We Find out What’s Next for Sami Zayn

It may finally be safe to assume that Sami Zayn’s feud with Braun Strowman is over. After weeks of Zayn asking for matches with Strowman, and then another week of Strowman asking for a match with Zayn, the Monster Among Men finally put Sami away this past Monday. He destroyed him in a Last Man Standing match and threw him off a stretcher when it was all said and done. So what’s next for the Underdog From the Underground? We should find out tonight.

Zayn is too important of a superstar to keep off TV for long. Sure, they could play up the injury angle tonight and say he’s not going to appear. But because of his fighting spirit, we’re going to assume Zayn will be at Raw tonight. If he is, we will probably find out what’s in store for him as we head into the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania.

WWE may hold off on putting Zayn into another feud right now and instead just have him commit to entering the Royal Rumble match. After all, winning that match could secure him a match with his mortal enemy Kevin Owens. And although we’ve seen that match a lot by now, seeing on that stage with that much on the line would still be quite a sight. And if he doesn’t win the Rumble, then he could be put into a meaningful feud the night after as we look toward Mania.
