Let's all remember that one time that they tried to make us care about The Miz by having Ric Flair bequeath the Figure Four to him as a finishing hold. Now, let's imagine a point where Tyler Breeze becomes a solid enough hand to ditch the comic aspects of his persona, amplify his wrestling, and then Ric Flair gave Breeze the hold, the music and the robe as a concept. Similarly, Ronda Rousey getting the blessing to be "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey because she was worthy of being blessed with Piper's lineage makes sense. Let's hope that in doing similar to Piper and Rousey for stars on the roster, WWE can make solid choices that actually get talents MORE over with the WWE Universe for gaining such important cosigns.
