WWE SmackDown have a lot on the line this week

#4 Who will be Sami Zayn’s next challenger on WWE SmackDown?

Sami Zayn deserves to be a part of better feuds

After making his return to WWE SmackDown, Sami Zayn convincingly defeated Jeff Hardy and AJ Styles to establish himself as the ‘undisputed’ Intercontinental Champion. He is now set to face United States Champion Bobby Lashley at Survivor Series. Sami Zayn, though, is in dire need of good challengers for his title on the Blue brand.

While Zayn is an entertaining and a deserving champion, that could change quickly if he is not in interesting feuds. That can be easily avoided if he is booked in a few compelling title feuds before ultimately dropping his title. WWE SmackDown have a lot of Superstars who can compete for the championship and eventually elevate their position on the main roster.

More than that, there are several individuals who can use a good run with the Intercontinental Championship on WWE SmackDown before they are pushed into the world title picture. But more than anything, the creative need to book good rivalries for Sami Zayn to ensure that a Superstar as talented as him is not lost in the mix.
