>>17121460my headcanon booking has him in a shock 5 minute match that just destroys Sami so hard he's put on a stretcher. Just a complete fucking jobber destruction match on a main card guy like Sami would be fucking dimes and help establish him as a threat. Or anyone of that caliber that you'd expect to have a long as mania match.
Ofc that would come back to haunt him as the same dude returning would cost him a title shot or match and lead to losing 50/50 feud or something of that nature but that would be a really damn cool way to get the wheels rolling again.
