Sami Zayn is irate over losing the Undisputed WWE Championship to CM Punk on Raw last night.
Video posted by the WWE shows Zayn snapping after the match.
“How is it that after 24 years of crawling and scratching for every little inch to get a WWE championship, after I finally get it, NINE days after after I get it that piece of s–t can walk back in here after not being here for months and walk in and get it?” raged Zayn.
Zayn continued venting.
“That motherf–ker! He has no business!” yells as he collapses and sobs on the ground.
Zayn was supposed to face Cody Rhodes for the championship but Rhodes was taken out by an angry, disgruntled Gunther.

Raw GM Adam Pearce met with Zayn later on in the broadcast telling him he would defend the title tonight against a mystery opponent.
Raw was in Chicago so…it was pretty obvious who would be stepping up to the plate.
At the conclusion of their match, Punk hit Zayn with whip into a corner and the running knee to the face. Zayn missed a Helluva Kick but Punk didn’t miss with his. Punk pinned Zayn with the GTS.
This is Punk’s third reign as WWE Undisputed Champion.
It is assumed that Punk will put up the title against Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam.
