Did you get the line from Strowman to Ellsworth, "don't I know you"

Considering they were both part of Adam Roses Rosebuds for a while lol, wonder if this was a nod to the two Wrestlers time spent partying!

 

And yeah Reigns stuff really just seemed like they were trying to have a repeat of John Cena, where the crowd all cheers or boos him but they're all invested in some way , but with Reigns inability to sell moves done to him it's very tough to care at all, he needs a storyline where he has to be the one you cheer for, put him in a match versus someone completely awful, not HHH manufactured bad guy but someone that crowds dislike 100% the very worst case scenario of doing that will be you get someone over with the crowd by pitting them against Reigns, fuck it you could just use him as that, just use him to get over people with the crowd you who just want to be super baby faces, by having them even lose to Reigns for weeks at a time, you'll still be getting something out fo the guy.

I don't know what they can really do for Reigns.  I was going to say he needs to get injured so he can get off camera.  But then I rememered that happened already and that made things worse.  I mean, when push comes to shove, Cena can cut an amazing promo, and if he "wants" he can chain wrestle, or put on an entertaining match.  Cena's actually pretty versatile in the ring.  I can't say the same for Roman.  He can't cut a promo and he can't put a match together.  WWE just doesn't understand this.  Roman needs to rebuild and I'm not sure what WWE can do to fix this.  They tried with Russev, and Reigns still screwed that up.  When you have Lana on a mouthpiece and you're (Reigns) coming off as a heel, something is very wrong.

The one (main thing) about him that I can't stand, he can't sell moves or story to save his life, he can't act hurt either in ring or after a match is done, when he showed up on the after show less than an hour after he came out of Hell in a Cell after getting his US title he was just back to 100% mode talking about going after his next belt, absolutely no-selling the devils structure, was one of the most painful promo's I've seen him in.

I guess a reform of the shield could try to spread some of Dean and Seths crowd love back onto Roman, but as soon as he was on his own again they'll most likely just all turn on him when he puts on his Never Give Up 2.0 sweatbands, and rightly so tbh.
