Sami Zayn To Wrestle Kevin Owens At WrestleMania 32?

Zayn to rekindle feud with Kevin Owens on the big stage?

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting that former NXT Champion Sami Zayn is currently scheduled for a match at WrestleMania. With that in mind, he's expected to start appearing on WWE television shortly. No match was announced, but given Zayn's lingering bad blood with Kevin Owens after an unresolved NXT feud between the two, it's likely that he'll compete in a bout with the prizefighter. The Observer is reporting that a multiple man contest is scheduled for the show and could very well involve the Intercontinental Title, a slot which the exciting Zayn would undoubtedly fit into well. On the other hand, the newsletter also made mention of one more singles match expected to be made over the next two weeks. If Owens loses the Intercontinental Title before WrestleMania, he could take on Zayn in the one-on-one contest. Zayn has appeared on WWE television twice before. Last May, he answered John Cena's U.S. Championship open challenge, accidentally injuring his shoulder when he threw up his arms in celebration. Zayn missed seven months of action after surgery, but returned to NXT action in December. He was also a surprise entrant in the 2016 Royal Rumble, eliminating a shocked Owens from the bout. Before Zayn leaves NXT, he still has one more major match with the brand. At NXT TakeOver: Dallas - two days before WrestleMania - he's scheduled to face Shinsuke Nakamura in Nakamura's WWE debut.
