From the Same Company that Linda McMahon Owned: Sami Zayn Works Against the Demonization of Muslims

Perhaps in another time and place, Sebei's background would force him to be a villainous character paired up against an American hero, causing thousands of fans in arenas across the country to boo him and chant, "U-S-A!"

She did a damn good job during the WWE's push to become a national company, working on marketing IIRC.
