We take a look at what Drew McIntyre and Shinsuke Nakamura did to Cody Rhodes last week, only to have Sami Zayn make the save for Cody.

Jackie Redmond interviewed Sami Zayn earlier today.

She mentions that Sami said he would do anything to win, but he failed to qualify for the Elimination Chamber.  She asks about his confidence.  Sami says any athlete, when they say they are going to do something and fall short, there is some embarrassment.  He says he felt it many times before in his career.  That feeling is overtaken by his belief in himself.  He says this time last year, he was standing face to face with Cody Rhodes.  He said if he wanted main event Wrestlemania, he had to believe in himself.  He says he still believes he is a contender.  It will not be an easy path to get a title, but he will take it.

Sami is interrupted by Nakamura on the Tron.  He asks what is wrong with Sami.  You had the glory, but did you forget that.  You act like you are in misery.  You want people's sympathy.  Such a clever guy, just like Cody.  I would love to see your true self tonight.  The one that swindles people but if you don't let your real emotions out, Nakamura says he won't tolerate it.  He says he will pick up Sami's soul and continue his warpath forward.
