5 Things that must happen in WWE this January

#4 Sami Zayn returns as a babyface, challenges Bobby Lashley

Sami Zayn should not be a heel when he returns from injury

Alongside Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn is also expected to be back in action very soon. We'd seen vignettes of his return on the RAW after TLC. Remember that the last program that Zayn worked before he left was against Bobby Lashley.

While that feud was marred by Lashley's 'sisters' who all turned out to be cross-dressers, WWE has a chance to make things right after Zayn returns. Zayn is usually a crowd favourite and Lashley has now become a heel. Sami Zayn needs to return as a babyface and take Bobby Lashley out for good.
