10 Superstars Who Could Replace Roman Reigns When Triple H Takes Over

#3 Sami Zayn

The Ultimate Underdog

If there's an underdog on WWE television that seriously deserved a main-event push to the top of the food chain, it was Sami Zayn.

The Ultimate Underdog's incredible selling and in-ring versatility propelled him as the heart and soul of NXT under Triple H's wing.

There's no denying that Zayn played a significant role in catapulting Triple H's vision to a different stratosphere of professional wrestling in NXT.

However, Vince McMahon's philosophy for putting physical stature over crowd relatability has completely drowned Sami Zayn's underdog character. His natural babyface essence could certainly be recovered when Triple H takes over the company and pushes him to the top.

Since his personality has close similarities with Daniel Bryan, the company could invest in him as an underdog who stands up against the system.

His booking in NXT justifies Triple H's faith in the former NXT Champion, and since he was successful in delivering epic battles with Kevin Owens, Neville, Cesaro, and Shinsuke Nakamura, booking Zayn properly could make him the most natural babyfaces in recent memory.

His epic rivalry with Kevin Owens has everything that entices Triple H and the audience. Since the Game has always been a Sami Zayn admirer, there could be a serious change in the landscape, if Hunter decides to push the Underdog.
