Sami Zayn has been ready for the WWE main roster for a long time, and the decision to promote him from NXT to Raw during WrestleMania season was a wise one. He instantly added value to the Mania mid card, as he instantly went after Kevin Owens and the Intercontinental Title in a continuation of their long shared rivalry. His March 7 Raw appearance, and indeed his Royal Rumble involvement, was one of the pop moments of this whole Mania season. Winning the belt from Owens at Mania could be the next step for Zayn, which would set him up for a substantial push in the remainder of 2016 as one of WWE's top babyfaces.
