Biography
Rami Sebei (born July 12, 1984) is a Canadian professional wrestler. He has been signed to WWE since 2013, where he performs 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, where he became a two-time IWS World Heavyweight Champion, and achieved 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!". He wrestled while masked from 2002 to 2013. During his time in PWG, he 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. Sebei also competed internationally for Westside Xtreme Wrestling (wXw) in Germany, where he won the wXw Unified World Wrestling Championship, and 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 January 2013, he took on the ring name Sami Zayn and began wrestling without a mask in WWE's developmental brand NXT, where he won the NXT Championship. After being promoted to the main roster, he became a four-time WWE Intercontinental Champion, two-time WWE United States Champion, one-time Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champion, and a one-time Undisputed WWE Champion. He is WWE's 36th Triple Crown Champion and overall 26th Grand Slam Champion (19th under the revised format).
