini.[49] The following day, El Generico defeated another member of the House of Truth, Roderick Strong, but after the match was attacked by Elgin and Martini. Colt Cabana came out to make the save but was stopped by the House of Truth's advantage in numbers. This led to Christopher Daniels coming out, but he ended up turning heel and hitting El Generico with the Book of Truth and Cabana with the Angel's Wings, thus joining the House of Truth and revealing himself as the man who had cost El Generico his match against Elgin.[50] On June 26 at Best in the World 2011, Generico defeated Daniels to win the ROH World Television Championship.[51] He lost the title to Jay Lethal on August 13 at the first Ring of Honor Wrestling tapings under the Sinclair Broadcast Group banner.[52] On March 30, 2012, at Showdown in the Sun, El Generico faced the reinstated Kevin Steen in a losing effort in a Last Man Standing match and then disappeared from ROH.[53] After Steen successfully defended the ROH World Championship on October 13 at Glory By Honor XI: The Unbreakable Hope, he received a parcel containing Generico's mask.[54] El Generico returned to ROH on December 16 at Final Battle 2012: Doomsday, where he unsuccessfully challenged Steen for the ROH World Championship in a ladder war.[55] This was his last appearance with ROH before signing with WWE.

    Dragon Gate (2007–2009)

    Generico travelled to Japan during the summer of 2007, where he worked for the Dragon Gate (DG) promotion as the gaijin (foreign) representative of the New Hazard stable.[56][57] He returned to the promotion in July 2008, where he was announced as Tozawa-juku's "foreign exchange student."[58] El Generico made his third tour of Dragon Gate in October 2009, when he wrestled as a member of the Kamikaze stable.[59]

    DDT Pro-Wrestling (2011–2012)

    In early 2011, El Generico began making semi-regular appearances for the Japanese DDT Pro-Wrestling sister-promotion Union Pro Wrestling, making his debut on January 3 with a win over Shinichiro Tominaga.[60] On September 19, El Generico won his first title in Japan, when he defeated Isami Kodaka for the DDT Extreme Championship.[61] After successful title defenses against Shuji Ishikawa and Sanshiro Takagi,[62][63] he lost the title back to Kodaka on January 3, 2012.[64]

    On March 31, 2012, El Generico made his debut for Dragon Gate USA (DGUSA), when he defeated Chuck Taylor, Cima, Lince Dorado, Rich Swann and Samuray del Sol in a six-way match.[72] On April 13, El Generico made his debut for Evolve, a promotion closely affiliated with DGUSA, losing to Low Ki.[73] After another loss to Ricochet on May 11,[74] El Generico achieved his first victory in the promotion on May 12, defeating Sami Callihan.[75] El Generico defeated Samuray del Sol at Evolve 14 on June 28 and lost a rematch the following day at Evolve 15.[76][77] El Generico returned to Dragon Gate USA on July 28, when he and Samuray were defeated in a tag team match by A. R. Fox and Cima.[78] On September 8, El Generico and Samuray del Sol faced off in another Evolve main event, which Generico won.[79] On November 4, at Dragon Gate USA's Freedom Fight 2012, Generico and Samuray defeated Genki Horiguchi and Ryo Saito.[80] The two continued their winning ways on December 8, at Evolve 18, where they defeated the Super Smash Bros. (Player Uno and Stupefied).[81]

    Other promotions (2005–2013)

    From 2005 onwards, El Generico has made several appearances for the German Westside Xtreme Wrestling (wXw) promotion.[82] On March 4, 2012, El Generico defeated Tommy End to win wXw's 2012 16 Carat Gold Tournament.[83] On May 19, El Generico defeated Big van Walter to win the wXw Unified World Wrestling Championship,[84] which he held until August 12, when he lost to Axel Tischer in a four-way match also involving Bad Bones and Karsten Beck.[85] In October 2009, El Generico traveled to Poland to take part in Do or Die Wrestling's event in Warsaw, defeating Michael Kovac in the main event.[86] In May 2010, Generico competed in the main-event of Capital City Championship Combat's show, Stand Alone.

    WWE

    NXT Champion (2013–2015)

    Zayn in March 2015

    In January 2013, Sebei signed with WWE[9][95][96] after passing all medical tests.[97] On February 13, Sebei made his debut for WWE's developmental territory NXT, but did not wrestle.[98] Sebei's NXT in-ring debut took place at a live event on March 7 in Tampa, Florida, wrestling a tag team match unmasked under his real name.[99] He eventually settled on the ring name Sami Zayn.[100]

    Zayn made his televised debut on the May 22 episode of NXT, first defeating Curt Hawkins in the opening match and then challenging and scoring an upset win over Antonio Cesaro later in the show.[101] The following week, he took part in an 18-man battle royal to determine the number one contender to the NXT Championship, but was eliminated by Mason Ryan.[102] On the June 12 episode of NXT, Zayn suffered his first pinfall loss in NXT in a rematch with Cesaro.[103] On the July 31 episode of NXT, Zayn teamed with NXT Champion Bo Dallas against Cesaro and Leo Kruger; after Cesaro and Zayn brawled to the back, Dallas lost the match and blamed Zayn for the loss.[104][105] On the August 21 episode of NXT, Zayn lost to Cesaro in a two-out-of-three falls match to conclude the feud.[106] On September 6, Zayn made his WWE debut at a house show in his hometown of Montreal, defeating Cesaro.[107]

    When Zayn targeted Dallas' NXT Championship, Dallas cost Zayn his match against Cesaro's fellow Real American Jack Swagger.[108] Dallas held an open challenge to determine the next title contender, but banned Zayn from competing.[109] However, Zayn masqueraded as the masked El Local, defeating Dallas to earn his title shot on the October 16 episode of NXT.[110] NXT General Manager John Bradshaw Layfield restarted the match when Zayn won despite Dallas' foot being on the ropes, after which he sent Zayn into an exposed turnbuckle to retain the title.[111] In November 2013, after tying a Beat the Clock challenge with Adrian Neville by defeating Kruger,[112] Zayn lost a number one contender's match to Neville on the November 27 episode of NXT.[113] On the January 1, 2014 episode of NXT, Zayn defeated Kruger in a two-out-of-three falls match.[114] After this, Zayn's obsession with his loss to Cesaro the previous year led to him challenging Cesaro to a rematch at NXT Arrival on February 27,[115] which he lost, but Cesaro showed respect to Zayn after the match.[116] On the May 8 episode of NXT, Zayn participated in a 20-man battle royal for an NXT Championship shot, with Zayn being involved in a triple threat match tie.[117] As a result, Zayn faced the other two winners, Tyler Breeze and Tyson Kidd in a triple threat match on the next episode of NXT, where Kidd won to become number one contender.[118] At NXT TakeOver on May 29, Zayn lost to Breeze in another number one contender's match.[119]

    In June, Zayn began feuding with Kidd, who abandoned him during a match against NXT Tag Team Champions The Ascension.[120] After Zayn defeated Justin Gabriel,[121] both Kidd and Gabriel attacked Zayn, who was saved by his friend, NXT Champion Adrian Neville.[122] Zayn defeated Kidd on the July 17 episode of NXT[123] and in a first round tournament tag team match for an opportunity at the NXT Tag Team Championship with Adam Rose against Gabriel and Kidd.[124] Zayn and Rose lost in the second round to the Lucha Dragons (Kalisto and Sin Cara).[125] When Zayn, Kidd and Breeze each staked a claim for an NXT Championship match, Neville agreed to face all three in a fatal-four-way match at NXT TakeOver: Fatal 4-Way.[126] Zayn and Neville made their main roster debut on the September 8 episode of Raw, defeating Breeze and Kidd.[127] At NXT TakeOver: Fatal 4-Way on September 11, Zayn failed to win the title after Neville, who retained the title, stopped him by dragging the referee out of the ring.[128] This caused tension within Neville and Zayn's friendship.[129][130] After Zayn lost another match, this time to Titus O'Neil, he vowed to start a "road to redemption" leading to the NXT Championship and went on a winning streak.[131][132][133] Zayn was rewarded with a title match against Neville on the November 13 episode of NXT in which Neville appeared to injure himself during the match, but he took advantage on Zayn checking on him to win the match and retain the title.[134] Neville agreed to Zayn's request for a title rematch, with Zayn vowing to quit NXT if he lost.[135]

    At NXT TakeOver: R Evolution on December 11, Zayn defeated Neville to win the NXT Championship, and was congratulated by many other NXT wrestlers afterwards, including Neville and Kevin Owens (the former Kevin Steen). The show ended with Owens powerbombing Zayn onto the ring apron to ruin their reunion.[136] Zayn retained the title against Neville in a rematch on the January 14, 2015, episode of NXT, but suffered another post-match attack by Owens.[137] After an irate Zayn demanded a match against Owens, even if it meant putting the title on the line, a title match was set for NXT TakeOver: Rival on February 11,[138][139] where Owens captured the title from Zayn via referee stoppage, having powerbombed a disorientated Zayn five times, ending his reign at 62 days.[140]

    Championship pursuits (2015–2017)

    Zayn at the NXT TakeOver: Dallas event in April 2016

    On the May 4 episode of Raw, Zayn was introduced by Bret Hart as John Cena's opponent for his weekly "U.S. Open Challenge" for his United States Championship, taking place in his hometown of Montreal. Zayn was heavily favored by the crowd over Cena, but lost the match. After the match, Cena let Zayn have the ring to an outstanding ovation from the live crowd.[141] However, Zayn had injured his shoulder before the match and underwent an MRI for further analysis.[142] At NXT TakeOver: Unstoppable on May 20, Zayn's NXT Championship rematch against Owens ended in a no contest when Zayn was unable to continue the match. Owens continued assaulting Zayn until the debuting Samoa Joe made the save. This was used to write Zayn off television as he was set to undergo shoulder surgery.[143] After a seven-month hiatus due to injury, Zayn returned on the December 23 episode of NXT (taped at NXT TakeOver: London on December 16), defeating Tye Dillinger.[144] At NXT TakeOver: Dallas on April 1, Zayn lost to new signee Shinsuke Nakamura in a critically acclaimed match.
