7 Current WWE Superstars deserving of a World Championship

2. Sami Zayn

One of the most deserving candidates on the list!

Sami Zayn, in my opinion, is one of the most underrated superstars on the entire roster. So far this year, he has already put on three Match of the Year contenders (vs Nakamura at Takeover Dallas, vs Kevin Owens at Battleground and vs Owens, Miz, and Cesaro at Extreme Rules). Not only is he brilliant in the ring, but he has the underdog character that is so easy to love.

He should hopefully be one of the top babyfaces of the “New Era”, and maybe soon, he can challenge KO for the Universal Title. As a matter of fact, Kevin Owens’s first defense would be against Sami Zayn and Seth Rollins at a WWE Live Event at the O2 arena in London on Wednesday, September 7th. So just maybe, WWE may go back to Zayn vs Owens, but this time around, with the World title as the focal point.
