3. To give Sami Zayn his WrestleMania moment

Sami Zayn has been a part of WWE for over a decade. He has been a timeless performer and has had iconic matches in his career. However, there was a void among his fans about a ‘big-feel’ moment.

Zayn might finally capture the gold at WrestleMania in a single run. This match has the potential to be the match of the night. Besides, such a huge win might solidify the former Tag Team Champion as the face of the WWE’s midcard division.

2. To move Gunther to main title picture

Gunther has been a WWE champion for over 600 days. He has been reigning at the top and has defeated all of the big names in the midcard. It feels that the Ring General has achieved everything there is on the midcard level, and it is time to achieve the main event goals. Therefore, WWE might take the Intercontinental Championship from him at WrestleMania.

The 36-year-old superstar might drop the title to the Underdog from the Underground at WrestleMania. It will give WWE a fresh slate to write the future of the Ring General to the main event level. However, it might also give a push to Sami Zayn, as he has been having a rough time on Raw lately.

1. To revitalize Sami Zayn after the Bloodline Saga

Sami Zayn has worked on the main event title picture scene in WWE. He has been an important part of the Bloodline Saga. However, his charisma and personality, ever since the fall of The Bloodline, have been lackluster. It is possible that WWE might want to revitalize the character of Zayn once again.

Moreover, it is also possible that WWE might be trying to reinvent the character of Sami Zayn as a main eventer but not an underdog anymore. Furthermore, these points make it possible for WWE to make Zayn defeat Gunther at the Grandest Stage of Them All.
