#2 Details on backstage plans for Roman Reigns vs. Sami Zayn
THAT POP FOR SAMI ZAYN TURNING ON ROMAN REIGNS!!! #RoyalRumble https://t.co/rNaFjuFUgO
WWE fans are seemingly divided over Cody Rhodes vs. Roman Reigns at WrestleMania Hollywood. While many viewers are excited to see The American Nightmare script a fairytale title win at WrestleMania after his epic Royal Rumble victory, others believe it should have been Sami Zayn.

The WWE Universe believes that Zayn is the right person to dethrone Roman Reigns at WrestleMania after delivering one of the best storylines in recent history. However, it appears that this match might happen sooner than everyone thought.
According to Dave Meltzer, Zayn could be set to challenge Reigns for the title at Elimination Chamber, which will be held in Montreal. The last time Zayn wrestled in Canada, he received the biggest pop of the night and will undoubtedly be the top favorite at a show in his country.

Jey Uso walked out on his own family, his brother Roman Reigns because he couldn't attack his FOE turned friend Sami Zayn.

The fallout between Zayn and The Bloodline stole the show at Royal Rumble. The crowd erupted when Zayn hit Roman Reigns with a chair instead of attacking Kevin Owens.
The Bloodline, except Jey Uso, promptly got their revenge, but it fetched "F*ck you Roman" chants from fans. The contrast between the heat for Roman Reigns and the love for Sami Zayn has seemingly filled WWE's plans to book this title match for Elimination Chamber.
