Sami Zayn is on the verge of the biggest match of his career, set to take on Roman Reigns for the WWE Undisputed Universal Title at Elimination Chamber. As he prepares for this monumental encounter, Zayn’s future hangs in the balance, with his journey potentially shaping the storylines of WrestleMania. Initially, the plan was for Zayn to lose to Reigns, with Jey Uso turning on him and a subsequent match between the Usos and Zayn and Kevin Owens at WrestleMania. However, this plan has since undergone a significant transformation.
Zayn’s recent success has unexpectedly drawn viewers, making him a needle mover, even when Roman Reigns is not present. His segments have become a must-watch for fans, and SmackDown’s ratings have increased, largely due to his popularity. Given his unexpected success, it is no surprise that the show is being held in his hometown of Montreal, where 13,795 tickets have been sold, with only 215 remaining. The crowd is expected to be electric for the match between Zayn and Reigns.

As a result, WWE now has various options to script the match’s outcome. Zayn could emerge victorious, rewriting the storylines, or Reigns could triumph, setting up a match with Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania. The company could also opt for a three-way match with a controversial finish. With regards to WrestleMania booking, WWE has made changes on the fly, and only time will reveal if their current plan has truly been altered.
As Zayn stands on the cusp of the biggest match of his career, his future hangs in the balance. Will he be able to overcome the odds and secure a historic victory, or will he fall short and continue on a path of mediocrity? The outcome of Elimination Chamber will have a significant impact on the direction of WWE storylines, and fans are anxiously waiting to see what will unfold.
