Finn.
They can in story have Priest “sit out” MITB due to his injury, if it’s severe they can at least down play it on tv. Have Finn win and then priest comes out to congratulate him. Finn turns him and wins the title. Finn can even Pillman his leg to completely write him off then Boom huge match for Mania or whenever he gets better, then he’ll get a great face return story.

Won't happen though I do think he costs Solo in the inevitable Cody/Solo title match but as a long time Reigns fan I would mark. |

All the other names would be acceptable except Dominik. I don't think he should be anywhere near a world title. I honestly feel that booing him is more of a meme than genuine heat at this point. Finn could be a good choice. It's a shame Drew has started bottling more than Braun was, because he's doing fantastic character work.

Maybe. Dude got his ankle caught in the ropes something fierce in the match with McIntyre, and was favouring it the rest of the way. Dude's almost certainly getting it looked at as soon as they get back to the US. |

I’m really not sold on a lot of the choices:
Drew: Last night was his chance. He wins it on Raw who gives a shit?
Punk: Just been cleared. Can’t be trusted.
Jey Uso: Would be cool as long as he actually beats Gunther at Summerslam because he needs to beat him. But I want Gunther to be champion.
Zayn: Already IC champ.
Reigns: Lol no. Plus it would disrupt the story they have ready for him anyway.
Cody: I mean….you know what. Wouldn’t be the worse idea ever. Would have to drop to Gunther at Summerslam though. Can’t have him holding both belts for 2 years like Roman.
Balor: Is Balor over enough at this point to justify it? If Liv helps him win maybe.
Dom: f*** it go on then!
KO: would be my choice if he wasn’t on Smackdown. KO v Gunther at Summerslam would be cool. Would get him away from The Bloodline at least.
Gunther: if you just give him the belt because he’s the number 1 contender then what?
