WWE: NXT Stars Who Should Be Called Up to Main Roster
Sami Zayn
The hardest thing to do in the professional wrestling industry is develop a wrestler into a prominent face. Getting over with the fans isn’t the issue. It’s sustainability that’s so difficult for wrestlers and companies as a whole to maintain.
Sami Zayn can be WWE’s next great face.
Many independent wrestling fans will remember Zayn for his time as the unforgettable El Generico. Since coming to WWE, he’s removed the mask, developed his skills on the microphone and thus become one of the fastest rising men in the company.
Don’t believe it? Just ask one of the biggest (in-character) independent wrestler skeptics around:
Hearing @MichaelCole on his podcast call my 2/3 match vs. @AntonioCesaro 'the best match he's seen in 5 years' is UNREAL to me. So honored.

Yup.
Zayn has every single tool that you can ask for in a professional wrestling ring. He has everything from dazzling grapples to dizzying submissions to awe-inspiring feats of agility.
Most importantly, he’s captivated every crowd he’s wrestled in front of as a member of NXT. In that time, he’s received praise from the likes of Cole, Paul Heyman and countless others.
Zayn has every tool necessary to become a top draw face and a future world champion. It’s only a matter of when he gets his shot at the main roster.
The Intercontinental Championship is vacant, you know…
