   An interesting question from Grapsody's Righteous Reg on the bird site:

   But my follow up would be: Does it matter? It feels like if #WWE doesn't capitalize on this moment in time with Sami, they'll never have it back.

   There's time between now and WrestleMania to figure out a story for him as champ if that's the direction they want to go.

     @nicktylwalk My main problem is people keep comparing this to Daniel Bryan's rise. I don't think he's as hot as Bryan was at that time. I don't think the momentum behind him is about people wanting him to be champion, I just think they want to see him being funny and Ucey. There's been very little foreshadowing or hinting about him wanting the title, or even disliking Roman. That'll probably change tomorrow night but I don't see him winning the Rumble or headlining Mania. Prob something at EC.

     @Zammer Agreed RE: Bryan; even Sami himself has been saying this week he doesn't think he's at that same level in terms of fans revolting if he doesn't win.

     I also agree he'll likely get his moment at EC given where it's gong down, but that feels a little weak for the wave he's riding IMO. Because surely he's not dethroning Roman there, the last big event before Mania.
