Sami Zayn thinks he has been robbed of the WWE Intercontinental Championship and several opportunities by the company. The Superstar believes that he deserves justice on WWE SmackDown, and there are several reasons why he should win the Elimination Chamber match at the upcoming pay-per-view.
On SmackDown, Zayn teamed up with King Corbin to defeat Rey and Dominik Mysterio. The victory allowed both men to qualify for the Elimination Chamber match. Cesaro and Daniel Bryan qualified for the bout later in the night. Kevin Owens and Jey Uso will also be part of the said match during the pay-per-view.
The winner of SmackDown's Elimination Chamber contest will get a match against the Universal Champion later on in the pay-per-view. However, the effects of the unforgiving Chamber match will likely keep the winner from beating The Tribal Chief.
Zayn is one of the top Superstars in the match, and WWE must allow him to win the bout and compete against Roman Reigns. Let us know if you agree or disagree with this decision in the comments section below. But before doing that, let's take a look at the five reasons why Zayn should come out as the winner of the Elimination Chamber match on February 21, 2021.
#5 Sami Zayn deserves a big opportunity at WWE Elimination Chamber
On 8th May 2019, Sami Zayn got his last World Championship opportunity in WWE. Zayn competed in a Triple Threat Match against AJ Styles and then WWE Champion, Kofi Kingston. Zayn has not received a top title opportunity for over one and a half years now. Doesn't that sound like a conspiracy?
Zayn received a similar opportunity exactly one year earlier at the 2018 Fastlane event, where he was part of a six-pack challenge. This shows that The Great Liberator has not gotten a one-on-one WWE World Championship opportunity for over two years. Zayn’s last singles match for the WWE Championship came against Jinder Mahal in August 2017.
While Zayn has been in the Intercontinental Championship picture in recent months, he deserves a top title opportunity in WWE. Elimination Chamber could be the perfect place for the Superstar where he could outsmart the other competitors to win the entire contest.
Getting a big title opportunity will help the Superstar get ahead on SmackDown where he is currently portraying a brilliant gimmick. The victory will allow him to compete against Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship later in the night.
Even if Zayn goes on to lose the match against Reigns later in the night, the big opportunity will help him get a massive push and allow him the chance to get in the spotlight.
#4 A victory at WWE Elimination Chamber would help Sami Zayn to add more legitimacy to his gimmick
Sami Zayn’s current gimmick on WWE SmackDown has been fantastic. The Superstar won the WWE Intercontinental Championship at the 2019 Elimination Chamber in a Handicap Match. After a while, he disappeared from WWE television due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, WWE decided to hold another tournament for the title.
Zayn won the title back at the Clash of Champions 2020 and has built upon his Conspiracy Theorist gimmick ever since. Zayn believes that WWE is actively looking to take opportunities away from him, and the 2021 Elimination Chamber pay-per-view could allow him to build upon his gimmick even more.
Allowing Zayn to surprise the WWE Universe and win the Elimination Chamber match, thinking he’s won it all, would be perfect. Roman Reigns could then come out to scare and squash him, taking his big moment away from him in the process.
Zayn could then add more weight to his gimmick, claiming SmackDown and Reigns were in on the conspiracy against him. The entire angle could help WWE to build on a great story.
#3 Sami Zayn could win and steal Kevin Owens' Elimination Chamber opportunity to get into a rivalry with him on the Road to WWE WrestleMania 37
Kevin Owens and Jey Uso will both be a part of the WWE Elimination Chamber match, along with Sami Zayn, King Corbin, Cesaro, and Daniel Bryan.
KO will likely be the favorite to win the match as he has been in a rivalry with Roman Reigns for several weeks now. Meanwhile, Uso is working alongside The Tribal Chief, while none of the other Superstars have had any recent face-offs with the Universal Champion.
At Elimination Chamber, WWE could have Zayn work with Uso to eliminate KO from the match and take the title opportunity away from him. Zayn could then go on to win the contest, and face Reigns later in the night.
The outcome will help WWE take KO out of the rivalry against The Tribal Chief and have him go after his former best friend instead. KO would target Zayn for stealing the opportunity from him, and both men could benefit from their rivalry if it is reignited.
This will allow KO to remain away from the Universal Championship picture on the Road to WrestleMania, and focus on a feud with Zayn. WWE creative could bring him back into the top title picture after WrestleMania is over.
On the other hand, Zayn could do a phenomenal job on the mic and in the ring against The Prizefighter. Both of them already have a pre-established history with each other, and having Zayn steal Owens' opportunity will allow WWE creative to keep both men engaged for some time.
#2 Sami Zayn's one-off opportunity to fight Roman Reigns will be a spontaneous moment at WWE Elimination Chamber
Sami Zayn hasn't been in the WWE World Championship picture for a long time now. He was far away from the Universal Championship scene until SmackDown, where he qualified for the WWE Elimination Chamber match.
Not many fans will be thinking that Zayn will be taking on Roman Reigns at the Elimination Chamber, especially after Kevin Owens appeared to deliver Stunners to everyone on SmackDown. Moreover, fans won't expect WWE to book two different kinds of antagonists against each other in a world title match, that too, on pay-per-view.
Since KO is already in a rivalry with Reigns, WWE could look to host a match between The Tribal Chief and Zayn at Elimination Chamber without needing to extend it for longer.
Jey Uso or someone else could take away the Elimination Chamber opportunity from KO. This angle will also benefit Zayn's character, and it will give fans a different ending from what they might be expecting from the match.
Reigns could then go on to win the match at Elimination Chamber with ease and continue his reign as the Universal Champion while coming across as the top villain amongst all other villains in WWE.
#1 A one-off match against Sami Zayn will allow Roman Reigns to get involved in another rivalry after WWE Elimination Chamber
One of the biggest benefits of having Sami Zayn win the WWE Elimination Chamber match will be giving Roman Reigns a chance to compete later without any shackles.
Kevin Owens has been in a long-running rivalry against The Tribal Chief, and The Prizefighter's victory in the Elimination Chamber match followed by a match against Reigns will likely keep him involved for longer.
A victory for Cesaro or Daniel Bryan would likely prompt the WWE Universe to call for a longer rivalry rather than just one match.
On the other hand, King Corbin has already been a part of several Universal Championship matches in the past, and he has to continue his rivalry against The Mysterios on SmackDown.
Keeping all this in mind, Zayn could be the perfect opponent for Reigns to face just once for the title. After losing against Reigns, Zayn could continue his gimmick as a Conspiracy Theorist and demand a rematch without any outcome.
It looks like Edge will challenge Reigns for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania. Therefore, a one-off match between Reigns and Zayn will allow The Tribal Chief to remain free on the Road to WrestleMania so that Edge could come in and challenge him for a match at The Show of Shows.
