WWE wrestler Sami Zayn solidified his place at WrestleMania through a demonstration of resilience, captivating millions with his steadfast commitment to his traditions and faith.

The eagerly anticipated Gauntlet match, featuring six formidable contenders competing for a chance at Gunther's Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 40, was a standout moment at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas on Tuesday night. Amid fierce competition from Chad Gable, Shinsuke Nakamura, Bronson Reed, Ricochet, and JD McDonagh, Sami Zayn emerged victorious, standing tall both figuratively and literally.

As Zayn geared up for the match, WWE commentator Michael Cole underscored the significance of the moment, informing viewers that "today is the first day of Ramadan, Sami Zayn is Muslim. He said he has not been able to eat or drink throughout the day today. You have to wonder if that will affect him in this match".

Zayn, born Rami Sebei to Syrian immigrants in Canada, had even made a pilgrimage to the holy Kaaba last year and shared images on social media.

The company's acknowledgment of Zayn's religious observance struck a chord with fans, who flooded comment sections with admiration for the wrestler's dedication.
