It helped that he was in there with Rey who is really short, Dominik who seems more boy than man and Miz who has never been presented as much of a tough guy/threat but it didn't come across like fake looking that this outside celebrity was coming in and hanging with wrestlers. He had more physical presence than anyone in the ring and it looked completely believable for him to beat them up. I mean, "getting fighters outside of their combat prime" was literally their tactic on getting Lesnar, Rousey and Velazquez (even though he was trying to be a wrestler who wasn't acting like an MMA guy so he's less so in this) so, like, it fits. It shows how much MMA has grown in the past 20 years. Back in the day Ken Shamrock and Dan Severn weren't washed, they were still top names in the sport and winning fights but there was more money/fame to be had in pro wrestling in 97/98. That would never happen now. You're only leaving UFC prestige/money for wrestling now if you're past your prime, losing fights and not going to be getting the big fights anymore like Rousey/Lesnar/Velasquez/Dos Santos/Van Zant (although PVZ was more of a never was than a has-been compared to the others). Tito Ortiz, Rampage Jackson, Frank Trigg, we can go on.

Wonder if he were to take it seriously. He trains like Kurt Angle and becomes one of those comedy wrestlers who can back it up in the ring too.

He's going to get a mega babyface reaction against Dominic.

If Commander Azeez doesn't pin Roman for his title this is the man I hope does it.

I’m not a fan of his but he looked like a star in that segment who could hold his own with anyone on the roster if he had enough training.

Well I skipped his match with KO last year because I like Owens but I wasn’t watching this clown wrestle, so if gets into wrestling with WWE, I’ll be able to schedule my bathroom breaks better going forward.

He's a truly repugnant human being, so he at least should fit in the Raw locker room, which is already filled with sexual predators WWE insists on pushing. Glad I don't waste a single second or cent into this clown show anymore.

He didn't have a match with Kevin Owens last year. He only accompanied Sami Zayn to the ring at Wrestlemania 37. And after that match he received a stunner from Kevin Owens.

Okay he was involved and I didn’t watch the match involving Kevin Owen because of that sad excuse of a human being was involved. I apologise for being incorrect.

That's a really harsh thing to call Sami Zayn.

You can tell that the celebrity pool is getting shallower when they have to bring Logan Paul in AGAIN.
