>>12954879Rare casualty of both the lost-generation when no one not named Cena was allowed to get over and that shtity mid-2010's era where there was a single belt half the time and no one but Brock or the Shieldetty's was allowed to hold it.
Also, they just didn't want to pull the trigger on him for some reason. He could've easily won the WHC back after that concussion and gotten mega-over. Later on, when they were passing the title around every indie shitter and NXT-darling, it made sense for him to finally win the big one. He probably should have gotten Kofi's run, but WWE clearly wanted to pad the number of black champions so the word-sayer got passed over yet again.
