There's something utterly infectious about the ever-energetic Sami Zayn. As soon as his catchy entrance tune hits, people start paying attention. If there's one thing he proved at WrestleMania 32, it's that he knows how to keep eyes on the ring during a Ladder Match.

Zayn's spots during the WWE Intercontinental Title multi-man fray were arguably the most special of the entire bout.

Following a crisp dive through a ladder frame onto several opponents, he deftly sprinted around the ring and hopped through the ropes onto Kevin Owens.

It looked wonderfully smooth, and that just about sums the former definitely-not-EL Generico up.

He's silky smooth, and his is a story of a genuine underdog. That's something the announcers play up, and it could be perfect for Money In The Bank. If Zayn managed to scale the ladder and grab the briefcase, the crowd in Las Vegas would go banana, to quote Pat Patterson. 

Of course, he'd have to then be booked properly in the aftermath, but his underdog character is perfect for the opportunistic nature of the match.
