We all know at this stage that 'The Underdog of the Underground' Sami Zayn is booked for the 12th March WWE Roadblock event. This has led to speculation that Zayn may be appearing at Roadblock to set up a potential WrestleMania 32 match with WWE Intercontinental Champion Kevin Owens but even though both man are scheduled to fight, it may not be against each other as it has been reported that Owens may be defending his title in a multi-man match.
Zayn in 6-Man Match at WrestleMania 32!
A six-man battle royal seems to be the most logical choice but if rumors are to be believed, Owens' long-time rival from NXT, Sami Zayn, could be involved in trying to pry away the title from “The Prizefighter” in the multi-person match which will also continue their feud from their days in NXT.
The Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn Story So Far!!!!
NXT R Evolution opened with the debut of Kevin Owens, who defeated CJ Parker in an impressive performance. Owens later came out to congratulate Zayn on his championship victory. The entire roster followed, and they hoisted Zayn on their shoulders for a feel good moment. They then decided to head to the back only for Kevin Owens to stab his best friend in the back, viciously assaulting him.
Zayn and Owens knew each other before their time in the WWE. They were partners in Ring of Honor as El Generico and Kevin Steen, respectively. They also fought before Zayn and Owens eventually moved on to NXT.
They had amazing matches heightened further by their story. It’s a fundamental storyline in the wrestling world: former best friends fight. It worked before in the WWE on numerous occasions, for just the sheer storytelling power that this kind of storyline has. Hogan v Savage and Triple H v HBK, these feuds rank amongst some of WWE’s best and to this point in time Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens have put on one hell of a show and this has the potential to be a gold mine for WWE as this feud finally heads towards a collision course on the main roster.
