With WrestleMania 37 being only a few days away, it is time to get excited for the first WWE show that will feature a live crowd in over a year. Several matches on the card are pretty compelling, with one of the bouts pitting Sami Zayn against his former best friend, Kevin Owens. Their match will take place on Night Two of WrestleMania.

Both of them are always entertaining together as allies and foes. Even with Logan Paul's presence, their WrestleMania match promises to be an exciting affair.

The YouTube star was Zayn's special guest during a red carpet segment for the trailer premiere of his conspiracy documentary. Logan Paul will play a part at WrestleMania, possibly as the special guest referee for Owens and Zayn's match.

Alternatively, Logan may simply hang out at ringside to offer support to his new friend. How will his involvement affect the match between Owens and Zayn?

Several outcomes are possible, some of which could make for memorable WrestleMania moments. Here are five possible finishes for Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn at WrestleMania 37.


#5 Logan Paul helps Sami Zayn win at WrestleMania 37

Whether as a referee or an enforcer, Logan Paul will likely influence the outcome of the match between Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens. He was invited to SmackDown by The Great Liberator, which instantly associated him with a heel. The two of them could conspire against KO.

The YouTuber may claim to be fair and impartial at WrestleMania, only to show his true colors at The Show of Shows. As a result, Logan would help Zayn cheat to win, possibly extending their partnership. If nothing else, this booking decision would benefit WWE in terms of getting eyes on the product.

Moreover, Sami Zayn has been an incredible presence on SmackDown. Ever since his return in August, he has been on fire. The two-time Intercontinental Champion has delivered in the ring and especially on the microphone. A victory at WrestleMania would be quite the reward for his great work.

Zayn could also premiere his documentary in full-length following a potential victory at WrestleMania. Kevin Owens could also attack Logan Paul after the match to regain some momentum. The live crowd would enjoy seeing KO stun the internet celebrity.

#4 Kevin Owens runs through Sami Zayn and Logan Paul at WrestleMania 37

Kevin Owens will probably get his hands on Logan Paul at WrestleMania, irrespective of the outcome. A more favorable outcome would be for the former Universal Champion to run through the heels. KO could benefit from a strong win at The Show of Shows, with Sami Zayn being the perfect fodder.

The YouTube star could try and help Zayn to gain an advantage, only for Owens to fight back and overcome them. It would be a great showcase of KO's fighting spirit, giving him another big WrestleMania moment.

Kevin Owens has gotten the better of Sami Zayn for most of their storied rivalry in WWE, with the former usually playing the heel. A role reversal should not change that fact. The WrestleMania crowd will likely give Owens one hell of a reception as he marches on his way to a solid babyface victory.

Zayn's character is set up perfectly to lose in such a manner, even with Logan Paul by his side. It would somehow further the agenda of his documentary. Will his celebrity friend stick around even after a defeat, though?

#3 Logan Paul accidentally costs Sami Zayn the match at WrestleMania 37

Instead of being thwarted by Kevin Owens at WrestleMania, Logan Paul could play an inadvertent role in his victory. He may end up costing Sami Zayn the match after attempting to help him win. The tale of miscommunication is always an easy story to tell in WWE.

Following the defeat, Zayn could berate the YouTube star. He may even attack the internet celebrity to receive a wave of cheers from the WrestleMania crowd. However, in such a scenario, Logan will likely knock the WWE Superstar out and stand tall. After all, he is also a boxer.

WWE has already planted seeds for their potential fallout, with a little tease on SmackDown. Also, having the celebrity pose and stand tall at WrestleMania will garner significant mainstream publicity from this match between Owens and Zayn.

It may not be the most ideal outcome, but The Great Liberator would make it work to perfection.

He could sell this as a complete travesty of justice, further entertaining WWE fans. As weird as it sounds, Sami Zayn would actually benefit from being knocked out by Logan Paul.

#2 Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn execute a double turn at WrestleMania 37

A double turn is a bold idea WWE could execute at WrestleMania 37, although it seems quite unlikely. The last double turn in the company featured Kevin Owens, as he turned face after being assaulted by Bobby Lashley in October 2018.

KO's upcoming match with Sami Zayn is the first between the pair in their current personas, a fresh chapter in their storied rivalry. However, WWE could bring it all back to square one with Zayn as the face and Owens as the heel. Their feud in NXT began with KO turning heel on his debut.

He has shown some intensity and attitude recently, which would make a heel turn for him an easy prospect. However, Zayn's potential babyface turn will be a challenge for WWE. Zayn is fully engaged in his "conspiracy theory" persona and seems to be doing the most entertaining work of his WWE career as a heel.

It would be interesting to see how WWE pulls off a double turn if it does happen at WrestleMania.

After the event, Kevin Owens will do just fine since he has always been better as a heel anyway. Sami Zayn could revert to his original underdog babyface gimmick, brushing off the conspiracy theories on the company as a period of crisis.

#1 Kevin Owens defeats Sami Zayn after a high-risk move off the pirate ship at WrestleMania 37

With WrestleMania 37 happening at Raymond James Stadium, WWE must incorporate the pirate ship into the action. It seems like a much taller ship will be present on the stage. The one superstar who has to jump off the structure is Kevin Owens.

The former Universal Champion has turned into WWE's resident risk-taker in the past couple of years, executing some crazy moves from massive structures. Owens' jump onto Seth Rollins from atop the WrestleMania sign at last year's event stands out in this regard.

The company can always add a last-minute stipulation for his match against Sami Zayn, so it can feature such a spot during the match. There are multiple options regarding what KO will do from the pirate ship at WrestleMania. The obvious answer would be him jumping onto Zayn, and possibly Logan Paul, to pick up the victory.

Another option sees Owens power-bombing Zayn off the ship. This could happen after the match as well, resulting in a huge WrestleMania moment.

The best-case scenario would be KO power-bombing the YouTube star off the stage, as he did to Machine Gun Kelly on an episode of RAW in 2015. It would instantly result in one of the biggest pops of the night, as would any pirate ship-related spot.

Hopefully, Kevin Owens gets to execute a move off the structure at WrestleMania. That's all he's wanted to do for over a year. Sami Zayn being on the receiving end of the high-risk spot is the cherry on top.
