WWE Royal Rumble 2021: 3 Superstars who flopped and 4 who impressed - Roman Reigns busted open, Edge makes history 

#2 Flopped at WWE Royal Rumble: Sami Zayn

Sami Zayn deserves a better booking in WWE

Sami Zayn is criminally underused, and WWE Royal Rumble was no different. He participated in the men’s match and was thrown off the top of the ring following a forgettable performance. Zayn was the third Superstar to enter the ring and spent most of his time staring at Randy Orton and Edge who were involved in a gruesome exchange.

Mustafa Ali joined him, and they all attacked Edge. That said, Zayn had a very small role to play in any of the brawls before Big E made his way to the ring. The two Superstars immediately started their brawl, and before anything big could happen, the Intercontinental Champion sent Zayn over the top rope.

Sami Zayn was the second Superstar to leave the match, and he had zero eliminations to his name. He has been booked as an opportunist on SmackDown and should have been allowed to employ some of those tactics at WWE Royal Rumble. Instead, his performance on tonight’s show made him look extremely weak ahead of a plausible title feud with Apollo Crews and Big E.
