I mean it was hardly guaranteed. Unless you mean he just had raw charisma and talent and I’d agree but it wasn’t super evident when he first showed up. He worked his ass off and grew his character beautifully with the opportunities he was given. When he first showed up he genuinely felt like just another generic big guy that was so common in WWE in the early 2000s. Until he joined evolution he kinda struggled to find his identity. All credit to him is my point here, when he got the opportunity to shine, he knocked it out of the park.
