This match is a bit of a cheat entry due to the fact Sami Zayn has wrestled Seth Rollins countless times in WWE.

The difference this time would be that Zayn is a heel, something he's never been in the company before and definitely wasn't the last time he and Rollins matched up one-on-one. If WWE are looking for a fine rival for Seth's Intercontinental Title, then they need look no further. Zayn's their man.

Of course, this all changes if Rollins is traded to SmackDown during the Superstar Shakeup's second leg this Tuesday night. Whilst it does make sense that one of the secondary belts will head to SmackDown, the smart money may be on Jeff Hardy's United States Title, not Seth's IC gold.

Before 'Mania, it's true that Rollins needed a change. Fast-forward to now however and that brand switch doesn't seem quite as vital. In fact, he can have great matches against Zayn, Dolph Ziggler, Kevin Owens, Drew McIntyre, Samoa Joe, Bobby Roode and more before moving.
