Backstage News On Long Term Plans For Sami Zayn’s Storyline With Roman Reigns

Sami Zayn officially joined The Bloodline last year and since then Zayn has gone on to become one of the most popular stars in WWE. The Bloodline storyline has taken Sami Zayn’s career to new heights which has made some fans wonder if a title shot could be in his future.

Dave Meltzer discussed the long term plan for Zayn on Wrestling Observer Radio and noted that the goal all along has been to make Sami and Kevin Owens into bigger stars. The original plan was not for Sami Zayn to face Roman Reigns at WrestleMania, and as of a couple weeks ago that was not the idea.

“The goal from the Roman Reigns standpoint all along has been to make Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn into stars – bigger stars (than they already are). And that’s actually worked. But obviously, the original plan was not Sami Zayn (to face Reigns at WrestleMania), and even as late as a couple of weeks ago, they were trying to find something to not be Sami Zayn.

“This was not the long term plan of, ‘Roman Reigns/Sami Zayn WrestleMania main event’. The plan was not Sami Zayn becomes a superstar, the plan was just do a few key things with Sami Zayn then we’ll ditch him and get rid of him, and because it clicked, to their credit, they saw that it clicked and it was like, ‘Well let’s make him a star this year, or this season’, and that’s what happened.”
