Zayns recent programme with Adrian Neville was centred on the assertion that he couldnt win the big one. The angle emerged as a result of Zayns failure to win a succession of matches, including his no. 1 contender bout with Tyler Breeze, and the Fatal Fourway NXT Title match involving Breeze, Tyson Kidd, and the champion, Neville. But despite this focus on Zayns various shortcomings, he wasnt nearly as unsuccessful as the storyline suggested. Zayn had already racked up victories over main roster talent including Kidd, Titus ONeil and Justin Gabrielnot to mention scoring the first pinfall just seconds into his excellent 2-out-of-3 falls match with Cesaro. Sure, that may not be a particularly great resume for a superstar from Raw or SmackDown, but within the context of NXT, theyre some pretty impressive wins.
