He is however worthy of facing the last champ before JDS.
Seriously.
JDS/Mir
Hunt/Cain(#1 contender)
and
Struve/Sylvia
If they just give Sylvia a fight he'll get off Dana's ass about trying to get a second chance. If he loses, Dana has the sweet, sweet opportunity of saying Sylvia never deserved it in the first place(and you know he'll savor that opportunity) and if he wins, he's still a legit HW.
I agree with everything but Struve fight... 
It wouldn't make sense to make the co-main a better fight then the main event. Hunt VS JDS and Mir VS Cain are both better matchups. This is the most entertaining and evenly matched ways to schedule the fights, plus like Hunt has recently said he's at the end of his career. Give the man his shot.
JDS/Mir ends like JDS/Cain.
JDS/Hunt would be a war and epic.
