5 Sidelined WWE Stars Who May Receive A Push When They Return (5 Who Won't)

10. Will NOT - Sami Zayn

WWE ended Sami Zayn's Intercontinental Championship reign abruptly as the Canadian wrestler did not show up. As per Paul Davis of wrestlingnews.co, the company has formally allowed the wrestlers to take some time off. However, they have not guaranteed every superstar a push upon their return.

Vince McMahon did not spare even his golden boy Roman Reigns in this situation. The Chairman of WWE would have already planned a demotion for Zayn.

The former NXT Champion dominated his adversaries in the developmental territory, but when the creative team called him up to the main roster, they did not book him to win a single championship for over four years.

'The Liberator' could find himself out of the Intercontinental title picture after returning to the blue brand. On top of that, the backstage officials might reduce his role to a manager only. Sami Zayn could again manage the directionless duo of Shinsuke Nakamura and Cesaro in the lower mid-card of SmackDown.
