I don't even mind him. He doesn't excite me enough to the point where I look forward to seeing him on my TV each and every week, but if I'm forced to watch him, I don't really mind, so long as I at least semi care about the opponent he's facing.
Have him do something meaningful. Have him go after the Intercontinental Championship or something. Give a promo about how much he respects the IC Title and all the great champions and how he'd love to hold it himself and then have him feud with Curtis Axel or something.
