Sami Zayn - What happened?

[Captain Stud Muffin (BLM)]

Brother man has been spinning his wheels since he defeated Owens last month. Couldn't of told me the dude who has some of the best matches this year wouldn't be on the card for Summerslam. 

We all thought pre draft him and Owens will be on separate shows and in hindsight he could of been in the thick of things in IC hunt if drafted to Smackdown

I guess it's not the end of the world, but he was really on fire after that match. The hottest he's been on the main roster.

[Lupin the Third]

I blame the guys in the back not knowing what the hell to do with somebody as hot with the crowd right now as Sami Zayn. I think him and Cesaro should be on Smackdown right now.

[The Summer of Muskrat XVII]

Do find it kind of odd that they aren't really doing anything with him right now, but I imagine that'll change after SummerSlam due to the brand exclusive PPV's. There's no way he can't be used in a major role on those.

Just no heels free in the midcard on Raw right now, I guess. I'm assuming Reigns is going to lose in some way to lead into his next feud - I'm thinking Triple H - and then Rusev / Zayn will come up from there.

You'd think after Daniel Bryan they would learn that organic crowd reaction can lead to some true underdog babyface characters, the fact they haven't learned a damn thing is actually terrifying.

[Texas Tornado]

Raw happened.

Waiting on the KO face turn or the Cruiserweight Division, which ever hits first.

[The Yes Man]

He should have gotten Apollo Crews spot on SummerSlam.

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

He'll either be the next #1 US Contender or starting a tag team angle with Owens.

[Stone Coke Miami Watson 🥃]

Too Asian...

[Paco]

Yet Miz vs. Crews is happening...

This draft was a disaster.

[CATCH_US IS the Conversation]

They have no idea what to do with Sami Zayn other than fighting Kevin Owens forever.

[DZ: WF Legacy]

He's the ultimate guy Vince doesn't understand. He's a normal dude.

He's Daniel Bryan 2.0. I hope they strike when the iron is hot this time...

[CH Punk]

They must have had an idea for him before Battleground (hence the win there) and plans got changed because it makes no sense to have him win a big blow off and then do nothing. At the very least, they'll use him for something at Clash of Champions.

They're keeping his theme title in mind, "Worlds Apart".

[RIHT]

Too many singles matches at Summerslam. There should have been at least one triple threat/fatal four-way or something.

Stephanie had to have all the shiny toys despite not wanting to play with most of them.
