Yokozuna could have been the perfect fit for WWE today

Now that WWE is far more international than it ever was, Yokozuna would have been the perfect fit!
A big man who could work well, he would definitely be a main eventer in today's WWE product. Imagine the matches a man with his skill could have had with Brock Lesnar, or even a fellow Samoan big man in Samoa Joe (Yokozuna wasn’t Japanese, but Samoan).
As for his gimmick, a sumo wrestler would have been just as relevant in today's product, as he would have been over two decades ago. However, he would probably need a more up-to-date manager than Mr Fuji. A Paul Heyman guy, maybe?
