Moreover, Rhodes also stated that he couldn’t rule out the possibility of facing Sami at WrestleMania 39. “I can’t compare anything to Montreal other than Punk in Chicago. As composed as Roman is, this is a very unique scenario. The idea that it could be Sami Zayn is not remotely off the table for me at all,” he said.

Ever since leaving The Bloodline, Sami Zayn has looked unfathomable. The WWE Universe showed vigorous support for the former Intercontinental Champion. Furthermore, fans have seen Zayn cause cracks in The Bloodline. As a result, there’s a rift between Jey Uso and The Tribal Chief. Moreover, Sami would face the champion in his hometown, backed up by thousands of fans.

Therefore, it looks like he is a legitimate threat to The Head of the Table. Considering the red-hot form he is in, it won’t be surprising if he shocks the world by dethroning Roman Reigns at the Elimination Chamber. It would probably give rise to one of the greatest moments in WWE.
