Sami Zayn, once an integral part of The Bloodline and a popular figure among WWE fans, has faced a downturn in his career recently, marked by a series of losses. Despite declaring himself a contender rather than an underdog on RAW, Zayn has struggled to secure opportunities for championship matches.
The recent defeat against Randy Orton in a Men’s Elimination Chamber qualifying match on SmackDown adds to Zayn’s woes. With uncertainty surrounding his future, there is speculation about a potential heel turn for the former Intercontinental Champion.
Considering Zayn’s recent struggles and Triple H’s role as WWE Chief Content Officer, a heel turn orchestrated by Triple H could inject new life into Zayn’s character. Turning heel might allow Zayn to explore different dimensions and storylines, potentially setting the stage for an intriguing plot leading up to WrestleMania 40.
Zayn’s recent assertion that he is no longer an underdog but a contender suggests a shift in his mindset. Turning heel could be a strategic move to prove himself as a serious contender in the WWE landscape.
While Zayn’s WrestleMania 40 plans remain uncertain, WWE is likely to find a spot for him on the match card, given his consistent efforts over the past year. Teasers of a feud with Drew McIntyre on RAW and the potential for a Triple Threat Match involving Seth Rollins and McIntyre at WrestleMania 40 have been discussed.
Alternatively, Zayn may target Gunther in pursuit of a fourth Intercontinental Championship win. Despite the uncertainties, Zayn’s determination and the potential for a heel turn open up various possibilities for his role at WrestleMania 40. His disappointment after the recent loss to Randy Orton indicates a strong desire to secure a meaningful spot on the grandest stage of them all.
