I do not think it's correct to say that he was already defined as a guy who would never main event - much the opposite, I think it was clear to anybody paying attention that they had main event aspirations for him.

I don't agree with this and am hesitant to take lectures on paying attention from a guy who self-admittedly doesn't watch the product often (granted I also have this problem but I do feel that of the two of us I've watched more WWE in the time Drew has been around)

I think Eddv's Cesaro comparison is apt. Well, Cesaro circa like 2016, but still, never really felt like he was going anywhere. Hasn't been thoroughly ruined so the run is credible, but like, without the Rumble win being known do I feel he's doing anything relevant any time this year? Probably not.

I didn't mean to lecture anybody about paying attention, my thinking more specifically was that if you just see the results and bigger direction of the show it's easy to think they're doing nothing with Drew, but if you look at the actual booking patterns and positioning he is treated very differently to, eg, Cesaro. (for what it's worth, there's never been a week I don't listen to 7 hours or more of podcasts about raw and smackdown so I don't think I'm missing a lot not having watched most of last year - and Drew is always one of the most talked about guys on those podcasts)
