With the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reporting that Sami Zayn is scheduled to join WWE's main roster and participate in a match at WrestleMania 32, excitement is running high - and most fans believe there can be no better opponent for the former NXT Champion than Kevin Owens. Owens debuted in NXT the night Sami Zayn won the brand's championship and immediately attacked his best friend, emerging as the challenger for Zayn's title. Owens soon beat Zayn for the belt, and a rematch was scheduled. Unfortunately, Zayn suffered a freak injury, and the program was cut short... until he attacked Owens in the Royal Rumble and eliminated him from the match. In the spirit of great Intercontinental Title bouts at WrestleManias past, Zayn and Owens need to settle their issues at the show of shows, this time with a new championship on the line. It's a story more than a year in the making, and a blowoff on April 3 could do a lot for Zayn, Owens, and WrestleMania 32.
