>>16151607i don't know if it was mentioned, but is it any previous world champion (so universal counts too) or just WHC? i'll assume the former because of the graphic.
cena isn't impossible, i guess they'd have to start planting the seeds for next year's run sometime this year right? but there's just something about it, i don't know, i'll believe it's BMJ when i see BMJ.
sheamus i could see, now that his pete dunne shit is over, they need something for him to do. it's not much but this is something. though i feel like it would kinda come out of nowhere.
finn would be really interesting. in my mind, this would confirm that judgment day is going to break up sooner rather than later. dom would have to job. i feel like they kinda have to build finn up again because he is just so kayfabe weak right now that he is actually laughable - the fact that he held one of these titles weakens the title's prestige because he is so fucking shit right now. so they'll give him this. obviously it'd be heel v heel, so less likely, but i feel like the story would allow it.
if it's priest i'm turning the show off. there's no good reason that shit needs to keep going. everybody is tired of it.
it won't be drew, i think drew is going to be out until the rumble (then win it). and i'm sure fragile phil is still nursing his glass bones too, so it won't be him.
seth could be possible. first match back, give an opportunity for sneed to interfere and build heat for bad blood. a likely option.
wildcard option: they're in pennsylvania, so they bring back kurt, to prepare him for his actual, real final match vs cena next year.
even willder card options: bork return, KO breaks the fourth wall and somehow arrives on raw, bray wyatt hologram
