5. Announcement On Roman Reigns Condition And Comeback
There should be no immediate rush to bring back Roman Reigns to WWE television. Yes, he's the top contender for the WWE World Heavyweight Title at WrestleMania, but it's important the company sell his beating at the hands of Triple H. When the situation was reversed following TLC in December, the fact they allowed 'The Game' to appear on NXT programming quickly after getting his ass handed to him by Reigns was a mistake. That shouldn't happen twice, it wouldn't achieve anything if it did. If Reigns were to swoop in and gain the upper hand, where does the story go from there? It's all about biding time on the situation, especially considering fans aren't exactly responding favourably to the top babyface role WWE have in mind for the challenger. On Monday Night Raw, a straightforward medical update would do for now. At least until Triple H has had his match against Dean Ambrose at Roadblock, Reigns should stay away from the show. If that doesn't happen, it'd only remind fans again that they prefer Ambrose to Reigns, which is a disaster waiting to happen. Absence may just make the heart grow fonder.
