1. Sami Zayn Once Again A Bridesmaid
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEjJfw6neZU The frustration continues to build inside Sami Zayn. Hes been arguably the most popular superstar in NXT since his debut, however, Zayn can never seem to pull off the big one. Instead, hes frequently the bridesmaid and never the bride. Following last nights loss, Zayn holds a 0-3 record on NXTs WWE Network specials. At Arrival, Zayn was defeated by loss time rival, Cesaro. The two put on a thrilling two out of three falls match, but Zayn couldnt pull the trigger. Then, at the previous incarnation of Takeover, Sami was defeated by Tyler Breeze in singles competition. As for last night, Zayn got pounded on for a great deal of the Fatal 4-Way match, but his never say die spirit kept him in the race. Tyson Kidd dissected the energetic and exciting grappler. Zayn eventually rebounded, taking out every other competitor in the contest. Following a Helluva Kick to Kidd -- and with the match seemingly won -- Zayn went for the pin. The referee slapped the mat once, twice and was pulled out of the ring by Zayns friend, Adrian Neville. The NXT Champion was simply protecting his gold, but again, a victory slipped through Zayns fingers. Following the contest and Nevilles win, Zayn was shown to be physically upset. The frustration, disappointment, and jealousy was written on his face. With Zayn constantly failing to get that truly big victory, will he succumb to his internal pressures and frustrations?
