>>17120852it's a fact that even if dom held one of the midcard belts, the booking surrounding it would be atrocious.
the only title reign that he's managed to book as mild a success (not even like a legendary run, just passable) is cody with the WWE belt. every other championship reign he has been responsible for has been bad.
seemingly the smackdown men's main event scene, as well as making rhea squash all the girls, are the only things he cares about.
HHH does not want any of the young guys holding gold. so imagine him getting the belt against what HHH wants, something that doesn't interest him. it would be a nightmare. imagine bron's already bad reign but worse.
