10 New WWE Directions For Shinsuke Nakamura
7. A Rematch With Sami Zayn
Sami Zayn is in dangerous territory right now. WWE seem allergic to building up pure babyfaces - just look at the rut Bayley finds herself in over on Raw. On SmackDown, Zayn is currently mired in a feud with Mike Kanellis, and bizarrely lost to Aiden English in around one minute last week. However, there's one opponent that could instantly fire Sami back into the main event scene, were a match between the pair to be announced.
Well, two opponents actually, but we've seen Zayn vs. Owens enough times for now.
Zayn vs. Nakamura would be one of the most hotly anticipated rematches of recent years, after the pair tore the house down at NXT TakeOver: Dallas in 2016. Although a pre-existing storyline between the two was minimal in the build to the first match, this time around WWE could tell a far more fleshed-out tale - perhaps one based around Sami's struggles since moving to the main roster, while Nakamura has ascended to the title picture at a far more rapid rate.
