It'll be next to impossible to reach the heights of him turning on the Bloodline and the aftermath of that again. He's still over but the issue now is that the story is Gable's and while fans love Sami, he feels shoehorned in here because they have nothing else for him.
They could've just done Drew/Seth/Sami and Gunther/Gable.

They had a great story with Gable.
Sami/Gunther is stone cold.

I hope the crowd doesn't hijack a match that'll be really good.

Am I the only person that finds support for Gable silly? Like I get it he wrestles good, but like why does his child being sad mean he has beef with Gunther?
Like you're the one that lost, if your baby sad it's you're fault.

Like you're the one that lost, if your baby sad it's you're fault. That's how his feud with the Miz was too. It's not a character specific thing with Gable, but kind of like Miz it's hard to book that these guys could even pretend to be credible against somebody like Gunther. With Big Show, you could just have Jeff Hardy dropkick him over the top rope and the big fat giant can't get back on his feet. Maybe Gunther sticks around long enough to assume a comedy role once his time in the sun is done. As a premise, some of my favorite characters are very silly. R Truth for instance, I get more entertainment out of his legitimate improv and comedy skills than I do when a C- actor is trying to convince me he's upset in a wrestling angle. For Gable's credit, he is incredibly over and when you are at a WWE live event I 100% believe you would be saying the majority of his catchphrases or at the least, feel very left out. Dude is all in, probably making good money, gets to hangout with a sexy blonde. A lot to like there, a smaller guy living in a world of giants. A little bit of Rey Mysterio going on here where the underdog finds a way, except when he doesn't but that makes us love him more because in real life there is failure. But anywho, it's the fact they have to keep Gunther looking strong. It's hard to go into a feud with Gunther and end up looking better, because all paths lead to your shoulders on the mat getting pinned 1,2,3.

Last year a lot of people online thought Cody took Sami's spot against Reigns, given Cody didn't have much of a story against the Bloodline (arguably still hasn't). Funny how things go around.

Wrestling is just an ongoing series of stolen stories. Hell, we all know this Reigns run was meant for a returning Steve Blackman.

I swear Booker T shoulder be put in the banned sources list. I thought it was weird that he would bring that up, even if it's true I wouldn't mention it publicly. While Sami's stock has gone down since last year he's still popular on TV.
