#2 perfect next step for Zayn

Let's be honest here. Sami Zayn has the kind of heel heat that most Superstars can only dream of right now and WWE would be foolish to waste it on the mid-card for too long. Beyond that, Sami Zayn's push as a top heel has been derailed by several high profile losses, which makes a move like this absolutely needed
Think about it! Sami Zayn was thrown in a dumpster, lost his spot in the Money in the Bank ladder match and has been spinning his wheels in the mid-card for much of his return. If nothing else, this is a logical next step for his character, paints him as the slimiest heel WWE has and also sets up some pretty great possibilities for the future.
In the end, WWE has captured lightning in a bottle with Zayn and would be making a big mistake by now capitalizing on it in this capacity. At least this way, Zayn finally gets the spot he deserves, WWE can use it to boost ratings and they can give Rollins the perfect heel tandem to overcome.
