12 HUGE WWE Money In The Bank 2019 Predictions You Need To Know

8. Roman Reigns Vs. Elias

WrestleMania weekend was a rather unsettling glimpse into Roman Reigns' future lest WWE approach his heroic return with extreme caution.

Amidst celebrations for 'The Big Dog', there was a healthy seasoning of boos from audiences that simply didn't accept him then and certainly don't intend to now. This was unexpected to say the least, though not unprecedented - just as Daniel Bryan's kickout from a lifetime concussion couldn't keep the cheers going as a boring babyface, Reigns beating leukemia couldn't bring everybody back around to nice guy Joe.

In both cases, the problems were self-made by WWE, yet addressed by the performers. Bryan became one of the most dynamic stars in the world when he turned heel, but that appears something long off the agenda - that same agenda that has been lodged in place for five years trying to establish Roman as John Cena's main event replacement.

He's wrestled with intense vim and vigor since return and spoke at length during 'Chronicle' features on the WWE Network of his desires to do the very best by everybody - a promise delivered upon seemingly everywhere from the ring to the children's hospital. He's thankfully against the detestable Elias before moving on to the ghastly Shane McMahon.

On behalf of your writer (and presumably WWE), please start being happy to see Roman Reigns beat up dickh*ds. .

Winner - Roman Reigns
