5. Logan Paul
Zayn’s history with Logan Paul, including previous SmackDown moments, could lead to a heated feud.

Both men want big moments at WrestleMania, so a match between the two could deliver the match of either night 1 or 2 of the card.

4. Finn Bálor
Reports are saying a Finn Bálor and AJ Styles match was rumored for WrestleMania 41, but it’s not booked yet. So this opens the door for a feud with Sami Zayn. Both are in-ring talents and a feud could develop from RAW confrontations leading to a big WrestleMania match. They haven’t faced each other in singles action much in the past. So a Zayn and Bálor match would be a fresh clash of styles and could be sparked by Bálor’s Judgment Day faction targeting Zayn.

3. Carmelo Hayes
Carmelo Hayes has been on the rise on SmackDown recently. A feud with Sami Zayn may take place because Hayes may try to prove himself against top talent in some intense confrontation and mind games. Zayn, the veteran, could rise up against Hayes’ arrogance and some kind of veteran-vs-rising scenario could be initiated. With WWE’s storytelling going into personal feuds, their match at WrestleMania 41 could be built on respect, ego and wanting to steal the show.
