Sami Zayn shocked the world back in June when he pinned Cody Rhodes to win the Undisputed WWE Championship for the first time in his career at Night of Champions. Unfortunately for Sami Zayn his first title reign only lasted nine days as CM Punk returned and beat Sami to win the title on Raw in Chicago.
In September, Sami Zayn shocked the world once again when he defeated CM Punk to win the Undisputed WWE Championship for the second time in his career, and he is still currently holding the title. While Sami has been able to hold onto the title for a much longer run this time around, it’s clear that his title reign will have to end at some point, and Penta is a looming threat thanks to his Money in the Bank contract.
Dave Meltzer speculated on a recent episode of Wrestling Observer Radio that Sami Zayn could end up dropping the Undisputed WWE Championship to Penta, as WWE wants to protect Roman Reigns until it’s time for him to feud with Oba Femi.
“It only makes sense for Penta to beat Sami Zayn. I mean, ain’t been. I don’t think. I don’t see him beating Roman Reigns. That doesn’t. It doesn’t seem that they want to [beat] Roman Reigns until Oba Femi comes around.”
Roman Reigns has successfully defended his World Heavyweight Championship against several of WWE’s top stars since he first won the title at WrestleMania 42 back in April. It’s heavily rumored that WWE is planning Roman Reigns vs. Oba Femi for WrestleMania 43, so it will make sense that Penta might direct his attention elsewhere.
Who do you think Sami should cash in on, Roman or Penta? Sound off in the comments below.
