Hook heel Roman Reigns into everyone's veins right now.

The Universal Champ was on top form in front of a proper live crowd at both SmackDown and last night's Money In The Bank show, but it certainly didn't hurt that he was jousting with Edge. Whilst Friday's six-man tag was fun, it was also always going to be topped by Sunday's one-on-one effort.

Edge has been keen to present himself as more than somebody who drops in for a few matches here or there. He, regrettable injuries aside, likes the thought of being more of a full-timer than a part-timer, and he doesn't shirk what's best for business either.

Make no mistake: Roman winning was best for business.

MITB's main event could've headlined SummerSlam, to be honest. That's how big it felt in the build, and that's how well-worked the near-35 minute cracker was when it mattered. WWE got everything, from Edge's desperation and Roman's heel antics to Seth Rollins' interference and the outcome, 100% right.
