8 Wrestlers Being Buried By WWE's Scripted Promos

8. Sami Zayn

Sami Zayn is a very unique case when it comes to making this argument. He might be one of the most trusted members of the locker room when it comes to being unscripted and being given freedom with a mic in his hand.

After all, given the whole "stranded in Saudi Arabia" thing (new sitcom coming to FOX this fall) Sami Zayn was one of the few allowed to go out and speak without hardly any prep time putting words to paper for him. But this skill is a double edged sword in the world of the WWE nowadays, unfortunately.

Despite his amazing ability to connect with fans and getting booed and his very over critic of the critics concept he was running, he's somehow ended up being a manager. Yes, he gets to stand in the corner and cheer while Shinsuke kicks in somebody's teeth. Now granted, he has made the most of this role. But can we really say that this is where somebody envisions themselves at the prime of their career?

Sami is stuck below jobber status at this point, as he is now literally running away from competition whenever faced with it. WWE has managed to ruin any chance of him having a legitimate run and that is no fault of his own. Whenever he has a mic and some tv time, Sami does what Sami does best. Entertains and garners heat.

But Sami does that best unscripted. And that doesn't fly in this modern landscape. Sorry Zayn, put your pom poms back on: you have cheer practice.
