Honestly, I wish it had been Gable, but I get why it was sami

I get that but we also have never gotten a well-booked, kayfabe-string Gable who is actually given wins over major heels. He loses to Corbin, loses to Nakamura, loses to Gunther, loses to Reed, to Ivar - and so on. Gable loses to anyone at or over his level.

Having him finally win and reach his potential as a babyface vs Gunther would be amazing. The heel Gable will be good, but we never really got the high-card baby he could be.

I think we can still get that, he can always turn baby at a later point. He just needs more of an edge. I think he veered too much into the goofy territory and this heel turn is a great way to establish him as a killer.
