>>17321679to add on: i still have no problem with jey winning the rumble. the lack of heat has nothing to do with jey's limitations as a performer and everything to do hhh's inability to accentuate positives.
jey is over and moves merch. he's earned an opportunity to run with the ball. if he fumbles, he fumbles, that's on him.
the problem is hhh has no ideas for angles. where's the gaga? where's the heat? gunther hasn't bloodied big jim, he hasn't mocked rikishi, jey didn't embarrass gunther on the euro shows, they didn't do a pull apart brawl with security/police. Think of all the classic non-match segments with Austin -- there's none of that in HHH's WWE
gunther's world title reign has been poorly booked.
his title win was botched bc HHH was too concerned with keeping Priest strong in defeat.
he got dragged into Priest/Balor bullshit that didn't need to happen.
The Crown Jewel loss to Cody didn't need to happen but HHH has already run out of spectacle shit to sell to the Saudis.
I get why it was done on Raw but it would have been better to run getting his win back on Sami at Survivor Series or the first SNME
His matches are fine now but its just a retread of what he did as IC champ.
Orton put him over. I don't know what's going on with Seth Rollins but that dude should have put Gunther over already.
All HHH knows how to do is "they win matches". gunther's already done that and its not jey's strongsuit to be a positioned as a weekly workhorse.
as a result they're getting eaten up by the real main eventers.
