Real Name: Rami Sebai

Height and Weight: 6'1" 212 lbs

A top AEW star just called one of his colleagues 'spoiled' and 'narcissistic' HERE.

Where he wrestles now: Monday Night Raw

Where he might find more success: All Elite Wrestling

Though many fans are only familiar with Zayn since his ascent to the WWE, for over a decade he wrestled under a mask as El Generico. An independent scene standout, he also made appearances for Ring of Honor, where he won the tag titles with Kevin Owens (Steen.)

Zayn was forced to abandon his beloved El Generico gimmick when he joined NXT; He has admitted to shedding tears in the car on the way home from his tryout. Ever since that moment, Zayn has struggled to move past the lower mid-card in WWE.

Why he might be better off in All Elite Wrestling: Zayn is one of those undersized wrestlers who might struggle to get noticed in WWE. Moving to All Elite Wrestling, where he can pick up his old El Generico gimmick once more, could be the shot in the arm his career needs.
