Ever since he came back to WWE on the Raw after WrestleMania 35, Sami Zayn has been berating the WWE Universe with his scathing promos every single week. His promos saw him belittling and making fun of the fans, and it was clear as day that Zayn was being set up for a push in the near future. There had to be a payoff to these promos though, as there was no point in letting him run his mouth every single week and not back up his words.
Zayn's character of a fan-hating heel could gain more from the Money In The Bank spot than Strowman, who has already won the match once in the past. The best way to make those promos mean something was to give him a slot in the match and let him do his thing in the free-for-all, which is exactly what's happening.

Abhilash Mendhe is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda with nearly five years of experience. He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
