Sami Zayn is one of the most talented WWE superstars in the industry. His mannerisms and wrestling abilities have taken him to the sky and turned him into a major star. Zayn’s recent rivalry with The Bloodline has made him a force to reckon with.
After Zayn lost to Reigns at the Elimination Chamber 2023, the story has taken a completely new turn. With The Bloodline on the verge of breaking up, the fans have become more invested in the story. The Usos are falling apart, which is causing major tremors in the faction.
The latest episode of WWE SmackDown witnessed Jimmy Uso and Sami Zayn confront each other. While Zayn was making Uso understand the cons of being in The Bloodline, Jey Uso arrived at the arena. Jimmy Uso would use this to his advantage and attack a distracted Zayn.

The Canadian has been extremely instrumental in taking WWE to new heights, while the fans have cheered him throughout. While around 9 years back, it was Daniel Bryan who received such immense support from the fans, this time it is Sami Zayn.
However, it is unlikely for Zayn to capture the gold, since Rhodes is scheduled to face Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39.

What has WWE planned for Sami Zayn at WrestleMania 39?
After Zayn’s loss at the hands of Reigns at Elimination Chamber 2023, he is currently left without a match. Fans are expecting Zayn to team up with Kevin Owens to take on The Usos at WrestleMania for their tag-team titles.
However, none of this is confirmed. WWE is yet to release a confirmation on both Zayn’s and Owens’ WrestleMania journey. A few days later in March, Owens is scheduled to team up with Zayn to take on Sikoa and Reigns. Fans are wondering if that might be seeds of growing their friendship back.
