I like the possible dynamic between Cena and Zayn. Both are such "nice guys" that something would have to give there.
The one benefit to Zayn being on RAW is that I now want to see Reigns vs. Zayn for the US Title at WrestleMania. I get what they are trying to do with Reigns -- I still think they need to turn him heel for him to be effective -- but if they're dead-set on him being a babyface, I think he works better against other babyfaces. That way the crowd being against him actually benefits someone. So he basically functions as a heel.
Reigns vs. Zayn has that Savage vs. Steamboat dynamic behind it. I like the idea of Zayn going for the belt and Reigns just giving him a smug smile as Zayn talks about how he's worked hard over an entire career. Zayn gets his match and Reigns just shoulder barges past him. Heading into Mania, Zayn does the "Neville promo" on Reigns, talking about how it's clear that Reigns doesn't respect him. Cue Zayn slapping Reigns right across the face. Reigns then tells Zayn that if he didn't respect him, he wouldn't be standing right now.
Reigns vs. Styles and Reigns vs. Balor were the Reigns matches I've enjoyed the most since the Shield split. When Reigns just goes nuts and powerbombs people, it's gold. Get him to do that with Zayn at Mania.
