I think Cesaro and Sami Zayn could have a relationship that lends itself to amazing long-term booking. In NXT, it is acknowledged their history goes back to their battles all over the world prior to being in the WWE. Cesaro just won a match and Zayn just won Cesaro's respect. There are still ways to take that into the future.
I've said this before, but I'd be in complete support of Cesaro & Sami Zayn getting a tag team run together in NXT. Have them defeat The Ascension to win the titles and then take on all-comers. You can even begin to mention Sami Zayn in Cesaro's main roster TV matches. Eventually, the two are bound to cross paths in singles competition again, and then you can do something epic between them. Imagine if Zayn cheated to beat Cesaro, because the need to win overrides his sense of honor? Zayn losing the respect of Cesaro and then pointing out that this isn't about respect anymore, could be a pretty deep storyline with lots of history behind it.
