8 Ups And 6 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Feb 6)
7. Reigns/Strowman Official
Why would this match being announced get a thumbs up? It very well could be clunky and plodding, with Roman Reigns possibly toppling Braun Strowman and ending his mystique.
Quite frankly, this match is about as logical as it gets. Strowman cost Reigns a title match, and Roman returned the favor the next night. Braun wants competition, and Reigns claims he’s “The Guy” in WWE. All of that sets this match up perfectly. Nevermind that it could be awkward or that Reigns could turn Braun into just another guy on his path to finally winning over the fans.
A logical match announced weeks in advance between two top guys who have a beef. Plus, it means Roman will compete in his first PPV match (excluding Survivor Series) that didn’t involve a title shot or #1 contendership since October 2015. Sorry, but that’s a streak that’s in need of breaking.
