Scott D’Amore believes that everything around the Battle Royal that included Jey Uso has been pointing to a huge heel turn for the former World Heavyweight Champion, that’ll have a major payoff for the crowd. “A heel Jey Uso beating Punk for the vacant title next weekend and having a championship run — even a short one — would do far more for him than staying an upper-midcard babyface or reforming another tag team with Jimmy,” he explained. Despite this, D’Amore noted that it wouldn’t be simple for Uso to just turn heel on his brother, especially as fans seem to cheer for their favorites regardless, like everyone saw with John Cena across his heel turn where he got cheered despite attacking the audience.

D’Amore still touched on the possibility of CM Punk winning instead, and expressed why he thinks it wouldn’t be the best decision. “On the other hand, putting the title back on CM Punk at Saturday Night’s Main Event isn’t what I’d do,” he admitted, however. “It would be a pale imitation of his emotional win over Gunther at SummerSlam. Even though WWE is scrambling to fill the Seth Rollins-sized hole, I think Punk should spend more time chasing the belt. There’s a bigger, more meaningful moment down the road.”
