12-time WWE champion to turn heel ahead of his final run, massive tournament on RAW? - 3 directions for Sami Zayn after Money in the Bank

At Money in the Bank 2024, Sami Zayn successfully defended his Intercontinental Championship against Bron Breakker. While Breakker provided a great challenge to the Canadian, the latter was able to go through it all and win the match.

However, Sami Zayn's victory at Money in the Bank now poses a question about what the future holds for the Intercontinental Champion. In this article, we will look at three potential directions for Zayn following his victory at Money in the Bank 2024.

#3 12-time champion turns heel to face Sami Zayn at SummerSlam

When Bron Breakker expressed his interest in challenging for the Intercontinental Championship, a 12-time champion also did the same. The star in question is Sheamus. On RAW, The Celtic Warrior wanted a shot at Zayn's title but did not get it.

Hence, on the upcoming episode of RAW, WWE could book Sheamus to turn heel and set up a match between him and Zayn at the upcoming edition of SummerSlam. The Irishman has won numerous titles in his career, including the World Heavyweight, WWE, Tag Team, and United States championships. However, he has yet to secure the Intercontinental Title.

The Celtic Warrior's in-ring run might come to an end soon. Hence, he could aim to win Zayn's gold before eventually hanging up his wrestling boots.

#2 Announce a tournament on RAW

If facing Sheamus is not in the cards for Sami Zayn, the Canadian superstar could announce a tournament on the upcoming edition of Monday Night RAW. The winner of the competition could receive a title shot against Zayn at the upcoming edition of WWE SummerSlam.

While the angle is speculative, watching a tournament unfold on RAW won't hurt, and there will also be suspense about Zayn's opponent at The Biggest Party of the Summer. Hence, this potential angle could be the right way to book The Master Strategist in the near future.

#1 Face Dominik Mysterio on RAW

Besides Bron Breakker, Monday Night RAW has several young superstars like Dominik Mysterio and Ilja Dragunov. Sami Zayn could look to feud with such up-and-coming names and create exciting rivalries. If Zayn engages in a rivalry with Dragunov, the duo could provide the WWE Universe with several interesting matches.

Meanwhile, if Zayn feuds with Dominik Mysterio, he could also cross paths with the rest of The Judgment Day, which would also be interesting to watch. Hence, any angle Zayn leans toward will only lead to entertainment for the WWE Universe.

The upcoming episodes of RAW leading up to SummerSlam will be interesting to watch.
