Ok, so, I know I just said we shouldn't go down the foreign heel route with Shevchenko but my god it would bloody work with this lad right now, wouldn't it? In the states he's vilified as a bit of a snake in the grass with his part in the Conor rivalry of last year, cornering and slapping Conor's close friend, Artem Lobov for his comments on Conor being the real Champ. This kind of behaviour screams dastardly heel and if he stalked the locker room with his Daghestani brothers, this guy could be a real former of evil in the company.

Factor in that WWE are now trying to appease a Saudi audience and hierarchy with the ever problematic super shows. If they were to pull out Khabib, even just for an angle at this point, it would definitely go down well with their employers. The shows are a problem in themselves but there's no doubt that the appearance of the bear wrestling, undefeated champ would boost numbers and get eyes back on the product. And if all else fails, have Cena come out and FU him in the middle of the desert. USA! USA! USA!
