3 ways by which Sami Zayn can get a main event match at WWE WrestleMania 39

Sami Zayn was involved in a storyline with Roman Reigns and The Bloodline faction for months. At last on WWE's Royal Rumble show, the "Honorary Uce" turned on Reigns and received a beatdown for his troubles. The storyline has turned Zayn into a huge fan favorite. Zayn finally sever ties with The Bloodline and the entire angle was exceptionally executed but left fans wondering what was next for the now-former Honorary Uce as The Show of Shows looms large.

Zayn facing Roman Reigns one-on-one would make the most sense, but all signs point to that being the Elimination Chamber main event in Montreal while Cody Rhodes challenges Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at 'Mania instead. Here we will talk about how Zayn can get a chance to be in action in a main-event match at WrestleMania 39.

At WWE Elimination Chamber, Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns will look to destroy Sami Zayn in front of his former "Honorary Uce's" home crowd in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The end of Friday’s SmackDown saw Reigns telling Zayn he’d see him in Montreal on February 18 after Zayn had challenged him earlier in the segment. The show ended with Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa attacking Zayn.

Zayn turned on Reigns at the Royal Rumble last weekend after Reigns attempted to get Zayn to attack Kevin Owens with a steel chair. Zayn instead used the chair on Reigns, leading the rest of the Bloodline (minus Jey) to attack Zayn. The rivalry might continue to WrestleMania as both wrestlers has a massive fanbase.

2. Sami Zayn spearheads "The Ucey Movement"

WWE former champion Daniel Bryan adopted this methodology on The Road to WrestleMania 30, where he started "The Yes Movement." A massive sea of Bryan's fans hijacked the rings as the arena resonated with "Yes" chants to force the then WWE COO Triple H to give Bryan what he wanted.

Zayn could use a similar route with his "Ucey Movement." The problem here is that there needs to be an oppressive authority figure involved in such narratives. In Bryan's case, the Authority was a significant roadblock. For Kofi Kingston, it was a stubborn Vince McMahon.

Cody Rhodes outlasted 29 other Superstars to win the 2023 men's Royal Rumble on Saturday night, punching his ticket to potentially face Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania 39.

The fact that the company has confirmed Rhodes vs. Reigns has somewhat taken luster away from a rumored showdown against Sami Zayn. Rhodes could face Zayn in a high-stakes match-up. This could happen on either RAW or SmackDown, with massive implications for Mania. The twist of the tale is that if the former NXT star wins, he will be inserted into the main event of The Show of Shows.
