This would mean a title change on tonight's ppv.
Another consequence would be that the Fiend as title holder for only one week.

Heel Roman (c) vs Big E at WrestleMania needs to happen

Post #1703 » by **Stanford** » Sat Aug 29, 2020 1:33 pm

Oh look, everyone loves Roman now. An excellent bad guy.

They finally turned Reigns heel? wut?

Especially with no fans? what a shame but better late then never....

Please for the love of god let's completely repackage him and ditch the outdated Shield music and attire
also does that mean we won't hear Michael Cole scream "Big Dog!" anymore?

Heyman doing his promos will do wonders for him

Honestly I want to hate him even more but i'd rather he be in a role that he's much more accustomed to (i.e. being a cocky, badass heel) rather than some role that he has no business playing (i.e. superman babyface, which no one since Hogan has been able to do well).

If I'm going to boo him, at least let him be an actual heel.

I mean its probably too late for him being a properly, long term successful FOTC type guy but at least he can go through the proper transition from singles heel to babyface the way he should have years ago.

This segement changes the whole perception of him

Everyone liking Roman as a bad guy is probably why they turn him with no fans. We don't need crowds cheering the top heel here.

Oh, and this almost signals he's winning the title at Payback. To get that "heat".

Also, they clearly feel they can turn Roman now because Drew is the current Top Guy in the WWE

Man for sure Roman's winning, but do we really want to continue this Fiend-Braun-Alexa storyline? Not sure why I'm getting bored with it

JohnPferdelack · Post #1709 » by **JohnPferdelack** » Sun Aug 30, 2020 6:02 pm

Depends more on what the company has in store the Fiend-Braun-Alexa storyline. Are there news about the directon of that topic ?

Hell yes, I'm all for any of the Usos getting a singles title match. Don't care if it's just a vehicle to show Reigns is definitely a bad guy, the Usos have been the best tag team IN THE WORLD (yeah, I said it) for years and one of them deserve this.

Hell has officially froze over... I've been asking for both of these things for so long

Read on Twitter

Its about damn time, frankly speaking they should have done this after he got booed at the rumble (well, the full turn at mania that year at least).

I’m starting to think Reigns vs The Rock as the Mania main event is a go behind closed doors. This uso storyline with Roman and the emphasis on the Samoan dynasty has been tremendous and what better way for it to crescendo?

I think Rock would love for his retirement moment to be officially passing the torch once more (previously with Brock and Cena).

ETA: after that closing segment it makes me so sad that they waited this long to turn Roman. He’s so damn good.

"WHICH ONE, ARE YOU?!"

Damn Jey felt that man

Celtsfan1980 · Post #1715 » by **Celtsfan1980** » Wed Sep 30, 2020 8:27 pm

I don't know if it will last, but ratings have held up well for several months now. I'm happy.

tugs · Post #1716 » by **tugs** » Sat Oct 3, 2020 7:55 am

Always wanted to have a heel badass Roman but never expected a tribal chief/mob boss vibe character out of him. He's so confusingly scary and he's giving out an I'mma destroy you aura without even saying it.

The show's have been solid

Also, say what you want about Alexa, but her acting skills are elite. Perfect for her new character

Celtsfan1980 · Post #1719 » by **Celtsfan1980** » Sun Oct 4, 2020 12:40 pm

The main events on the big cards have been mostly Smackdown lately. The first show for the Thunderdome was on Smackdown. The first day of the draft will be on Smackdown. Does Vince consider it the equal at this point? If we're getting the Rock vs. Roman next year I hope we're getting it on Smackdown instead of Raw.

On another note I can't help but wonder what ratings would be like if Heyman and/or Triple H were given control of the show around the time they went on Fox. I'm afraid we'll never find out.

Anybody watching the 'great' draft tonight?
