5 WWE Superstars who should be given permission by Vince McMahon to cut unscripted promos

#4 Sami Zayn

A little louder for the people in the back

We can't talk enough about how brilliant Sami Zayn is on the mic! He can be the most hated person inside the arena and yet, if he picks up the mic, everybody stops to listen.

Zayn is one of the very few Superstars who have the ability to get under the skin of those who are standing up against him. Unlike other Superstars, Zayn doesn't employ enunciation and dramatization to gain attention.

Instead, he identifies the points that will irk his opponents the most and builds his weapons around them. He uses the entire ring to work the crowd, forcing them to side with one of the Superstars.

Zayn skillfully appeals to the insecurities of the listeners which is why it is hard to ignore him. He can say things that others are afraid of without making a big deal out of it. Not to mention, he is quite natural at handing out the most painful burns. This is one of the reasons why e receives a huge pop from the WWE Universe, even if he is the heel in a storyline.

If he can be this good within the restrictions of the script, imagine how well he can do if he is trusted to talk without it...
