WWE universe will be vouching for a great push for Sami Zayn

Sami Zayn was last seen in an underwhelming feud against Bobby Lesner before he suffered two torn rotator cuffs and had to be out of action as he required surgery for the same. Sami Zayn is a talented superstar who was at his miraculous best during his time at NXT. The former NXT Champion has been but a miss ever since he was called up to the main roster. Zayn's friendship with Kevin Owens had a great arc for a potential storyline at WWE, but it never actually worked the way one would have expected. After splitting into performing in singles matches, Zayn suffered the injury and is expected to return before WrestleMania 35.

Sami Zayn, who has time and again shown his resentment over not being credited in his storylines has not only failed in making his presence felt, but the WWE creative team has been a little lousy itself. Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens going rogue when they teamed up again, did not work as good as one would have expected.

He could return with a new gimmick and throw that Kevin Owen's best friend storyline in the trashcan for a couple of years. It was definitely not working for Zayn, who can do more if pitted against high card wrestlers with a great storyline. The former NXT Champion hasn't won a single Championship in WWE after being called to the main roster. Sami Zayn will look to make the all expected return before WrestleMania, and since SummerSlam has opened more windows for new storylines, one waits where Sami Zayn will go when he makes his return.

We take a look at 3 potential feuds he could be involved in when he makes his in-ring return. Half a year away from the grandest stage of all, Zayn could do exceedingly well on his road to WrestleMania, heading into a clash, WWE fans have been anticipating for years.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE


Bobby Roode

Bobby Roode is in a dire need of a good storyline. The talented wrestler and former NXT Champion could capitalize on Sami Zayn's return, helping establish both in the process. I am hoping for babyface Sami Zayn who isn't just about ranting how he doesn't get opportunities. A heel turn for Bobby Roode and a great rivalry with Sami Zayn can be a great prospect for both the wrestlers heading into WrestleMania.

Bray Wyatt

Bray Wyatt is back in the singles competition with Matt Hardy out due to injury. Sami Zayn and Bray Wyatt could make up an interesting feud. Bray Wyatt is a great wrestler who can do justice to Sami Zayn's return. Not a long time ago, Bray Wyatt was seen as a major contender for the Championship belt. And even though the duo of Broken Matt and Bray Wyatt was doing okay in the beginning, consecutive defeats from the hands of B Team had a part to do with the disappearing interest from the Tag-Team Division.

Sami Zayn and Bray Wyatt seem like a great opportunity for both the wrestlers to bounce back in the main roster with increased interest in-ring for the WWE universe.

Mojo Rawley

Mojo Rawley is fast, tall and brutal. He is a talented wrestler who has failed to make an impact in the WWE universe because of poor storytelling. After winning Andre The Giant Battle Royal, Mojo Rawley disappeared from the main roster in terms of being a high-card wrestler.

Now that he is back and is capable of giving great fights, it's only evident that Sami Zayn capitalizes on the talented wrestler to build a great storyline for future feuds.
