I honestly don't know, even if Vince fell in love with him. I hope he connects with fans, it'd be a good sign. He's not a "look at how perfect he is" alpha face, so he at least has that over Reigns, plus he's great in the ring so I know he's not going to be booed. But he is a generally pleasant and kind hearted character, not what you'd call "edgy"- so are we sure that won't f*** him with some older crowds once he's facing darker characters like Wyatt or Ambrose, or once the Owens feud gets into high gear? Feuding with dark characters like Wyatt and Kane, or "cool heels" like The Authority hasn't hurt Bryan any, at least in terms of keeping the crowd on his side. It helps that the part of the crowd that normally cheers for those types also happens to be his biggest supporters. I think the same will prove true for Zayn if presented correctly. |

World champ within two years. Just like Punk, just like Bryan.

Just get him some new tights and he'll be on a rocket to the top. All those flags - ugly!

It has recently dawned on me that ... and this is a radical thought, Im aware... the folks at World Wrestling Entertainment focus more on marketability and size than actual athletic/wrestling ability and charisma. With this insider information in mind, my assumption is a midcard title IF the crowd really gets behind him.

As it stands right now, I think he is an upper mid card/IC/US Title level guy. Much like Bryan, he needs to find his "Yes", a hook, some thing will make people want to see him before he even steps through the curtain. I don't know if it lies in SKA, Ole or something yet unknown but if he can find that, he can easily be World Champ. Just get him some new tights and he'll be on a rocket to the top. All those flags - ugly! He hasn't worn those in weeks. I kinda hope he replace the flags with the titles he has won in WWE. |

If he develops some more gimmick, champion.
If he is just Sami Zayn, Internet guy, not too far.

Barring bad luck, as far as he damn well pleases. To give an idea of just how talented he is, Chris Hero was having a conversation with Paul Heyman while the 2/3 Falls Cesaro vs Zayn match was on. Action spills to the outside, and while Heyman is talking, Zayn leaps through the ropes in the corner for a tornado DDT on Cesaro. Paul Heyman stops mid-speech and just watches, stunned. Zayn made Paul Heyman, notorious motor-mouth who has been in the business virtually his entire adult life, who has seen just about everything you can see in the squared circle, awestruck and speechless. Haha wow where can I see/hear this? |

As much as it pains me to say..
Daniel Bryan levels of fan love, but never gets higher up the card than Wade Barrett..

And this is why the idea that Cesaro wasn't a "real Paul Heyman Guy" is off-base. He was, just for whatever reason Heyman was told/chose to focus on Lesnar rather than Cesaro, and they didn't like the idea that Heyman could manage a face and a heel at the same time, so turned Cesaro to compensate. |
