Sami Zayn Talks About Making The Bloodline Crack Up On TV
Sami Zayn is quickly becoming one of the most popular superstars in WWE. This is all because of his ongoing story with Roman Reigns and his Bloodline. By some miracle, Sami appears to be in Roman Reigns' good graces. He's become a good friend to the Tribal Chief, Solo Sikoa, and Jimmy Uso. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for Jey Uso, who still has a strong disdain for Sami.

Now, Sami Zayn and the Bloodline are arguably the main focus of both Raw and Smackdown. They appear regularly on both shows (though Roman Reigns does not always accompany them). Last week's episode of Smackdown was especially memorable for the Bloodline; it featured a segment that went off the rails due to Sami causing the Bloodline to break character and laugh during what was meant to be a serious scene.

In an interview with BT Sport, Sami discussed the ongoing instances wherein he caused the Bloodline to accidentally break character. The following transcript has been provided by Fightful:
People have made a big deal out of that, about the fact that they're seeing little chinks in the armor, but to be honest, the reason it's standing out so much is that it reminds the fans that the performers are really having fun doing this. It's something that they sometimes forget. We're enjoying doing this too. There is a real life chemistry between myself and that whole family. We have always gotten along splendidly and it's nice to see that the fans are appreciating getting a window into that a little bit. I'll admit, once or twice, I'm going out of my way to try and get them to crack. Generally, that's something you have to tread cautiously because if you overdo that, it becomes...you're just not being professional. Little bits are good, but like anything else, it can be redundant if it's overdone or if you're not taking it seriously enough. We are still trying to tell a story. In a weird way, it kind of works for the story because it's a different character bringing this lightness to an otherwise serious group. The reason it works is because it is art initiating life and fitting into the story we're trying to tell. Otherwise, it would just be completely out of place, if that makes sense. If it was Roman and the Usos talking, and they were cracking up laughing, it wouldn't make any sense because that's not supposed to happen. I'm supposed to be bringing this lightness to it, so it makes some sense.-Sami Zayn (via BT Sport)
