Former NXT champion Sami Zayn has had ups and downs during his stint on the main roster. He is considered as one of the most undervalued and misused superstars in the WWE today. Will a trade from Monday Night Raw to SmackDown Live be beneficial for all parties involved?
In this week's episode of Raw, Zayn was once again at the mercy of Braun Strowman. Raw general manager Mick Foley came in to stop the beating but it led to a confrontation. The Canadian star was very unhappy with Foley which led to a lot of speculation about a possible trade.
SmackDown Live general manager Daniel Bryan has been trying to persuade Zayn into leaving Raw and joining the blue brand. There several ways that these could happen like a Loser Leaves Town Match or even a possible trade.
According to FOX Sports, there is one very interesting trade scenario the WWE can explore in the coming weeks. The report pointed out that Baron Corbin has been trying to get himself fired by disobeying Bryan and the SmackDown Live management.
Foley can say in the storyline that he is trading Zayn to SmackDown to save him from another Strowman beating. On the other hand, Bryan can finally get rid of Corbin and get the blue brand a new superstar that can help them beat Raw in the ratings.
Zayn for Corbin trade looks like an even trade as it benefits all the parties involved. SmackDown can book Zayn properly while Raw gets another heel to stock up the roster. Nevertheless, these are just purely speculative at this point and nothing has been confirmed.
It should be noted that Bryan encouraging superstars like Zayn and Cesaro to join SmackDown is not part of any storyline. According to Cageside Seats, Bryan is doing it by himself but it could lead to a major program if the fans start to pick it up more.
