5 Men who could eliminate Braun Strowman from the 2017 Royal Rumble

#4 Sami Zayn

Braun versus Sami was one of the better rivalries of the Raw brand in 2016.

I am sure that many of us are frustrated by the use of Sami Zayn so far on the main roster. The man who put on two of the best matches of 2016 is constantly on the losing end of most of his WWE feuds. For a talented wrestler who is so over with the fans, it seems like an incredible waste of his considerable talent.

The one time he has really shined since the brand split was against Braun Strowman. Braun has been booked so well and Sami played the role of the underdog to perfection. The fact that he had to fight against Mick Foley’s interference and outlast Braun for ten minutes at Roadblock, places him as a potential babyface star to build in the coming months.

One of the best ways to do that would be to have him interact with Strowman again. It is easy to see the wonders it would do Zayn to overcome the monster yet again but this time in a bigger setting. It would set Sami up nicely for a marquee match at WrestleMania 33 that he so richly deserves.
