The use of celebrities in WWE has always been hit or miss with certain names understanding the business more than others. Bad Bunny is arguably the greatest success story with his recent matches and general star power adding fun memories for WWE stories. Johnny Knoxville has been trying to enter that side of the best-case celebrity angles in wrestling.

Sami Zayn’s heel character was placed into a running angle with Knoxville heading into the Royal Rumble match. The popularity of the recent Jackass movie even made Knoxville more relevant to add to the interest. Zayn has shown a lot of creativity to make the segments quite fun with more left to offer. WWE should be aiming towards an attraction match of Knoxville vs Zayn at WrestleMania 38 to truly pay it off.

Fun Celebrity Involvement

Not all celebrities are fun in wrestling, but Johnny Knoxville has shown to be one of the better cases of a famous name in WWE. A storyline with Sami Zayn and an appearance in the Royal Rumble match built interest in seeing what Knoxville would be doing. The desire to promote the latest Jackass movie made it perfect for Knoxville to have a relationship with WWE.

Few celebrities have the fearless nature and fun personality to get over in wrestling as Knoxville does. The Jackass franchise shows that he doesn’t fear putting his body on the line for the entertainment of his viewers. WWE presents the same thought process for the physical side of wrestling to make Knoxville a fitting addition to the company during one of the most important times of the year.

Knoxville received positive ovations from the WWE crowd in most of his appearances and delivered strong results for WWE. A heel like Sami Zayn is ideal to take risks on the character side of things and get the most out of Knoxville. The comedic timing and presence of Knoxville as a natural entertainer created hilarious segments with Zayn.

Getting The Best Of Sami Zayn

WWE re-signing Sami Zayn to a big contract ahead of his free agency showed that they believe he’s valuable to the product. Zayn has become one of the best overall heels in WWE and among the most entertaining performers on the Smackdown brand. WWE gutted Smackdown in the 2021 draft, but talents like Zayn stepping up has helped the show remain the most-watched wrestling program.

The trust of Zayn in WWE led to him being the heel selected to work with Johnny Knoxville. WWE typically picks a talented performer who can carry the celebrity and enhance them with the character side to make the angle work. Knoxville finding chemistry with Zayn proves that he can be trusted to have big moments for WWE and lead noteworthy storylines.

The moment of Zayn eliminating Knoxville from the Royal Rumble was fun, but it left things open. Zayn appearing at the Jackass movie premiere in Hollywood showed that there is a lot to still be done between the two. The hilarity of Zayn trying to invade Knoxville’s big night and getting chased off the red carpet with a cattle prod just created more interest between the two.

The Match Would Have A Perfect Payoff

The appeal of a WrestleMania 38 match between Johnny Knoxville and Sami Zayn can help add depth to an important card. Zayn carrying Knoxville through a match will be unlike anything else on the event to add to the spectacle aspect of the show. WWE is usually best at delivering a strong WrestleMania with one celebrity match on the card if the talent can step up like Bad Bunny did last year during his tag match with Damien Priest against The Miz and John Morrison.

However, the stunt history of Knoxville and the humor can add to a fun match scenario with Zayn. WWE has allowed Zayn to take bigger leaps with his character over the past year, and it can pay off here. The chemistry between Knoxville and Zayn has led to multiple great promos, a fun interaction in the Royal Rumble match, and even a noteworthy red carpet memory.

WWE has a habit of forcing things that fans don’t seem to be going with organically. This is one middle ground of the fans and WWE being on the same page with the use of a famous name. Knoxville works well in the WWE landscape to provide extra attention and Zayn is delivering the best character work of his career. The potential of a singles match at WrestleMania 38 is the most ideal way to get the best of both worlds.
