10 Reasons Sheamus Is The Right Choice To Be WWE Champion

7. The Reboot Of Bryan And Orton

What happened with Roman Reigns and Sheamus at Survivor Series was a straight reboot of what Daniel Bryan and Randy Orton did at SummerSlam 2013. For some reason, fans complained about the copying of that angle. But why? It was a hell of an angle, spurring WWE and Bryan on to new levels of critical and commercial success. Over two years later, why shouldn't they try that formula again with a guy like Roman Reigns in the Bryan spot and Sheamus in the Orton spot? It should eventually give way to a much bigger moment when the babyface finally ousts the heel champion. Sheamus is a natural in that Orton role, being a genuinely disliked person.
