One WWE wrestler in particular went one step further to honor the fallen Gaudreau in Calgary. Canadian-born superstar Sami Zayn, entered the arena wearing a Johnny Gaudreau Flames jersey. The crowd responded with an insane cheer for Zayn, both a sign of love for one of their own and a sign of gratitude for the gesture.Following an in-ring segment, Zayn spoke with WWE and NHL Network reporter Jackie Redmond about. Zayn shared how emotional the whole ordeal was for him.
"I'm feeling really emotional to be honest," he said to Redmond. "I'm wearing this jersey, not because I'm a Flames fan. Everyone knows I'm a Canadiens guy, but to honor Johnny Gaudreau."The tribute for Gaudreau didn't end with Zayn's gesture. Redmond also delivered a beautiful and moving tribute to the Gaudreau brothers.
