8 New Raw Match-Ups Created By WWE's Superstar Shakeup
7. Dean Ambrose Vs. Sami Zayn
Dean Ambrose and Sami Zayn have always been one of WWE's most entertaining seldom-seen pairings. Their backstage skit about naming their tag teams was low-key comedy gold, while their short interaction at the Royal Rumble again displayed their natural chemistry (if we ignore the part where Zayn was defeated by a small plastic ball).
Should this chemistry translate to in-ring action, we could be in for a treat. The pair could have a barnstormer of a babyface vs. babyface feud, perhaps the sort WWE had in mind when they booked the ill-fated Ziggler/Ambrose rivalry. Then again, Sami seems a perfect fit for SmackDown, and although a move was played down on last night's show, we mustn't overlook WWE's love of misdirection in such moments.
Should Sami stay on Raw, and should WWE actually engineer such a feud between the two, we could see both earn themselves a momentum boost. It could perhaps even lead to Zayn's first main roster championship...
