Vince McMahon’s pet projects are sometimes very obvious. If the casual fan is groaning about a bad joke or gimmick or lamenting someone’s push, there’s a decent chance the senile boss is completely behind it.

Reportedly, Vince is a huge fan of Reginald, which is why we’ve been subjected to his antics for months now when he clearly is out of place. First, he was Carmella’s sommelier. Then he became Nia Jax’s boy toy. Then he was the easily hypnotized goof who kept costing Nia and Shayna Baszler matches.

And now, after finally being headbutted out of that partnership with Nia and Shayna, Reggie is your new 24/7 Champion. Because a joke title should have a joke champion, probably. And it keeps Mr. Flippy on TV a bit longer.
