10 WWE Wrestlers Who Tried To Kill Roman Reigns
8. Daniel Bryan (And/Or Rowan)
At present, Daniel Bryan still has no part in the SummerSlam programme, and once again put off his ‘career-changing’ announcement on this week’s episode of SmackDown, instead ducking out of the question in disgust.
Was that because he had more important things to attend to backstage in Memphis, TN’s FedEx Forum? Namely, setting his handyman Rowan on Reigns?
There’s no particular logic behind pulling this stunt right now; Reigns is ostensibly aligned with Samoa Joe for the summer PPV, and quite why Bryan would target Roman isn't clear. The one obvious explanation is that it'd generate a super-fire hot angle, and any excuse to contrive such is justifiable. Bryan and Roman put on an absolute classic at Fastlane 2015, as WWE desperately tried to legitimise their chosen star. Four years on - and with attitudes towards Reigns having mellowed considerably - a renewal would be met with fervent anticipation as opposed to disgruntled contempt.
Making this the focal point of the company going head to head with AEW in the coming months does not seem at all silly.
