Zayn’s clash with Gunther at WrestleMania delivered one of the most memorable matches of the event, showcasing Zayn’s resilience as he repeatedly countered the Ring General’s formidable moves. Ultimately, Zayn emerged victorious, sealing the win with his signature Helluva Kick.
In the aftermath of his triumph, Zayn found himself immediately targeted by one of his toughest adversaries to date. Bronson Reed, weighing in at an imposing 330 pounds, took to social media to remind Zayn of their recent encounters. Reed claimed victory over the new champion not once, but twice during consecutive weeks on WWE RAW. Their initial bout saw Reed triumph over Zayn, while in their subsequent clash, interference from Gunther resulted in Reed’s disqualification.
With Gunther’s reign as Intercontinental Champion now over, the spotlight shifts to who will step up to challenge Sami Zayn on WWE RAW. The roster boasts a plethora of formidable superstars, each vying for an opportunity to dethrone the newly crowned champion. As the WWE universe eagerly awaits Zayn’s next challenger, anticipation mounts for the unfolding drama and competition that will define his reign as Intercontinental Champion.
