#3 Letting Sami Zayn shine and having all SmackDown champions feature on the show in the process

Sami Zayn needed the help of The Artist Collective to defend his Intercontinental Championship against Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania. However, he put up a good match at the Show of Shows and has established his persona of a cowardly heel well.

It took Zayn a lot of years to claim his first-ever title after making his permanent move to the main roster in 2016. He certainly wouldn't want to slow down now, especially when he's only starting to become a household name.

That Zayn holds a championship is also of special importance right now. WWE finally have all their titles on full-time Superstars. And in unprecedented times like these, Vince McMahon and co. would do well to have all champions feature regularly to get more eyes on the product.

Sami Zayn was the only champion on the Blue brand to not be involved in a segment this week which is certainly a miss. With Daniel Bryan set to face Cesaro in a Money in the Bank qualifier match next week, let's hope that we get to know Zayn's new opponent on the upcoming edition of SmackDown.
