Eight days earlier, Bobby Lashley surprised a lot of people by cleanly winning his PPV match against Roman Reigns.

Monday night, Roman got his win back, hurdled Lashley in the pecking order and stamped his ticket for his fourth WWE Universal Championship title match against Brock Lesnar. Nevermind that he’s lost his last two title shots – including a WrestleMania 34 one-on-one bout where he was simply outclassed – Reigns says he’s the uncrowned champ, so we’ll get a coronation whether we want one or not.

In Brooklyn. Where fans will shred the match from the opening bell. But as Roman told fans on Monday, people can say he’s being crammed down their throats, but they can learn to like it or else shut up, because he’s going to SummerSlam.

Could anyone else hear Vince McMahon when Reigns said that?
