5 Superstars that WWE can't afford to lose

#3 Sami Zayn

One title win is not enough for Sami Zayn!

Sami Zayn is one of the most underappreciated talents in WWE. He is excellent inside the ring and is even better on the mic – a combination that deserves much more appreciation. While the fans have never shied away from showing their interest in watching Zayn in action, the creative has often resorted to keeping him away from in-ring action.

Zayn won his first title of the main roster after Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura helped him beat Braun Strowman in a 3-on-1 Handicap Match for the Intercontinental Championship. He is now seen holding the title but not much has changed for his character. In fact, he is still seen acting as the spokesperson for Cesar and Nakamura – a job that he does really well.

While his segments are still entertaining, it is tough to ignore the fact that lack of matches is making him look weak and is hurting his position on the roster. It would be a shame to see him lose his title without much of a challenge.

WWE have finally done the right thing by putting the Championship on his shoulder and they must make the best use of it to remind the WWE Universe of Zayn’s potential. If not, he might seek a way out of the place that isn’t doing justice to his talents and move on to a place that will do it.
