>>16121482 Give him more than time talk in steady intervals in the ring or while walking to it, so not like tirades but something to advance the plot, talking shit on someone giving a promo etc. This is his weak point in the presentation and yet he has much to give, he's got top tier facials and his ring side work is on point.
Backstage segments with Miz and Xavier are now paying off and have been good so not much to add there.
Have some matches and have them steady, do a local jobber crush just to remind people, don't need to be big effort just to show that he can.
Fuck his current finisher, go back to choking people out, get a "cheat" finisher that he uses when ref doesn't see so sort of modified rope choke, add missile drop kick are similar semi-arial attack to move set so he's not all ground based.
But the most important part is to actually advance the tick tock plot already, spring part of the trap, it's been a year already:
He should get a short tag run for Akam and Rezar or at least an underhanded way to get them in a tag title match to lose so they aren't following him around for nothing.
Same for Kross but a singles title or MitB...something! This is how you get him to be a real character on the show instead of "authors self insert" that hints and tells plot point spoilers
