5 current WWE Superstars who would thrive as commentators

#4 Sami Zayn

One of the most unfiltered mouths in WWE today.

As somebody whose in-ring days in WWE are sparse, Sami Zayn has spent more and more time on commentary over the past few months. The former Intercontinental Champion spent that time managing Shinsuke Nakamura and Cesaro, showcasing his incredible range of performance within the company.

Zayn's ability to garner heel heat through his words made the act a success, but it remains to be seen whether he returns to WWE in the same role. The 'Great Liberator' can cut some scorching promos and doesn't really shy away from speaking his mind, as seen by his recent interactions with Michael Cole at the booth.

These qualities make Zayn a tremendous fit for commentary, particularly as the heel of the team. He is very articulate in his words, often coming across as smart and honest. That is what we want from WWE commentators, along with an aptitude for constantly putting Superstars over.

Sami Zayn had been doing just that every week on SmackDown, hyping up Nakamura at every opportunity. He would be the perfect heel color commentator if he ever switched over to the booth.
