>>8614906I love the guy but it still seems too premature to put the title on him. He needs to up his power level before winning the world championship. Maybe have him involved and somehow cost Roman the WWE championship. Like it's a triple threat with Roman, Sami, and Cody and Sami eats the pin, or Sami wins the title in the elimination chamber before dropping it at mania.
And
>>8615086 makes a good point. Him skipping Saudi shows diminishes his value a lot. That in mind, it's probably for the best to just have him get his pity title at somewhere like Summerslam or Survivor Series.
