5 WWE superstars who should be involved in the title picture in 2017

AJ Styles laid his hands on the WWE title in his very first year as a WWE superstar

#4 Sami Zayn

Sami Zayn has the wherewithal to become a champion

Sami Zayn is undoubtedly one of the most talented superstars in the WWE at present. With a rich history of work for other promotions and a successful NXT run behind him, Zayn became part of the WWE main roster early this year and was drafted to Raw after the brand split.

‘The Underdog From The Underground’ has never directly been in the frame for either of the major WWE titles so far. Although he did have a chance to compete in a fatal four-way match to decide the #1 contender for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in April, a backstage attack by longtime rival Kevin Owens ensured that he was replaced by Cesaro.

In recent times, Sami Zayn has been engaged in a feud with Braun Strowman in a bid to prove that he can overcome the big man. However, we can expect this rivalry to end soon as it has been going on since the post-Survivor Series episode of Raw.

Considering the immense talent that he possesses and his popularity among the fans, the former NXT Champion is likely to receive a major push in the near future and we may see him in the picture for the WWE Universal Championship or the WWE championship at some point in 2017.
