5 WWE Superstars who stole the show at Elimination Chamber 2020

#4 Sami Zayn

Braun Strowman’s title reign as the Intercontinental Champion came to an end at Elimination Chamber after he suffered defeat in a 3-on-1 Handicap Match. Although you would expect more from the Monster Among Men, it’s his obsession with Sami Zayn that cost him his title. Zayn, on the other hand, managed to walk out as the Intercontinental Champion – picking up his first title on the WWE main roster.

Zayn, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Cesaro had tricked Strowman into signing the contract that would have him defend his title against all three of them at the PPV. An irked Strowman was desperate to get his hands on Zayn, which proved to be beneficial for his opponents. At several points during the match, the Monster Among Men ended up jeopardizing himself while mindlessly chasing Zayn.

Cesaro and Nakamura did well in making use of every chance they had to assert dominance over Strowman. Zayn, being the opportunist that he is, then went on to take advantage and shocked the WWE Universe with his Helluva Kick that sealed the victory for him. Now that he has won his first singles title on the main roster, we hope that Sami Zayn will be used to his potential.
