5 Superstars who could return at WWE Backlash 2020

#2 Sami Zayn

Former Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn

Sami Zayn has not been on WWE television since his win at WrestleMania 36 against Daniel Bryan. Zayn has opted to stay at home and not risk his health or that of his family during this pandemic.

Zayn was stripped of the Intercontinental title by WWE and now a new Champion will be crowned on the SmackDown before Backlash. The final of the Intercontinental Championship tournament will be between AJ Styles and Daniel Bryan.

A report by Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter revealed that Zayn could potentially return to the WWE and feud with the new Intercontinental Champion.

Zayn has expressed his anger on social media about being stripped of the title and it wouldn't be a surprise if WWE used that angle to bring more heat on Zayn, and begin his new feud on SmackDown.

Two guys who will put on a match that will no doubt be a wrestling clinic, to prove once and for all just who is the bigger fraud. -SZ https://t.co/MRvZqVJNcm

We could maybe see Zayn appear on Backlash via a pre-recorded video or even attack the new Intercontinental Champion, if he does defend his title at the Backlash PPV this Sunday.
