It’s guaranteed to be a special night when Montreal hosts WWE Elimination Chamber on Saturday.
In his hometown, Sami Zayn will wrestle the biggest match of his life as he challenges Roman Reigns for the undisputed WWE universal championship. It’s a match that would have been great no matter where it took place. In Montreal, it has the chance to be perfect.
This is the first time a WWE pay-per-view has been held in Montreal since 2009. When Zayn was wrestling under a mask in Ring of Honor then, it would have been difficult to imagine that he would one day become the hottest act in WWE. The work Zayn has done during his story with The Bloodline has been incredible. Everyone involved has played their part, but Zayn is the key ingredient to making this one of the best stories in WWE history. He’s capable of making the audience feel so many different emotions. You felt bad for him when he was being manipulated by The Bloodline. You felt annoyed with him when he couldn’t see that Kevin Owens was trying to help him. You felt happy for him when he earned Jey Uso’s acceptance. And you felt tremendous joy when Zayn finally came to his senses and attacked Reigns with a steel chair at the Royal Rumble. It’s hard for an underdog like Zayn to look like a credible threat against such a dominant champion. But whether he actually has a chance to win the title, Zayn will have the crowd in Montreal believing that Saturday is his night.
