10 WWE 2016 Spoilers We Already Know

8. Sami Zayn Will Reestablish Himself As The Face Of NXT

There was great disappointment in Sami Zayn's 2015. A shoulder injury sidelined him most of the year and left him to watch as the brand that he previously championed grew exponentially. Back now, recent spoilers indicate that he will be right back in the thick of the NXT Championship hunt in 2016. With that the case, it is only a matter of time before he becomes the first two-time titleholder, reestablishing himself as the face of the brand that he has been so closely associated with over the last two years. With a strong heel in Samoa Joe, and the possibility that Finn Balor will be moving up to the main roster sooner than later (more on that in a bit), Zayn will be leaned on heavily to carry the brand. While some may look at that as a demotion given his performance against John Cena last year on Raw, the Montreal native will continue to thrive as the most sympathetic and beloved male babyface on the roster.
