10 Booking Steps For WWE's Road To WrestleMania 41
5. Kevin Owens Beats A Wounded Sami Zayn
Some fans reckon WWE moved away from thoughts of one marquee match for Kevin Owens at 'Mania 41 to another once he attacked on/off pal/enemy Sami Zayn at the end of Monday's flagship. Perhaps KO vs. Sami is pencilled in for April, but it'd make more sense if Zayn was a speed bump on Kev's road to something else. More on that to come shortly, but you've already figured out who.
A package piledriver wrecked Sami on Raw, and it'd make sense if the babyface sold that move with the same gusto as the likes of Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes. He shouldn't be 100% for a while, basically. Zayn can wrestle, but he shouldn't be moving freely or pain free. That presumably wouldn't stop a spirited good guy like Sami from challenging Kevin to a match in Toronto at Elimination Chamber.
What an occasion that'd be for the Canadian faithful in attendance.
They'd get to watch two favourite sons do their thing and etch another chapter into the history books for their incredible series. It's one that stretches right back to the ROH days when names like El Generico and Kevin Steen were on everyone's lips. Today, both are household names in WWE, and they'll never work a bad match even if this would be the 878th one between them (probably).
Sami should hobble into Chamber as the walking wounded and try his best. However, a cruel, twisted smile on KO's face would tell the full story. Zayn should've helped him beat Cody at the Rumble when he had the chance. 'This is all [his] fault - he pushed Owens to it'.
