15 New WWE Talk Show Concepts For 2021 (5 For Each Brand)

Seth Rollins may claim his sermons are gospel, but it's Sami Zayn that regularly speaks truth to power.
For lack of a better description, Zayn has cast himself as the new 'Voice of the Voiceless' and his interview segment would reflect as such. Acting as an advocate for himself and other disenfranchised, underappreciated talent (Hello Cesaro, Nakamura, etc.), providing Sami and other frustrated talent with a platform to air their grievances in a worked shoot format would be just the ticket.
So long as he's content to present himself as The Ginger Generalisimo (trademark pending), Why not have him deliver himself and other mismanaged talent to the masses on a weekly basis? One imagines a rickety burned-out bunkhouse, walls plastered with propaganda-style posters of himself and others in need of better booking while numerous effigies of those in power and superstars getting preferential treatment gather in the corner just waiting to be turned into kindling.
The sheer size of the WWE roster lends itself to countless superstars falling through the cracks. The Powers That Be either lose interest, have nothing for them to do, or bafflingly, forget they're still on the payroll. All due respect to Mustafa Ali and his efforts to turn chicken sh*t into chicken salad but, if given to the right producers, surely a resistance movement led by Zayn and the army of followers he could quickly and, at this point quite easily, assemble would be more effective that whatever RETRIBUTION is doing on Monday Nights, right?
