Sami Zayn just might do it. He’s a living legend in Saudi Arabia, and Drew McIntyre is prone to being humiliated in big match world title situations. Sami Zayn might just be WWE Champion by this time next week.

Zayn didn’t exactly go into SNME as an underdog, but with two easy pinfalls in Trick Williams and Damian Priest, it felt like Randy Orton was one or two RKOs from punching his ticket to Riyadh. But Sami Zayn did the near-impossible and bested Randy Orton on a show run by Paul Levesque. Obviously, Zayn could be in a position to really get some heat on Drew McIntyre. Crushing Zayn’s dreams in Saudi Arabia would definitely cement his status as a heel world champion.

But for now, the skies are clear, the Rumble venue has been suspiciously finished being built in record time, and Zayn could be just days away from finally becoming a world champion in WWE. If he does, especially in Riyadh, the ovation is going to be one of the biggest pops in the history of this weird little artform we all follow.
