Maybe Reigns will win at Wrestlemania and then Seth will cash his Money in the Bank and take the title from him.

I cant think of anyone.

The only thing that Reigns has going for him is his marketability. He is a good looking, well built guy and he does a superman punch. The kids love him, the mums love him. That means merch, which means Vince will push him.

Whats going to be funny in the run up to WM though, is how they will build the feud with Lesnar. Are they expecting Roman Reigns to be able to go toe-to-toe with Paul Heyman on the mic.

And do they really expect him to go toe to toe with Lesnar?  I know this is wrestling, but how is that going to come across as believable?

Wyatt dominating the first half of the rumble was the best part of the rumble match. It was great to see him stand out the way he did. Its something that was long overdue. Otherwise the angle with Show and Kain ruined what was a overall okay rumble. When they knocked out ziggler and wyatt the way they did was disappointing. I'm seriously tired of the Authority storyline. I was hoping we were finally done with that crap after Survivor Series.


What I didnt get about the Wyatt thing is you have him dominating the Rumble, making a statement. You could turn that in to feud or do something with this when you have this guy making such a statement. How does he get eliminated? Dropped over the top rope like a sack of crap by 2 heels that are never going to feud with him. It was all so odd.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

Only way this MIGHT work is if they have The Rock around for Roman's mouthpiece.  Even then, I can't say that it is gonna go well.

IMO best thing they can do is have Lesnar and Rock start fighting tonight.  Lesnar, in his "injured" state after last night's match, gets beaten up by Rock and put in a prone position for a Rollins cash in.  Rollins can cash in and wins the belt, giving us Rollins vs Reigns at Mania (a better laid out feud already) and have Rock vs Lesnar as another attraction match.  Of course, all this hinges on the idea that Rock will be around for Mania.

I just dont see how it works.

Though I am kinda excited to see Lesnar catch Reigns mid air half way through a superman punch, turning it into an F5.

That's a likely scenario.

Its just another sign that they got the whole Rumble wrong. They pushed the wrong wrestler and neglected better wrestlers who could do more with the push. I have no idea who they're even going to line him up with for the road to the Mania. Its almost like they pair him with random faces. Its such a shame too because Wyatt should be a contender for titles with his winning pedigree and fan following. Instead he gets ignored. He kinda reminds me of the Hardy Boys but different because Wyatt can cut a promo.



Honestly, I like Roman Reigns. I like him a lot. Problem is, he worked best next to the other Shield members. On his own, we all know he's lacking in promo work, and his move pool is limited, but next to Rollins and Ambrose, they complemented each other very well.

He's not bad, but he was better when he was an enigma. a powerful, dangerous mystery that let Ambrose and Rollins do his talking for him.

He has a place on the roster, no doubt about that. he has value. he's got a charisma about him (despite lacking charisma on the mic), and like I said he has the powerhouse thing going for him. I think that, in time, he can be great. HE's just not there yet.

A shame he's being shat on so messily right now. Sucks that WWE sucks so incredibly badly at storytelling. It's funny. the more control WWE creative gets, the less creative the stories are. The less interesting the characters are. The lest exciting the matches and promos are.

Saw an article recently about how "WWE created a legend" in regards to Daniel Bryan, and I honestly gagged a little bit trying to hold back the laughter.
