If The Fiend won just imagine the the promos he would do to the Champion through the year...
That would add a lot of prestige to Bray
Imagine if they were just doing Firefly Funhouse for a while and instead of that dumb ass Lesnar appearance we had the Fiend instead? Holy...
Looking through history. I'm trying to see ones people don't really think of - Kane in 2010 comes to mind, but they could have got something out of that dog shit feud...
Cena in 2012 was lame as hell but it lead to something awesome...
-2011: The Miz over ADR. Dorito was a sunk cost at this point, Lati-No Heat was the worst third wheel (fourth? Fifth?) For the Punk/Cena feud and the awfully executed Summer of Punk/Winter of Nash. Miz was the best third wheel ever as champ and could have made a fun background player instead of a trash champion during such a hot period
I want to say the same about Orton in 2013, but there really isnt much of a better option to play the "chosen one" role at the time
-2013: Cesaro over Sandow. In today's edition of no shit, it's 2019 and Cesaro hasn't been world champion yet. Given a chance to change history that won't be the case. I like the Sandow win more than most because 2013 Face Cody/Goldie was awesome, but come on son.
Want to say Cesaro over Cena in 2014 too, but Cena had to win that match for the BEST MATCH EVER at SS that year
Sheamus as Mr MITB sucked, but 2015 was a waste of time so can't really change that
Well gotta go with the obvious choice for the last one: Brock Lesnar winning was a catastrophically bad decision. It felt like the dumbest thing ever at the time and now it only looks worse. If you ask me though, Ali as Mr MITB right now would be perfect. He has a right to speak up since Orton injured him and took him out of the Chamber, where Kofi took his spot and Kofimania got started. Adding that element to the feud, and understanding Ali's bitterness but watching him not want to cash in on Kofi sounds like a hell of a babyface angle.
