4 Ups And 4 Downs From Last Night's WWE SmackDown (June 18)
Ups...
4. Bray Wyatt's Mind Games Work Against Roman Reigns
Roman Reigns is a tough guy to beat since he's only been pinned a handful of times in the last year. When Reigns was ready to hit a Spear on Sheamus to win the match for his team, Wyatt was there with a photo of Reigns with his daughter that was part of a WWE PSA promoting their performers as good fathers. Reigns lost the match because of the distraction. It was even better after the match because after Sheamus walked away, Reigns was alone in the ring and Wyatt said while the lights were out: "Happy Father's Day, Roman. Run!" Then there was the picture of Reigns with his daughter in the ring. Reigns sold it like he was all confused. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zE3qYubQo88 While this kind of thing is a bit cheesy because it's as if Wyatt has these voodoo powers just like The Undertaker, it also shows that this feud is going to get personal and that it will be tough for Reigns to overcome Wyatt. A feud that feels personal tends to be better than normal, so if all goes well these guys have the potential to do something special.
