Megastar returns after 50 days?: 4 possible partners for Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens against Imperium on WWE RAW

Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens will lock horns with Imperium on this week's WWE RAW to avenge their defeat from last Monday. Gunther's faction caused a distraction during the main event and allowed Finn Balor and Damian Priest to pick up a massive win against the reigning Undisputed Tag Team Champions.

The KO-Zayn team hasn't revealed their partner for tonight's three-man tag team bout. They need a solid babyface that can stand up to The Ring General while they take care of Giovanni Vinci and Ludwig Kaiser.

A bunch of superstars can rise to the occasion. On that note, here are four possible partners for KO and Zayn against Imperium on WWE RAW.

#4 Mustafa Ali needs to kickstart his rivalry with Gunther for the Intercontinental Championship

Night of Champions will mark Mustafa Ali's first premium live event match in over 11 months. He'll challenge for the Intercontinental Championship after winning a Battle Royal last week. Support for the crowd favorite will be at its peak, but Triple H has to build tension between Ali and Gunther to make the upcoming contest exciting.

Ali has been on-and-off television recently, which could affect his credibility as a title contender. One solution is to book him to compete against Imperium on WWE RAW alongside Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. The former Retribution leader can even shockingly pin The Ring General in the trios match, the first to do so in years.

#3 Matt Riddle vs. Gunther could be in the making

Matt Riddle hasn't had a shot at Gunther's Intercontinental Championship

The Original Bro has had a vivid history with Gunther, which dates back to 2017. He won against The Ring General multiple times in high-profile matches in Progress Wrestling. Unfortunately, Matt Riddle hasn't faced his former rival in WWE's main roster so far.

Even though Mustafa Ali is the next challenger for the Intercontinental Championship, WWE could brew a side storyline between Riddle and Gunther. It will likely begin after a clinical victory over Imperium on WWE RAW. Kevin Owens has teamed with Riddle multiple times, putting up good performances. Hence, the company can go ahead with their tried-and-tested pairing.

#2 Cody Rhodes has an amicable history with Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn

A familiar face could be joining Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn on WWE RAW. Cody Rhodes was a game-changer for the Undisputed Tag Team Champions during their feud against The Bloodline. The formidable trio might reunite again to bring down Imperium, who apparently made a deal with Paul Heyman last week.

The American Nightmare squared up against Gunther during the 2023 Men's Royal Rumble Match. They put on a stunning show to not be the last man eliminated, trading blows and teasing a future feud. The creative could book the two stars against each other again, this time in a three-man tag team bout.

#1 Drew McIntyre could return on WWE RAW in an emphatic manner

Drew McIntyre, who hasn't been active on social media, recently gave a potential hint about his return to WWE RAW. It seems he is gunning for the spot alongside Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn to resume his feud with the reigning Intercontinental Champion.

The Scottish Warrior last wrestled Gunther and Sheamus at WrestleMania 39. He has since disappeared from television and hasn't even responded to being drafted to the red brand. Time is running out on his contract, so the chances of McIntyre returning in the next few weeks if not tonight, are high.

McIntyre has every reason to hunt down The Ring General. He came close to winning at 'Mania but was seemingly robbed of the title due to Sheamus. The former Intercontinental Champion can renew his rivalry with Gunther and later demand a one-on-one contest if the latter wins against Ali on Saturday.
