When was the last time Sami Zayn was close to winning the title?
Sami Zayn was at the peak of his WWE career just a year back, when he featured in the Bloodline storyline, where after months of cajoling he turned on Roman Reigns. At the Elimination Chamber 2023, where he main evented the main title match against Roman Reigns in his hometown Montreal, Canada, he was just a few inches away from winning the WWE Championship.
Zayn looked like the perfect character to beat Roman Reigns for the championship, and even the fans had high hopes for him. But this didn’t happen as Reigns successfully retained the title by outside interference of Solo Sikoa. He, however, teamed up with Kevin Owens and later won the WWE Tag Team Championships against The Usos at WrestleMania 39.
Even though the duo lost their titles to the Judgement Day a few months later. However, WrestleMania 40 turned out to be more special for him, as he dethroned Gunther to win the Intercontinental Championship for the third time in his career. We’ll see in the future if Sami Zayn becomes Triple H’s favorite to win the WWE Championship.
