Something has been brewing between Sami Zayn and Chad Gable for a while now. Gable wanted his own WrestleMania moment vs. GUNTHER, but Sami was the one handpicked by WWE to take that spot instead. Then, Zayn ended the Austrian's iconic title reign but still wants to be great pals with Chad.

Over to you, Mr. Gable.

There was a bit of tension between both men on Raw. Zayn toyed with Chad by saying they were now even, then revealed he was joking and arranged an IC Title bout between them for next week's show in Montreal. In Montreal. Does anyone else smell a screwjob coming? OK, maybe that's too far.

Gable could turn heel on Sami though. That'd be risky considering he's relatively fresh as a breakout babyface, but Chad turning into a ticked off wrestling machine (think Kurt Angle in 2002/2003) does sound like bags of fun. Besides, Zayn needs a list of credible opponents to make his reign worthwhile.

Why not Gable?
