The main event of Saturday Night’s Main Event at the Bell Centre in Montreal ended in a moment of pure euphoria for the hometown crowd. Sami Zayn, fighting in front of his fellow Canadians, emerged victorious from a chaotic Fatal 4-Way match to become the new number one contender for the WWE Championship.
The match was a tournament final featuring four of the industry’s top stars: Randy Orton, Trick Williams, Damian Priest, and Zayn. After an “awesomely chaotic struggle” that closed out the show, it was Zayn—the man who has been chasing the top prize for what feels like forever—who finally booked his ticket to another shot at the gold.
Zayn will now travel to Saudi Arabia in just one week to challenge WWE Champion Drew McIntyre at the Royal Rumble. McIntyre had a busy night himself, getting involved in the Cody Rhodes vs. Jacob Fatu match earlier in the evening. However, commentary was quick to dampen the celebration.
As the show went off the air, Wade Barrett delivered a sobering statistic: Sami Zayn has never defeated Drew McIntyre. With WrestleMania season in full effect and the champion looking more dominant than ever, the odds are heavily stacked against the “Underdog from the Underground” pulling off the upset in Riyadh.
