After all, this is unquestionably the biggest match in Roman Reigns career, and should be the culmination of months and months of positioning the man as the next big thing. Its also probably the last chance Triple H will ever have to main event WrestleMania for the companys top title. This is a big deal, regardless of how you feel about either man. It should be the passing of the torch in some considerable style: but last night the expected confrontation turned into interference from The Game in the booked main event of RAW between Reigns and (yawn) Sheamus. After a little back and forth, Triple H completely destroyed Reigns without any assistance from weapons or allies, savagely beating him down and bloodying his face to pose over him, title held aloft, as he received medical attention. He was cheered manically as a super-over babyface while doing so by the normally fairly casual Detroit crowd. Its five weeks and five days until WrestleMania 32. After nearly a year of rehabilitation following the disastrous lead in to last years WrestleMania, Roman Reigns, the heir apparent to the WWE throne, is still being booed out of the building on a regular basis.
