1. How Will Reigns Be Protected This Week?

Last week, we saw the length to which WWE will go to protect Roman Reigns image. Reigns did not appear live in person on Raw, with only a video serving to represent him on screen. By not having Roman enter the arena, there was no opportunity to boo him. (Also, its worth noting that WWE altered the sound from a WrestleMania XXXII clip, which showed Reigns winning the title as adoring fans cheered. That didnt happen.)

Its clear WWE is very protective of its champ, and itll be interesting to see how WWE will continue to protect Roman on Raw. He'll be standing alongside his buddy Dean Ambrose along with Seth Rollins, so that should help some.

The fact is, there is little WWE can do just days before Money in the Bank, other than hold out and hope. But it will be interesting to see what happens when Reigns steps into the ring in advance of MITB and soak in the cheers and the jeers and see what the champ has to say. And no, no one is taking bets on whether he says he's "the guy."
