5 People who could become aligned with Sami Zayn

#3 The Viking Raiders

The former NXT Tag Champs would benefit from a pairing with Zayn

Like AOP, the Viking Raiders don't really need to talk that much in order to get their point across. They're physical and hard-hitting and quite frankly are extremely athletic for guys their size. They remind me of how Kevin Owens and Willie Mack fly all over the ring like cruiserweights.

Both Erik and Ivar have been primarily stomping on local talent but they need an uptick in competition. Zayn could tell them that they are so much more than that and that they should be getting title shots instead of beating up guys who are just local competitors.

The reason why a potential pairing could work is because as I mentioned above, the main direction for the Viking Raiders has simply been to appear on RAW and beat a much smaller team in under five minutes. Zayn could add legitimacy to them by guiding them since they are still new to the main roster.
