WWE Night of Champions: Sami Zayn vs Karrion Kross, Match Preview and Prediction

Sami Zayn and Karrion Kross all ready to face each other at Night of Champions

Sami Zayn has had a bad few months in WWE. He lost the opportunities to feature in the Men’s Elimination Chamber, WrestleMania, and Men’s MITB. He qualified for the Semifinals of King of the Ring but failed to get past Randy Orton in the Semifinals. There was one thing in common in all his losses, and it was that he took the moral high ground and refrained from using unfair means to claim victory.

The sole victory that he received to qualify for the semifinals of the King of the Ring tournament was courtesy of LA Knight, who made sure Bron Breaker didn’t qualify. Karrion Kross was quick to spot this as he confronted him later, stating I told you so. Karrion Kross has been trying to get Sami Zayn to turn heel and use unfair means to win.

Is @SamiZayn realizing his true potential right now? 🤔
