WWE Hall Of Famer Wants To See Sami Zayn Potentially Challenge Cody Rhodes For World Titles
Sami Zayn is set to face The Tribal Chief Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal title on February 18th at Elimination Chamber premium live event. However, with Cody Rhodes waiting to face the winner at WrestleMania 39 in April, many are expecting The Tribal Chief to come away with a win against Sami Zayn.
Speaking on his 83 Weeks podcast, Eric Bischoff explained that Sami Zayn could win the world title against a star like Cody Rhodes later this year.
“I think within the next six months Sami is going to be right there. I could see Sami and Cody down the line if indeed Cody comes out of it as WWE Champion. Not yet, but very soon. Does he have the talent? He has enough talent to share. I think the crowd needs to view Sami in that role for just a little bit longer, that upper third of the roster. I think if they do it, in the next six months, absolutely yes. I think if they did it right now, it’d be a bit too soon.” (H/T: WrestlingInc)
