WWE Draft 2017: Predictions for the “Superstar Shake Up”

Sami Zayn to SmackDown Live


Over the past few months, Sami Zayn possibly going to SmackDown Live has been repeatedly hinted at. Back in November, Sami Zayn's character flat out asked to be traded to SmackDown Live, and Daniel Bryan on Twitter tried to actively recruit him, writing, "Dear @ILikeSamiZayn, #TeamBlue will never hold you back #BlueIsBetter." This past week on Raw, Sami Zayn approached Kurt Angle and specifically tried to foster a good relationship with him. Could he be doing this because he wants Kurt Angle to trade him to SmackDown Live? Or does he want to stay on Raw, but he managed to annoy Angle in the process? Zayn has plenty of reason to want to leave, considering his hero Mick Foley just recently got fired and considering the commissioner of the show is someone he absolutely despises: Stephanie McMahon. Even if Zayn doesn't want to go, and even if Angle has no interest in trading Zayn, it would not be surprising to see Stephanie McMahon's character pull some strings in order to get Sami Zayn out of her life.
