Of course, I don’t know how well they’ve set that story up on TV, mostly because I skip through a lot.

I didn’t think about it this way but it makes sense. They’ve done a good job of making Paige the underdog in a way that doesn’t shove him down your throat but constantly puts him in a position to prove himself. Work Danielson, it was with BD calling him a clown and basically dismissing him. Archer laid him out every time they got physical, and even after getting the jump on him to start their match still had to fight from underneath.
Honestly I’ve enjoyed Hangman’s run as champ even though I wish we had seen him in more than 3 matches. But this 3 matches have been absolute bangers.
