Sami Zayn is approaching 100 days as Intercontinental Champion.
Back at WWE 's WrestleMania 40, Sami Zayn challenged Gunther for the Intercontinental Championship. At the time of the match, Zayn's character arc had been through so many twists and turns. After he was ousted from The Bloodline, he made amends with several people, including Cody Rhodes, Jey Uso and his best friend Kevin Owens who have since become his allies in WWE .
Zayn shockingly won the championship from the longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion in history but Gunther is now moving into the world title picture after winning this year's King of the Ring tournament. His win at WrestleMania cemented him in the history books with his fourth Intercontinental Championship in his tenured career. Now Zayn is approaching the 100 day mark as of this writing and he's already reached a spectacular milestone.
This reign is officially his longest-reigning singles title run across any championship that he's won in WWE. Zayn acknowledged the accomplishment on social media, writing,"Very proud of this time in my career. It's been a really great run, thanks for the support." Zayn's three previous reigns took place throughout 2020 and 2022 and it was his first main roster title win following his NXT call up in 2016.
So far, he's defeated some of WWE's largest stars -- both metaphorically and physically. Chad Gable, Bronson Reed, and most recently the former multi-time NXT Champion Bron Breakker who has shown to be a top prospect moving into WWE's Netflix era. That might not be the last of them, though, as Breakker could look to cut this reign short with SummerSlam in August.
"I have Sami Zayn and the Intercontinental Championship exactly where I want them to be. And look, yes, Sami Zayn defeated me at Money in the Bank. He defeated me in the biggest match of my entire career on my very first PLE, God forbid," Breakker said."God forbid, Sami Zayn, a WrestleMania main eventer defeats me, a rookie, in my very first PLE. God forbid. You know what? Something's funny. I've been listening to all you people out there doubt me.
