WWE Survivor Series 2017: Early Predictions For Team Owens Vs. Team Shane Participants
3. Team Shane - Sami Zayn
Zayn is another lost soul of SmackDown Live. So lost, in-fact, that there are rumours of him returning to Raw after the Canadian was seen advertised for the No Mercy pay-per-view.
His move to Tuesday nights was supposed to bring Zayn in from the wilderness, but he has found himself with less direction than he had prior to the Superstar Shake-Up.
A move back to Raw is not the answer. Zayn would face even more competition for the spotlight. Besides, while he is on the same show as Owens, he has something to do.
Zayn is KO’s mortal enemy. NXT, Raw, SmackDown, wherever; they are destined to fight forever. The pair have amazing chemistry and their backstory has been painted beautifully.
Logically, the Quebec-born high flyer would be the first person who Shane turns to when forming his team. Who knows Owens better than his former best friend?
His gimmick also makes Zayn perfect for playing the role of underdog if the heels have the numbers advantage and he is one of the last men standing on Team Shane.
