Ever since joining The Bloodline, Sami Zayn has become the hottest act in WWE and the wrestling world. After making his main roster debut following NXT’s success in 2015, the future looked promising for Sami Zayn. However, WWE was consistently confused about his major push to solidify him at the top. The creative team tried multiple things with him but failed miserably. During the Pandemic and Thunder Dome eras, fans embraced Sami’s conspiracy theorist character. But the best was yet to come, as he joined The Bloodline last year.

After becoming the Honorary Uce in The Bloodline, Sami Zayn has managed to captivate the fans. He managed to take The Bloodline story to a whole different level than before. The fans want to see him at the top more than any other wrestler on the roster. However, even after his meteoric rise to the top, WWE doesn’t consider him to be the face of the company. Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reported that WWE might be planning on Sami winning the world championship in the future, but it’s unlikely that he will become the face of the company.

Meltzer reflected on the possible future of Sami, stating, “At this point, I would kind of go in that direction where he would win the championship. But as far as making him the face of the company, can they do that? They won’t.” Dave also reported that neither Vince McMahon nor Triple H see him as the face of the company. However, that doesn’t mean they will sideline him to the mid-card for now. Sami has generated a massive reaction from the fans and is destined to be on top in the future.

With all the hype going into the Royal Rumble this weekend, it is going to be a big night for Sami Zayn. Aside from the men’s Royal Rumble match, he may also get involved in the Undisputed Championship match. Roman Reigns will defend his Undisputed Universal Championship against Sami’s former friend Kevin Owens on the Royal Rumble PPLE. After all the drama this past Monday on Raw Is XXX, Sami Zayn is told to give the final test to The Bloodline by The Tribal Chief.

After almost getting kicked out of the bloodline, Sami is given one last chance to prove himself. The fans have no clue about what test Sami has to give to prove that he belongs to The Bloodline. Sami sneaked into this week’s SmackDown to save Solo Sikoa from being defeated by Owens after The Tribal Chief ordered him to stay away from him until Saturday. One thing is for sure: with all the intriguing factors, the Royal Rumble is going to be Sami’s night.

Sami Zayn is also one of the top favorites to win the men’s Rumble match, with his whole story featuring the Bloodline. Reports also suggest Sami might be winning the men’s Rumble match. Dave Meltzer also stated that with the whole story going on currently, Sami winning the rumble and headlining WrestleMania seems like a great idea. With fans hoping to see Sami on top by possibly winning the Royal Rumble, Sami Zayn’s rise to the top may begin at the upcoming event.
