WWE Roadblock: 5 Guarantees & 5 Possible Surprises

3. Surprise: Zayn/Jericho May Build To A Multi-Man 'Mania Match

The Highlight Reel segment that is expected to have Sami Zayn appear as a guest may not just be a smart way to break up the physical action at Roadblock, but an opportunity to further develop the many stories intertwined with the Intercontinental Championship. Sami Zayn's appearance on SmackDown's Miz TV segment appears to be the start of WWE's plans for some kind of multi-man match for the IC Championship at WrestleMania. Zayn initially challenged Kevin Owens before Neville would follow in suit, eventuating in a physical confrontation between Miz and Zayn. Of course, being an episode of SmackDown, a tag team match ensued. Although AJ Styles is booked for that night's show in Atlantic City, the segment could be used to introduce both Styles and Chris Jericho into the Intercontinental Championship picture. Jericho and Styles' three previous singles matches were entertaining, but it would be an anti-climax to have them square off once again at the Show of Shows. Instead, their feud could easily be continued as part of a six-man match for the Intercontinental Championship - also featuring Zayn, Owens, Neville and The Miz - at WrestleMania.
