To continue proving himself, Zayn intends to beat GUNTHER and end his record-breaking run with the WWE Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 40.

“Maybe I’m just one of those people that will always kind of be counted out a little bit,” Zayn continued. “But I’ve learned to make it work for myself throughout my career, so it’s not the first time I’ve been told, ‘You can’t.’ And I also don’t think it’ll be the first time I prove people wrong, because I think that title’s coming home to me in Philadelphia.”

Last year, Zayn and Kevin Owens defeated Jimmy and Jey Uso for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship in the main event on the first night of WrestleMania 39. In the months before that event, Zayn’s relationship with The Bloodline was the hottest storyline in the company, eventually leading to a world title match against Roman Reigns in Montreal, Quebec, Canada at WWE Elimination Chamber — a match that Zayn lost.
