>>19657303if drew holds through to mania time, probably sami is the only guy built up enough on smackdown to take him on besides cody but they're not running that back at mania. cody roman 3, no belt just bragging rights for top guy status, is probably the move for him and roman.
the other surprise pick for drew could be oba femi. he's the only other possible winner i'd say would go for drew. they have a little history already with drew interrupting the cody/oba match at cena's SNME.
any of the other commonly named winners like bron, AJ, gunther, LA knight, etc i think they pick punk. i also think with no cody that randy is out of the world title picture at mania.
fwiw i think sami loses if he wins the rumble. he'll win the rumble in riyadh for the islamic pop, lose at mania so drew has some semblance of credibility, then win against whoever at saudimania next year after winning the EC.
