The story for Sami Zayn to get there should pick up steam at none other than The Royal Rumble, where the Canadian should be the last man standing in the ring. Sami Zayn is that guy and it is time to see him elevated to that position. It’s an area where Sami Zayn has received loud reactions in the few times he’s been allowed to travel there to perform. While a loud contingent of fans complained about Jey Uso’s Royal Rumble win in 2025, it was still a surprising moment. If he is truly going to win a world championship, that path needs to begin with winning the 2026 WWE Royal Rumble.
