Its understandable if you think that the current feud over the WWE World Heavyweight Championship is between Roman Reigns and the Authority & Vince McMahon, and not former title-holder Sheamus and his League of Nations mates. Everything is set up for Roman to feud with the authority figures on camera, not the heavies. And that probably works better when you look at it. Mr. McMahon, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon are top-level villains, while Sheamus, Alberto Del Rio, King Barrett and Rusev are middling heels, food soldiers at best in this rivalry. But at the end of the day, these four are the ones who have to step into the ring and serve as the Authoritys avatars. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzON-ULh-CY So what role will the foursome play on Monday night? We saw Sheamus battle Dean Ambrose in a steel cage match last week, and the League assaulted the Usos before that. So its likely they will continue to play a part in this ongoing saga. Well just have to see how they factor into plans.
