WWE: 5 Bold Predictions for the SmackDown Live After WrestleMania 35
By John Brown
5. Sami Zayn Will Return to WWE
You will hear fans scream “LET’S GO!” on the SmackDown after WrestleMana 35.
Not only will Sami Zayn return to SmackDown Live because a “land of opportunity” might get him back near the top of WWE, but also because Zayn should never be apart from Kevin Owens. Much like Batman and The Joker, Owens and Zayn are destined to be together forever.
Kevin Owens is currently experiencing life as a babyface as fans are happy he’s back, acknowledging all he brings to the table as a performer. A perfect transition for Sami Zayn is to join up with Owens and have both go after the SmackDown Tag Team Titles, just to ride the high and positive vibes of having both dynamic performers back in a WWE ring.
Soon after, Zayn and Owens will remind all of us what makes their rivalry one of the most personal in recent WWE history.
As good as Owens and Zayn are together, they are even better when going after each other’s throats. Personal issues sell tickets, and the story of Owens and Zayn contains every bit of depth of the rivalries between Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels, as well as Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa. Zayn’s return to SmackDown Live will reinvigorate the narrative Owens and Zayn started so many years ago and will continue so many years into the future.
