The Real Reason WWE Still Push Roman Reigns
Their Plan 'R' (not named to denote 'Roman' or 'Reigns', but because plans A through Q had all failed) was to use Braun Strowman as an all-action red herring. The physicality with Brock Lesnar satiated the audience at home, whilst his lingering beached whale presence at ringside gave the live crowd enough hope that a Money In The Bank cash-in was imminent before they had the inclination to notice the copyright logo flashing up on the TitanTron against a shot of Roman holding the belt aloft.
The Revival couldn't beat The B-Team on the pre-show, but don't think the art of a good double act is completely stone dead in WWE. The Boss and 'The Big Dog' were simpatico at 'The Biggest Party Of The Summer', at long last getting what they both wanted after years and years and years of trying.
Many have wondered aloud what has made 'The Big Dog' different to just about every other failed project push Vince McMahon has engaged in over the last 35 years? Perhaps this was as errant a pursuit as hoping for heel turn, though. Has Roman's tumultuous time at the top in actuality been defined by the same attributes that his forbearers?
