5 Reasons why Sami Zayn is Roman Reigns' next WWE Universal Title challenger

#2 Sami Zayn could get cheated and turn babyface in the process

It's been a long time since we've seen Sami Zayn as a babyface - over four years, to be exact. It was October 2017 at Hell in a Cell when Sami Zayn helped Kevin Owens defeat Shane McMahon inside the cell. It marked his first heel turn in WWE, and he hasn't turned back since.

Injuries and returns haven't been enough to turn Sami Zay into a babyface, and he's been good in his obnoxious role. However, there will come a point where he gets cheated out of opportunities over and over and the crowds start to notice it.

Once they do, the reactions will swing in favor of Sami Zayn. He's already an extremely well-liked personality outside of the ring due to his philanthropic efforts, and WWE may finally turn him babyface after four years.

However, it would need to be done carefully. If WWE is using this as a filler feud, there may not be enough time to turn Zayn babyface within the next month, as it requires a slow-burning build-up.

If WWE goes in the direction of turning Sami Zayn babyface, then his feud with Roman Reigns can continue until the Royal Rumble at the very least.
