10 Burning Questions For WWE Raw Superstar Shakeup

1. Will Roman’s Conspiracy Theories Continue?

After losing his WWE Universal Championship title match cleanly, Roman Reigns came out on Raw last week and offered his thoughts.

It turns out that rather than picking up the pieces and moving forward, Roman vented about conspiracies against him: No one told him that Brock Lesnar has re-signed with WWE (which would have had no impact on the match itself), and no one told him about his upcoming cage match for the title at Greatest Royal Rumble.

That sure sounds like a battle cry of a crybaby.

So was that weird rant a one-off, or is this the new direction for Reigns, a guy who kvetches about the deck being stacked against him? You can argue that Vince McMahon favors Brock, but there was nothing unfair about how Roman earned his title shot or the match itself.

Who knows? Maybe complaining about the world being unfair is what will finally unite fans behind Roman… or maybe not.
