3 Reasons why Sami Zayn lost to Drew McIntyre at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event

WWE Saturday Night's Main Event featured a singles bout between Drew McIntyre and Sami Zayn. The match concluded when The Scottish Warrior delivered a devastating Claymore Kick to Zayn’s face, securing the pinfall victory. Despite the Honorary Uce’s best efforts to seek vengeance for McIntyre’s recent actions, he ultimately fell short.

In this article, we will discuss three reasons why Sami Zayn suffered a loss to Drew McIntyre at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event.

#3. Drew McIntyre's feud with the OG Bloodline is far away from over

One reason why McIntyre defeated Sami Zayn is that his feud with the OG Bloodline is far from over. If Zayn had emerged victorious, he would have gotten his revenge on The Scottish Warrior, leaving little reason for McIntyre to continue targeting the OG Bloodline.

However, the rivalry remains unresolved, with the Honorary Uce failing to stop Drew and exact his revenge. Thus, the continuation of the feud between The Scottish Warrior and the OG Bloodline could be a key reason behind Sami Zayn’s loss.

#2. WWE could be rebuilding The Scottish Warrior

Before returning and attacking the OG Bloodline members, Drew McIntyre was heavily engaged in a rivalry with CM Punk. During that feud, The Best in the World gained significant momentum and defeated McIntyre on multiple occasions.

Another reason behind McIntyre’s victory could be to rebuild his momentum in the Stamford-based promotion. With this win, the former Royal Rumble winner has regained his footing and re-established himself as a dominant star again.

#1. To plant seeds for a future showdown between Drew McIntyre and Roman Reigns

McIntyre's victory over Sami Zayn at Saturday Night's Main Event could be a strategic move to plant seeds for a future showdown between Roman Reigns and McIntyre. With Sami now taken down at the NBC Special Event, Drew will likely set his sights on the next OG Bloodline member.

Since Jimmy Uso is currently out of WWE due to a real-life injury, Jey Uso appears to be McIntyre's next potential target. This win over Sami Zayn seems like the beginning of a setup for Drew vs. the Original Tribal Chief. Roman Reigns surely won’t be pleased with the 39-year-old star systematically defeating OG Bloodline members.

Once Reigns is done with his rivalry with Solo Sikoa, he might turn his attention toward McIntyre, leading to an intense feud between the two. So this could be another considerable rationale behind Drew McIntyre's victory.
