In the 2017 WWE Royal Rumble, Sami Zayn entered at #8, and lasted for over 47 minutes, before being eliminated by none other than The Undertaker.
Sami Zayn was then traded to WWE SmackDown, after WWE Wrestlemania, during the Superstar Shake-up. He was victorious at WWE Backlash, where he defeated "The Lone Wolf" Baron Corbin. He also emerged victorious at WWE Battleground, where he defeated Mike Kanellis.
Zayn's biggest turn came at WWE Hell In A Cell, where he saved Kevin Owens from an elbow drop by SmackDown Live Commissioner, Shane McMahon, from the top of the cell, and helped Owens pin Shane for the victory. This was the first time Sami Zayn turned heel in his career.
Zayn also played a huge role in the main event of WWE Survivor Series, along with Kevin Owens, by attacking Shane McMahon of Team SmackDown. Zayn also emerged victorious in the tag team match along with Owens at WWE Clash of Champions, where a loss would've got him fired from the entire WWE.
