WWE Royal Rumble 2024: Predicting All 30 Entrants

16. Sami Zayn (#15)

Like Shinsuke Nakamura, Sami Zayn's flirtations with the bigger belts in WWE are likely over for a while. 2022-2023 was kind to him, but now Sami will have to busy himself with midcard business heading into 2024. That's fine, because he's so versatile that Zayn will make the best of whatever Triple H hands him.

Seeing him save LA Knight and even the odds during the Rumble sounds like a hoot.

Ultimately, Sami can be cannon fodder in the match for someone on the Bloodline side (yep, WWE will return to that briefly). Again, he can still contribute to the bout and get his customary big pop from the live crowd though.
