![]() This is a classic example of booking yourself into a corner. We’ve seen this story already the only direction left to go is a Sasha victory, which is the wrong direction. Nia Jaxīarry Hess: Nia Jax needs to be on this card as she continues to ascend the ranks of the Women’s Division, but I wish her opponent was someone other than Sasha Banks. I expect an incredible match, but Joe is going to brutalize Zayn. Zayn is WWE’s monster builder for the time being, and he’s going to be a big reason why Samoa Joe will be such a big deal. Prediction: Samoa JoeĪlex Wendland: This is Sami Zayn’s job now: he picks a valiant fight, throws a few great haymakers in the build and has a four-plus star match to blow it off. Should be a fun match that’s probably shorter than we’d all like, but Samoa Joe wins. It’s not here nor with the former Braun Strowman story, so he looks like an idiot. The only problem is with that kind of character, their talent is supposed to win out. Sami Zayn is supposed to be a beloved scrappy fighting above his head underdog.

Either way he’s significantly more interesting than Zayn right now. Joe is a hired gun who refuses to accept he’s a hired gun or maybe he’s hired gun with the exit strategy his predecessors failed to devise. It’s difficult to argue against Zayn’s current booking if he’s not going anywhere there’s no reason for him to be winning matches right now. You can view him as an underdog if you please, but in a Barry Horowitz kind of way, not a Daniel Bryan kind of way. Zayn is now in the role of sacrificial lamb more so than an underdog.

It feels like a decade’s worth of creative separates these two characters just one year later.
