1. Roman Is Still Delusional

There’s a fine line between confidence and arrogance/delusion, and Roman Reigns might be crossing it.

Reigns came out during GM Kurt Angle’s announcement about who Brock Lesnar’s next opponent would be. Roman reminded everyone for the umpteenth time that he is the uncrowned Universal Champion, and that he beat Brock at Greatest Royal Rumble… except, he didn’t. (The referee’s decision is final.)

Bobby Lashley had to come out and put Reigns in his place, telling him to step aside and let someone who could “finish the job” to challenge Lesnar. Bobby noted that Roman has been trying for three years to beat Brock, to no avail. Kudos to Lashley for telling it like it is.

But hey, Roman will be a full-time champ, so we should cheer that!
