Sami Zayn got a stay of execution during his trial on WWE Raw’s 30th Anniversary episode and it appears there are big plans to come.
With much of Zayn’s story currently revolving around continually improving himself whilst Kevin Owens tries to make him see sense, reports of plans for WrestleMania have been revealed.
Dave Meltzer addressed the rumors on Wrestling Observer Radio, stating:
“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.”

With recent reports that The Rock is unlikely to be available or ready for WrestleMania 39, Meltzer had also reported that WWE is reluctant to have anybody defeat Roman Reigns, and that would have included The Great One himself.
