Major AEW Star Says Sami Zayn Should Main Event WrestleMania 39

WWE

Former AEW World Champion Chris Jericho believes that Sami Zayn should face Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39.

Ahead of the April event, Sami Zayn’s storyline with the Bloodline faction appears to be reaching a climax.

Following the Tribal Court segment that took place on the January 23 edition of Raw, there has been a lot of speculation surrounding a potential Roman Reigns vs Sami Zayn match for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.

Zayn is only one of a few stars who WWE appear to have set up for a title bout, with there also being rumors about Cody Rhodes or The Rock challenging for Reigns’ gold at WrestleMania.

In an interview with the Daily Star, Chris Jericho noted that if he was in charge of creative, he’d have Zayn defeat Reigns for the gold at the Show of Shows.

Discussing the rivalry, Jericho noted:

“I don’t watch WWE just from a time standpoint, but I follow, and I think that story is awesome because it’s organic. They didn’t plan it to be that big.

“Sami is the perfect example of an organic character that the fans made into a star, and I think it all started last year at WrestleMania with the Johnny Knoxville match at WrestleMania which was brilliant.

“That’s when he finally became Sami Zayn, and if I was booking WWE, the main event of WrestleMania would be Roman Reigns vs Sami Zayn and Sami goes over.

“You can bring in Rock, you can put Cody in the position and bring in Austin, but much like Jericho and Owens, Sami and Roman is the story that’s been grown and built.

“The pay-off needs to be Sami winning. That’s what I would do.”
