...THIS!

It'll be a real shame when it eventually happens, but Sami Zayn can't hang around with The Bloodline forever. His kicking is coming, and costing The Usos their Raw Tag Team straps at the Rumble could play into that. WWE actually has the chance to spread this story out over the whole night.

Sami would accidentally cost Jimmy and Jey (don't forget his frosty history with the latter), then one of the brothers would eliminate him as revenge during the 30-man melee later. Alternatively, maybe they'd feed Zayn to Solo Sikoa, and cause Roman Reigns to take his eye off the ball because family just won't get along.

The more one thinks about it, the more it takes sense to have Sami f*ck things up for his "family" in San Antonio. It'd be rather shocking to see The Usos lose at this point, but they've already broken New Day's title record and WWE needs to start thinking of what's coming next.
