I go back-and-forth on Reigns. Not between like and dislike, but between apathy and dislike. The Reigns-Mahal feud perfectly hit the apathy spot as when it became clear that was the direction that was my cue to use those segments as bathroom breaks. But I'm firmly back in the dislike camp. There's a lot of versions of Reigns that I don't like, but "shooting" Roman Reigns may be my least favorite. The Cena program was fine but the version of it with Lesnar and Lashley are terrible to me. And the difference is that Reigns and Cena dished it out in equal order to each other, but Lesnar and Lashley either choose not to or perhaps are not allowed to respond in kind. If after Reigns had talked about Brock's schedule, Heyman goes out there and talks about how Brock has the schedule he has because and proceeds to list off all of Brock's accomplishments and says something along the lines of "Roman, you could've had a schedule like this as well if you hadn't washed out of the NFL... Sorry, I meant if you hadn't washed out of the CFL". And the comment about Lashley's MMA career where he said dismissively "You went to MMA. How'd that work out for you". The criticism of Lashley's MMA career would be that he seemed content to face and beat guys that he physically overmatched and didn't really challenge himself with top-tier competition. But at the end of the day, he was still 15-2 and won his last 8 fights. When Reigns made that comment, Lashley should've immediately shot back "A lot better than your football career". Although I don't know if that would've been the smartest thing to do career-wise.
If I could watch the Lesnar-Cormier fight with one person it would be Vince McMahon. He's going to watch this complete physical specimen who looks like he was made out of a lab and he's going to fight this short, chubby guy that he's going to tower over. And that short, chubby guy is going to beat that physical specimen's ass.
