3 WWE Superstars who had a forgettable 2019

#2 Sami Zayn

Sami Zayn didn't achieve much in 2019

Make no mistake about it, Sami Zayn is one of the most gifted individuals in WWE. The former NXT Champion has a lot to offer, both as a character and an in-ring performer. In spite of all that, Zayn has been under-utilized and overlooked on the main roster.

His days on the pinnacle of NXT seem like a lifetime ago. 2019 didn't do Zayn much favors, in fact, it was probably a year he would want to forget. Zayn was sitting on the sidelines till WrestleMania and made an unannounced return on the night after the PPV. He came back with a much stronger hatred and abomination for the WWE Universe and he wasn't afraid to voice his opinions on them, much to their chagrin.

However, upon his return, Zayn went on a losing streak. The former NXT Champion lost to the likes of Finn Balor, Rey Mysterio, and Cedric Alexander. He fell down the pecking order very quickly and was unable to build any momentum whatsoever. The only positive for Zayn in 2019 was that he was able to forge an alliance with the current Intercontinental Champion, Shinsuke Nakamura.

Zayn hasn't done much wrestling since aligning himself with Nakamura. He does all the talking for the King of Strong Style. The alliance has been beneficial to both, but I still feel that it is a waste of Zayn's innumerable attributes and undeniable charisma.
