5 Things that must happen at WWE Starrcade 2019 and 5 that mustn't

#3 Must happen: Sami Zayn betrays Shinsuke Nakamura

WWE Superstar Sami Zayn is one of the most talented performers on the Blue brand. However, he has maintained his distance from in-ring action for a while and is often seen accompanying the Intercontinental Champion, Shinsuke Nakamura.

At Starrcade, both these men will square off against The Miz in a 2-on-1 handicap match with the IC title on the line. Although Zayn is involved in almost every match of Nakamura's, this time we will see him compete inside the squared circle in full capacity. It is important to note that the booking of this match hints at Zayn's possible return to action.

Zayn can betray Nakamura during this bout to set up an eventual fight between these two Superstars. Zayn can either cost Nakamura his title or attack him after the match. Either way, the two will have the chance to engage in a compelling feud. As surprising as it may seem, Zayn has not held any Championship on the ‘main roster’.

Therefore, this Sunday we might finally see WWE make amends for keeping a deserving Superstar away from the title picture for so long.
