Sami Zayn praised those working behind the scenes in production and behind the camera, declaring how they’re the best in the world at what they do. WWE has experimented with different camera shots and production techniques lately, especially after the departure of long-time WWE production head Kevin Dunn.

Zayn added that the production crew has been given the freedom to try new things, which is showcased each week on WWE television. The former WWE Intercontinental Champion believes that WWE was confined to a particular formula under Vince McMahon and co., but has now begun to experiment with new ideas under the leadership of Triple H.

“We have some very talented people in production inside the truck, running cameras, I mean really just the top of the top,” said Zayn. “And now I think they’re just getting a little bit more room to explore because the box has kind of opened up a little. I don’t know what it is, it’s just that things under Vince for all those years, I think it was just like we found ourselves in a box because you find — but this is natural — when you find out what works you just do more of it and then you’ve accidentally created a little box of for yourself. These really narrow parameters. But it’s because of success … success starts to invariably discard what doesn’t work and keep what does work. So that’s why you end up with these rigid sort of boxes sometimes well.”
