Sami Zayn was 100% certain he would be facing Roman Reigns in the main event of WrestleMania 39.
The position would end up going to Cody Rhodes in the end, but Sami Zayn still got his match with The Tribal Chief at WWE Elimination Chamber 2023. He would lose the match in the end but had an incredible homecoming in Montreal.
While speaking on the Mark Andrews: My Love Letter to Wrestling podcast, Zayn stated that he was certain he was going to headline WrestleMania 39 with Roman Reigns.
“So, there was a time period going from Survivor Series [2022] and building into the [Royal] Rumble, and especially right before the Rumble. and right after the Rumble, I 100% thought it could go to me and Roman at ‘Mania, and it would be the best story. But, that’s just not (…) that wasn’t in the cards.”
