Waller tweeted today that his dream opponent is Chad Frost but then deleted it.

I’ve seen people suggest that this is how Dragon Lee officially debuts. Is there any logic to this or is it just fantasy booking? I just don’t really see the connection. I think it's a combination of it being the big WM weekend show for the brand and a great opponent for him in terms of someone that is a great worker, but also someone with a bit of heat on him so the crowds can rally behind Dragon. The other suggestion I've seen is bringing in Johnny Gargano as the pinch hitter opponent. On one hand, there's a big dangling thread in terms of history with Waller, on the other hand, it might not speak highly of Gargano having any plans for WrestleMania.

There isnt really anyone with an HBK connection in a position to go anymore.
All his trained by guys are gone - London and Kendrick are persona non grata (and who would really care?), Bryan is in AEW, Shannon Moore (another who cares) is retired, Hernandez is 50 and Lance Cade is dead, and all his old DX buddies are retired with a capital R.
So, either we get a random face HBK defender, or some how, Waller has convinced HBK to do a one more match thing - which I just cannot see even if Waller is brilliant.
Genuinely interested in this storyline.

Either Johnny works the Waller match or gets stuck in the Andre Battle Royal.

Genuinely interested in this storyline. X-Pac can still go can’t he? Would love it to be him but it’s probably going to be Shawn himself or bringing someone like a Gargano down from the mains

It makes sense for Gargano to face Waller
...But man, I actually want HBK vs. Waller now. 😂

Usually my TV rebels away from Waller.

Also a big reason I think it might be Dragon Lee is because dude has like the exact career built for Waller to completely shit on and call some journeyman bullshit LMAO
