This isnt on the level of Hulk Hogan whining and helping to eliminate Sid Justice after Sid tossed him from the 1992 Royal Rumble, but its still a glaring example of selfishness. Throughout the summer and fall, Roman Reigns has faced challenge after challenge, whether its from the Wyatt Family, the Authority or the League of Nations. Through it all, his brother Dean Ambrose has been at his side, fighting all comers and watching his back. Ambrose has been the one true friend Roman can count on. So why, when Triple H tossed Reigns, did Roman not re-enter the match to help Dean Ambrose defeat the Game and win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship? Reigns wasnt battered into oblivion he had just tossed Sheamus before Hunter eliminated him. Instead of climbing back into the ring and exacting revenge and helping his buddy become champ Roman pouted on the outside while Ambrose squared off against Triple H and lost. Sure, from a storyline perspective, Triple H needed his 14th world title so he and Roman have something to fight over at WrestleMania XXXII (/sarcasm/), but come on. Were supposed to believe that Reigns is suddenly all about fair play and sportsmanship? (For the record, Authority members Kane and Big Show attacked Reigns after being eliminated last year, so he could have gotten even this year.)
