Roman Reigns seemed like an odds-on favourite to win this year's Money In The Bank Ladder Match - and surely would have, were it not for The New Face Of Fear, Bray Wyatt. As Roman prepared to climb the ladder, Wyatt - wearing what looked to be a slaughterhouse apron - appeared from nowhere to deliver Sister Abigail.

It seems that WWE are now extremely mindful of how they treat Roman Reigns, following the negative fan reaction to his megapush to the main event of Wrestlemania XXXI. Instead of giving him the briefcase, they appear to be taking Roman down the slow road back to the WWE title picture. WWE will never outright admit that they pushed the former Shield member too hard and too soon, but this is as close to an admission as you can otherwise get.

Reigns and Wyatt could certainly have a decent feud that keeps both men busy for the next couple of months - Wyatt certainly has had very little to get his teeth into since his bout with Taker - it's just unfortunate that we've already seen Reigns defeat Wyatt on RAW 2 weeks ago, although that could very well be the reason why The New Face Of Fear is in the mood for slaughter.

As a long-time WWE fan, I have always enjoyed watching men pretend to beat each other up while wearing spandex. Extra points for facepaint, none for tassels. I love all things sci-fi. If there's a 'Star' somewhere in the title, I'll probably dig it. I'm a huge football fan too. For my sins, I support Manchester United.
