The whole situation with WWE and DB seems weird to me, though. They like the guy enough to "fire" him over some public relations bullshit, wait out his non-compete, then rehire him with a "thank you for not slagging us off and being a good sport about this" midcard title run, but then end up ignoring/actively derailing his organic upward momentum, then, keep him around and pay him huge wads of cash to not do the thing he loves doing. Aside from my theory of "toy collecting", I don't get it.
