10 Fan Favorite Wrestlers Who Will Never Get Their Big Breakout Match
2. Sami Zayn
He's both feuded with and befriended Kevin Owens during his time in WWE, and it's hard to argue that both sides of that equation weren't Sami's best moments on the main roster, save for a crowd-pleasing debut against John Cena in the US Title Open Challenge.
Beyond that, and Sami is seen as the guy who can work with The Guy. He can be an intrepid punching bag for Braun Strowman or an engaging annoyance to AJ Styles or Shane McMahon. But a serious contender to capture the top prize? Doubtful.
Vince Russo once assessed Sami Zayn as a cab driver masquerading as a wrestler on WWE TV. One can't help but wonder if Vince McMahon sees the same thing.
Tide yourself over with: one of his career-best bouts, either the brilliant collision with Shinsuke Nakamura at NXT Takeover: Dallas, or the ladder war with Kevin Owens at ROH's Final Battle: Doomsday in 2012.
