5 superstars that could have replaced Baron Corbin as United States Champion for Survivor Series 2017

#3 Sami Zayn

Sami Zayn is one the best wrestlers on the blue brand and shockingly without a single a championship to his name

Plain and simple, Sami Zayn is one of the best wrestlers in the entirety of WWE. And it is surprising to realise that he has never won a single championship on the main roster. Despite producing excellent matches against the likes of John Cena and Kevin Owens, WWE continuously overlooked Zayn. Thus at Hell in a Cell 2017, the creative team finally acknowledged his main roster misfortunes.

After enduring in the undercard for so many years, Zayn finally turned heel. Sami Zayn’s shocking actions have positively reshaped his WWE career. A new purpose, new drive and being the new United States Champion would’ve been significant to Zayn’s resurgence. Zayn vs The Miz would have been a much more interesting heel dynamic match, than Corbin vs The Miz. With Kevin Owens and The Mizntourage in their respective partner's corners. This would be a fascinating all heel showdown.

Heel vs Heel encounters in the modern era of wrestling can work. As 'cool' heels are given more adulation from the crowd than babyfaces. Look no further than the “prize-fighter” Kevin Owens himself. Owens sarcastic personality often gets the crowd in his favour, as the WWE universe realise he is excellent at what he does. Zayn’s has the ability to put on a classic in the squared circle and The Miz’s has resolved to rise to the occasion. This encounter would’ve left wrestling aficionados satisfied.
