Sami Zayn was the main man when he wrestled at WWE NXT. He provided NXT with some great moments and his match with Shinsuke Nakamura at NXT TakeOver: Dallas is considered as one of the best matches NXT has ever produced. When Sami Zayn made his official WWE debut against John Cena, fans thought that he will do something amazing, but that never happened. Until now, Zayn has participated in sixteen televised singles matches and he has won only one. Though he does a good job of being the spokesperson of the Intercontinental Champion, fans believe that his wrestling talents are just too good to be sacrificed for his current role.

“With regards to NXT, Sami Zayn is still the favourite name I’m hearing, but there is a lot of discussion about that, so I can say for certain. There is a level of people that are interested in bringing him back to NXT, people who have been there before, people who have a lot to add,” said Tom Colohue from Sportskeeda.
