Sami Zayn has been on the main roster for several years now but hasn't been used as effectively as he was during his time in NXT. The Underdog from the Underground was first promoted to the main roster back in 2015 as a former NXT Champion and was expected to do incredible things following promotion.

Sadly that wasn't the case for Zayn, whose career has been plagued with injuries, and instead, last night was the first time he was able to lift a title in five years. The former Champion needed the help of Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura in a handicap match to win the Intercontinental Championship at the expense of Braun Strowman, but it was still a moment that created an interesting statistic.

Zayn's win now means that every WWE star who was NXT Champion before 2018 has gone on to win another WWE Championship on the main roster. This includes every Champion from the beginning of the brand with Seth Rollins through to Andrade.
