WWE And TNA: 7 Worst Moments Of The Week (Jan 24)

By Andrew Soucek /

4. Roman vs. The League

On SmackDown, the announcers hyped Roman Reigns battling the League of Nations in a 4-on-1 handicap match. However, they treated it as if it was a straight up singles match. None of them expressed outrage, or talked about how unfair it was, making it feel like it was business as usual. If they€™re going to book a match like this, then make it seem like The Authority is doing it to punish Roman, and there's no possible way he can win. And when he gets to the Rumble, he'll be so beaten down that he'll be easy prey. It's the ultimate injustice delivered from Hunter and Steph. But matches aren't treated as anything physically demanding in WWE, even if it involves being greatly outnumbered. Booking these non-stop handicap matches is so completely counter-productive, and terrible for the near-term future. WWE has so few credible heels, and because of that Roman will likely be wrestling everyone in the League of Nations one-on-one over the next few weeks. But having him hold his own against four guys will make that feel pointless, and make people change the channel.
