I think the crowd really wants to get behind him. We've been stuck with Roman and Seth as the top guys for a decade. Will they pull the trigger and make a new star?

They'll job him out at Saudimania then feed him to Cody. If he somehow survivals all that maybe they will give him a chance. This isn't Vince and I don't have a grasp of what Paul answering only to Ari is going to be like.

No because it's a B level PPV and Cody is definitely the one dethroning Roman. What this does for LA Knight is elevate him to the main event level and he gets a huge rub being in a feud with Roman. What they do with him then on will decide how hot he remains.

They used to say the Saudi shows were bigger than WrestleMania. Good way to elevate it if they are really making stupid money on these shows.

Ari likely doesn't give a fuck about this shit. He literally told Vince to fuck off and let Paul do his job. So he obviously knows business and therefore money will continue to come in under Paul's vision unobstructed.

I get that, but if Saudi pays them $30M a year for the show, and the rest of the PPVs combine for about that same money, it might make sense.

Honestly just book him well and the crowd will stay behind him. Rock in 1999 is the blueprint. He was white fucking hot after his face turn and though he was involved in championship matches he lost and lost but was so entertaining and over, it meant jack shit. He didn't win the championship until Backlash 2000 over a year after losing it. Just book him well and he'll be fine

Not at Saudi. Maybe at wrestlemania. Either him or Cody. Main event will be a triple threat between him, Cody and Reigns. Reigns won't win, but he wont take the pin either.

They'll have the maximize the years he can work at a main event level since it won't be too long. They could get a good 4-5 years of him as a top guy, which considering that's basically the entire length of the Attitude Era, is decent.

He's 40 and hot now, why waste a year? And what they did with Rock in 99 wasn't fucking smart either. Austin was going out in injury and they basically left a void for no reason.

HHH's heel run was abysmal until Foley was set up to face him. It was just a heel trying desperately to get heat to a crowd that didn't care.

Do you think he's capable of carrying Raw or Smackdown as the show's protagonist? This isn't rhetorical. This is how you need to look at who is a potential "new star" or whatever term you want to use to describe it.

40 now is very different to 40 ten years ago.
He could perfectly have 5 years like the top guy. Cody says 40 is the best moment for a pro wrestler career
