Ahmed Battle Royal Win

By Scott Keith on 23 June 2017


Dearest Scott,

With Ahmed Johnson winning that battle royal for a world title shot on the same taping he was injured, what was the plan for that title shot? Was Vader supposed to beat Michaels at SSlam to set up a Vader/Ahmed title match at IYH Sept? If HBK beats Vader at SSlam and loses at SSeries yadda yadda the only time Ahmed could get a shot is at Its Time, right? What’s the real story behind that title shot??

​He certainly wasn’t scheduled to win the title or anything. And Vader wasn’t supposed to win at Summerslam anyway. Probably would have just been a one-off RAW match or something. ​
