He was supposed to have a big spot at WM 39 - He didn't.
He caught fire and fans wanted him to win MITB - He didn't.
Still, despite that, was rumored to be in the US title picture at SS - He isn't.
Currently rumored to be getting "pushed" after SS - Remains to be seen.
I get the whole "lets see how it plays out" argument, but in this case I feel like they're letting this one slip away a bit.
Also, doesn't beating the US champion earn you a title shot? Santos did it as clean a sheet on Friday, yet he's still facing Rey next week for a #1 contenders match? Sometimes I wonder how the f*** they make sense of it all.
