Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens have feuded in all parts of the world. They have been each other's enemies for a major part of their respective careers and some of the best feuds in 2015 and 2016.

However, in all these angles, Owens was the heel, and Zayn was the babyface. We cannot complain about this since Zayn was a natural babyface while Owens played the role of a bad guy really well. However, a change in dynamics could help WWE to revitalize this never-ending and evergreen feud.

During Owens' WWE title match against Daniel Bryan at Fastlane, Zayn could make a surprise return to cost Owens the title. Such a segment would help WWE to build into yet another Owens - Zayn feud, but this time, with the roles reversed.
