Sami Zayn is one of the most believable babyfaces in the current WWE roster and yesterday he did something which proved that he is as good human being as his on-air persona.
Yesterday, July 12, was Sami Zayn’s 33rd birthday, but he once again proved his “good guy” bonafides by using the day to launch an online fundraising campaign to provide medical care for victims of the war in Syria. Zayn, Syrian-Canadian himself, explained in a video message that it’s a cause very near and dear to his heart.

Several pro wrestling personalities and superstars have already donated to the cause. Seth Rollins also took notice of his tweet and praised the good work of the former NXT champion via a tweet of his own.
It’s been reported that both Seth Rollins and Sami’s longtime real-life friend and kayfabe rival Kevin Owens have each donated $5,000 to the non-profit fundraising campaign. Additionally Finn Balor, Daniel Bryan, Bo Dallas, Becky Lynch and others have contributed and shown their support for their colleague’s worthy cause.
