Sami Zayn and Drew McIntyre go face-to-face

WWE has announced a huge face-off between the Undisputed WWE Champion Drew McIntyre and Sami Zayn, who are set to clash with the title on the line at the 2026 Royal Rumble Premium Live Event. Zayn outlasted Randy Orton, Trick Williams, and Damian Priest to earn his title shot at the recent WWE Saturday Night's Main Event. Moreover, Zayn has a huge chip on his shoulder as McIntyre has seven victories over him in singles matches, and Zayn has none. With tensions running high between the duo even before their match was made official, it can be expected that their final face-off might end up in trading blows.
