8 Key Victories In 2019 That WWE Never Followed Up On

8. Sami Zayn Beats Braun Strowman (Raw, May 13)

It's no secret that Sami Zayn hasn't been booked to look too strong since returning from injury after WrestleMania 35, but his win-loss record in recent months is actually astonishing.

Zayn has lost every match he's competed in save for two: a tag team affair with Kevin Owens at Stomping Grounds and a Falls Count Anywhere main event on Raw in May. The latter was against Braun Strowman with the winner advancing to that Sunday's men's Money in the Bank Ladder matchup.

Of course, it was far from a truly competitive contest, as Strowman predictably dominated Zayn for most of it. It wasn't until Drew McIntyre and Baron Corbin (who were also set to compete in Money in the Bank) interfered that Zayn was able to keep Strowman down for the count and pin him for the victory.

Granted, Zayn didn't win clean, but that should have propelled him at least into the United States Championship picture. Instead, he failed to become Mr. Money in the Bank before being squashed by Strowman the very next week on Raw.

Serving as the hype man/mouthpiece for Shinsuke Nakamura for the past month has been a decent role for him, but it's also an incredible waste of his in-ring abilities.
