Time for the return of El Generico?

Having been a standout performer in promotions such as ROH and PWG, many predicted great things for the former El Generico when he signed with WWE. A champion who had captured gold all around the world, he would go on to win the NXT World Championship from Neville at NXT TakeOver: R Evolution.

Things have been a little different since his main roster call-up, however. When he's not battling former best friend Kevin Owens in a feud destined to last forever, he's being fed to the likes of Aiden English, Braun Strowman, and Baron Corbin.
