Over the past few months, Williams, who was officially called up from NXT in January, has been generating roof-rattling reactions, and as WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry has said , the fans have chosen him as the company’s next breakout star.

That, however, hasn’t sat too well with Sami Zayn. Zayn, despite beating Carmelo Hayes on an episode of SmackDown to win the United States Championship, continued to be at odds with Williams. That resulted in Williams not only getting his first WrestleMania match but doing so for the prestigious US title.
