Every WWE superstar desires to hold the coveted World Title in the promotion and a 39-year-old WWE superstar is not the one to wish otherwise. With Kevin Owens being traded off to SmackDown, he now has the chance to prove himself in the singles competition again. This is not the only silver lining that has appeared with his transition to SmackDown from here on out.
Sami Zayn is a staple name in WWE. He is one of the most loved baby faces of the promotion. In his 10-year tenure in WWE, he has had many title reigns, but he has never won a World Title. Speaking of which, he now aims to prove himself as he marks a new chapter with a World Title goal in his mind.

Zayn kicked off this week’s Monday Night Raw show, where he talked about Owens being shipped off to SmackDown. He said he felt weird as his tag team partner won’t be around anymore. But he also expressed his excitement over the fact that now he can direct all his time and energy to focus on singles competition in WWE.
He said, “I’m excited for me too. Because I get to do something I haven’t done in a while, which is stand on my two feet and show the whole world what I have known inside of me for years and years. And that is that Sami Zayn is a World Heavyweight Championship-level superstar.”
He made his intentions very clear that he now has his eyes on gold but not any gold, the World Heavyweight Championship gold. But as he began his new chapter in WWE, a major roadblock hit him.

Both Drew McIntyre and Sami Zayn have a history with The Bloodline. They were both wronged by Roman Reigns‘ family many times in the past. But Zayn kept all his differences aside and welcomed Jey Uso with open arms. The same can’t be said for McIntyre.
He is still mad at Uso for all the trouble he caused him during his run with The Bloodline. He is also pissed at Zayn for forgiving the former Bloodline member so easily. That said, during a backstage segment on RAW, an irate McIntyre belittled Zayn. He humiliated him for his never winning a World Title in WWE.
