#1 Sami Zayn returns and reforms the Artist Collective
One of the most probable ways for Sami Zayn to return to action would be him coming back and reforming the Artist Collective with Shinsuke Nakamura and Cesaro. Even after being absent from the WWE Programming on TV, Zayn has been completely in-character on his Twitter. He recently tweeted how everyone in the Intercontinental Championship tournament, except Shinsuke, have no self-respect and that he is disappointed in all of them.
If WWE decides to keep him a heel on his return, he could as well bring back the Artist Collective and sneak attack the Intercontinental champion. Otherwise, the trio can also enter the Tag Team scene. They can either straightaway go after the SmackDown Tag Team Championships or have a feud with other factions like the recently debuted, Forgotten Sons.
There have been rumors of WWE not being very happy with Sami's decision of staying at home and we sincerely hope that it does not affect his push. He has been doing a great job as a heel and has proven his versatility.
