It took Sami Zayn 4 years after his RAW debut to finally win his first title on the main roster. It was at Elimination Chamber when he beat Braun Strowman in a 3-on-1 handicap match to become the Intercontinental Champion. He had one of the biggest matches of his career at WrestleMania 36 when he took on Daniel Bryan.

Daniel Bryan's partner Drew Gulak had lost to Cesaro in the Kickoff show and the two veterans Bryan and Zayn would have one of the better matches of the night. We expected Daniel Bryan to beat Zayn and win the title, as it would seem like an apt time to have a title change.

However, Sami Zayn managed to beat Bryan with a Helluva Kick out of nowhere. It was his first singles match in over 6 months and he managed to secure a victory over Bryan at WrestleMania.

It's taken four years, but Sami Zayn could be on his way to a big singles push in the near future. We can see a babyface turn in the cards.
