Months of Reggie inexplicably helping Dana Brooke retain her 24/7 Championship came to its climax Monday night, and the message was pretty clear:

“If I’m not getting laid, I’m going to get my title back.”

OK, Reggie didn’t say that, but this slow-moving story shifted into overdrive last week when Dana kissed Reggie on the cheek and he tried to hint at something more. Monday, he took Brooke to dinner on Valentine’s Day, then helped fend off the usual 24/7 geeks, only for her to rebuff another advance. Dana told him she didn’t want to lead him on, prompting Reggie to agree they could be friends… before rolling her up for the title.

Keep in mind Reggie could have done this at any point during the past two-plus months. So Reggie held off getting his title back in the hopes of getting lucky with Dana, and when she refused to sleep with him, he turned on her and took the title.

Wanna bet they don’t portray him as a heel but just as a “competitor” seeking a title?
