#2. Zayn takes part in a blast from the past

Remember the time Zayn faced the debuting Shinsuke Nakamura at NXT Takeover: Dallas? How can anyone forget the masterful match they had that night?

That magic hasn't been replicated by either star in the matches they've had on the main roster. Even though they have had a few contests, fans pine for something close to the classic they delivered in 2016.

Zayn and Nakamura recently faced off for the Intercontinental title in a match won by The Conspiracy Theorist. Nothing's stopping WWE from having the two contest a rematch at WrestleMania 38. If they get anywhere near their NXT match, they're stealing the show.


#1. Zayn does battle under Rated-R terms

When Edge returned to WWE, fans made up lists for all the dream matches he could be having. If Zayn wasn’t on your list, you were doing it wrong.

The technical mastery of Zayn and the tenacity of Edge is a winning formula. With the latter announcing that he's looking for someone to step up and challenge him at WrestleMania 38, WWE could provide fans with an Edge vs. Zayn matchup.

Title or no title, the feud will be a masterclass in storytelling and in-ring work. Everything, from the promos to the match itself, will be a sight to behold.
