NOBODY Should Acknowledge Roman Reigns Because...
The long-standing Undisputed WWE Universal Champion has short-changed everybody.

A week removed from the critically acclaimed Royal Rumble finale featuring Sami Zayn's dramatic and violent severance from The Bloodline, WWE revealed a graphic that afforded fans an intoxicating first look at the assumed WrestleMania 39 main event.
Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes positioned next to one another surrounded by belts, bells, whistles and the flashy veneer of WWE's Hollywood-ised WrestleMania logo made real was - pardon the pun - dream sequence stuff when it dropped. 12 months ago, the contest was AEW's co-founder, Executive Vice President and arguable top star Vs WWE's unstoppable Champion, most valuable all-rounder and inarguable biggest star. Now, it...still feels like that, only WWE have both guys on their books and can actually put the "outsider" over as one of their own.
There's the not-insignificant matter of Reigns having to get through Zayn first, of course. But at this point it's reasonably safe to assume that 'The Tribal Chief' will somehow find a way through what could be the most difficult challenge of his last three years. He'll wilfully march into Montreal with the front of a man desperate to maul the Challenger in front of his own family, but a front is all it is. Zayn issued the challenge on the February 3rd SmackDown, but Roman only accepted it when he'd regained a physical advantage thanks to Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso.
Per the closing moments of the Royal Rumble, Jimmy's brother Jey was absent of course. His presence at Elimination Chamber could determine everything about the Road To WrestleMania for every key character, just as it did when the mythology behind 'The Head Of The Table' first began three years ago.
