Just finished watching the show and I think there are quite a few interesting angles that they can take.
It feels like there really are some attempts to manufacture a turn.
Even the fact that he’s seemingly been shoehorned into a world title match at WK.
I’ve seen someone suggest that they’ll probably run Shota vs Mox as the alternative to ZSJ vs Ricochet, so whoever walks out with the belt at 1.4 their match becomes for the title.
If that’s the case Shota failing to beat Zack and for the belt and getting butchered by his mentor on the next night could lead to a new direction with him.
I think he’s been easily the worst booked wrestler in the last 12 months so I do hope they do actually have something interesting planned for him here.
