Sami Zayn has a nomination for Slammys 2020
Although Sami has declared war on the Slammys, he is also nominated under ‘The Return of the Year.’ Sami Zayn won the Intercontinental Championship at Elimination Chamber earlier this year.
He then had a feud with Daniel Bryan over the title. However, WWE vacated the title after he refused to participate in matches due to the coronavirus pandemic.

He returned in August with his own Intercontinental Championship and challenged the validity of then-champion Jeff Hardy. At Clash of Champions, Zayn defeated Hardy and challenger AJ Styles in a triple threat ladder match to reclaim the Intercontinental Championship.
Since then, Sami has been calling out WWE management for conspiring against him. He proclaimed that he is the true people’s champion, and he represents all the people of the continents.
My Intercontinental Title reign is historic.
It’s been 270 days since I won it.
I never lost it and still managed to win it TWICE.
I’ve beaten top competitors & future Hall of Famers.
Despite @WWE trying to oust me I’ve overcome it all.
