Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens’ feud has shown what kind of performers they are. Sami Zayn can go toe to toe with anyone in the squared circle and get a good match out of them. He proved that at TakeOver: Dallas against the debuting Shinsuke Nakamura. They tore the house down that night.

Sami Zayn was a superstar on the independent scene before he signed with WWE. His run in NXT saw him become one of the most popular NXT champions of all time, before a shoulder injury sidelined him for months. Since his return, he is back to where he left off having a string of excellent matches with a variety of opponents.

With the right kind of booking we could see Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens headline WrestleMania someday. That all depends on how they’re booked. All this begins with Sami Zayn getting a match for the Intercontinental Championship, having not been pinned in the fatal-4-way match.
