Hangman has been one of the most protected guys on the roster. He’s been a winning machine since losing in the world title tournament to Omega. Think he’s only lost once to Brian Cage, which says a lot given that Hangman has worked a lot of TV on dynamite.
He’s also been promoted as the number 1 contender and so far he’s still been over when the crowds.
I don’t understand how a guy who’s consistently won, won the high profile and ppv matches, is prominently and regularly featured on TV, and only has losses against two former world champs, a main event tag team, and a guy who has only been pinned twice in the span of a year, is being force elevated by getting the belt they’ve been building him up to win since day one.
It’s a bad take. Hangman doesn’t need the belt to get over. They’ve already established him as a big player and he’s already over with a ready made storyline to the belt. That is not what WWE does.
