8 Ups And 7 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (April 11)
1.Everybody Hates Roman
Man, Roman Reigns just cant catch a break, can he? The poor guy shows his face Monday night, and hes instantly booed. He punches the League of Nations, and he gets booed, He tags in Bray Wyatt, and the villainous cult leader is cheered while youre showered with boos. So much for being the new face of the WWE.
In all seriousness, unless WWE is planning to move Roman into an in-between phase (think a cocky champ who thinks hes standing up for whats right and justified, even if it means attacking a fan favorite), then hes in for a really bumpy ride. And considering that hes facing AJ Styles in three weeks (and likely winning that bout), then you can imagine just how rough its going to be.
Reigns has the unenviable task of running with the ball after WWE spent the better part of the past year-plus building him up as the guy, and fans dont buy into it. You can only hope that he finds a way to emerge from this, much in the same way his cousin was once destined for greatness and was rejected by the fans. Things turned out OK for The Rock, dont you think?
