3. Will Reigns Or Ambrose Become A Company Man?
If youre familiar with the 1998 Survivor Series and the Deadly Games championship tournament, then you know why a lot of fans are wondering whether Roman Reigns or Dean Ambrose will become the next corporate champion. To start things off, Triple H offered Reigns a chance to be The Man and bypass the entire tournament field if he agreed to side with the Authority. Roman predictably declined, which led Hunter the following week to chat with Kevin Owens, Cesaro and Alberto Del Rio about being company men. Its clear that the Authority is hedging its bets and wants to make sure that the next WWE World Heavyweight Champion is their guy. Referring back to the 1998 Survivor Series, those who know it well remember the infamous moment that the Rock slapped the Sharpshooter on Mankind, only for Vince McMahon to immediately call for the bell (ala the Montreal Screwjob), thus revealing that the Rock had become a corporate champ. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XY5ZpYY5pvs Many fans wonder if this could happen Sunday, with either Reigns or Ambrose taking the same plunge their former Shield teammate Seth Rollins took last year. The question is, which one would join the Authority to become the corporate champion?
