Paul Heyman has discussed whether WWE considered altering plans for WrestleMania 39 by adding Sami Zayn to the show’s main event.
The former intercontinental champion is currently one of the biggest babyfaces in the entire wrestling industry. After he failed to dethrone Roman Reigns at Elimination Chamber for the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship, many fans called on the higher ups to make the world title match at The Mayorst Stage of Them All a triple threat match.
Talking to Jimmy Traina from Media YES In a recent interview, Paul Heyman was asked if WWE thought about changing plans for WrestleMania 39 based on the reaction Sami Zayn has been getting from fans.
The special prosecutor stated that there is always a need to change something to test the waters.
“There’s always a hint of changing any plan because the old expression is you have a test audience every night. We’re very adaptable. We think we have a very good formula here and we think we’re on a very good path. And I don’t I think you’ve seen the last of Sami Zayn. In fact, I can guarantee you that you haven’t seen the last of Sami Zayn or Kevin Owens, or any of the other players in this act that we’ve assembled,” Heyman said. [41:07-41:43]
Paul Heyman says he hopes the WWE Universe will continue to support Sami Zayn in the future
At the 2023 Royal Rumble, the former Honorary Uce turned on The Bloodline by attacking Roman Reigns with a steel chair. He had a chance to unseat The Head of the Table in his hometown of Montreal, but he didn’t make it.
During the same interview with Media YESPaul Heyman shared that he understands why Sami Zayn is popular right now, and he hopes the latter will continue to be so for the foreseeable future.
I understand that people have wanted [more for] Sammy, that’s the object. We try to do that with every challenger. We did that with Drew McIntyre going to Cardiff in the UK… We tried to do that with everyone who comes into the co-starring role with Roman Reigns in terms of who their opponent is going to be for the match we have. I’m trying to sell… I hope that six months from now, people will continue to clamor more and more for Sami. That’s what we do. We try to make stars out of everyone within our orbit,” he said.

Many fans are expecting Sami Zayn to team up with Kevin Owens to take on The Usos for the WWE Undisputed Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania 39. It will be interesting to see what happens at the event.
