why would anyone think that fight is happening? He's fighting Stipe and if he didnt you have an interim champ thats next.
Jones also isnt taking it so dont even know why anyone shits on Dana for this, Jones has no interest in sticking around. He's already basically said I'm rich and 37 and I'm out. Its Stipe and done and at this point the Stipe fight could not happen and he's done. So anyone thinking he's gonna stick around and fight Tom and then Alex, come on.
You have a better chance seeing Alex move to HW next year to fight Tom.
