7. A Braun Strowman Feud
It won't be to the liking of everyone, but Sami Zayn is tailor made for a big feud with Braun Strowman. It is a classic David versus Goliath battle, and exactly the kind of thing Vince McMahon is a fan of. Strowman is going to be on a big push later this year, and is already earmarked for feuds with Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns. In getting heat on him, it would make sense to put him over Zayn. It also elevates the babyface, as he puts up a valiant fight, only to be eventually crushed by the monster. The fact is that booking style did wonders for Daniel Bryan and Dean Ambrose in that same number two babyface spot. As part of that Strowman feud, expect Zayn to drop the IC title to Strowman, or Strowman to cost him the title against someone else in igniting their feud.
