The fact that he got a huge push out of nowhere within only 4 months on the main roster was B.S. He was having heatless midcard matches with Dolph Ziggler, then has a match with Cena for the #1 Contendership for the WWE Championship which he goes over, has a three month program with Jinder Mahal, and then wins the Royal Rumble. None of it made sense, and it was reflected in viewership. After his Rumble win, the viewership for SmackDown consistently declined for weeks.
