10 Reasons Why Adrian Neville Vs Sami Zayn Is WWE's Story Of The Year

1. It Could Be Their Ticket To The Main Roster

While the work Zayn and Neville have done in NXT has been some of the best of their careers, nobody wants to stay there forever. WWE is where the big money is made and, although the NXT crowd is one of the best crowds in wrestling, the two must yearn for stepping out on the WrestleMania or Royal Rumble stage. Adrian Neville has been in NXT just shy of two years now. He has accomplished pretty much everything he can in the league, save for some matches with Kevin Owens, Hideo Itami or Finn Balor. The recent boos and chants of 'No!' at NXT events also suggest that the NXT audience are grown weary of the ever-present Newcastle native. Sami Zayn, meanwhile, has not been in NXT for quite as long as Neville has. Sami still needs to win and have a run with the NXT championship before he becomes a regular fixture of the main roster. But Sami should be called up soon. He's more than ready for it. Both men have been performing regularly on non-televised live events and even had a brief appearance on Raw back in September. They've had a taste of the big time and, thanks to their first-class work during their recent feud, they could be on their way back for more than a taste very soon.
