WWE: 8 Ways CM Punk's Departure Will Change Everything

2. Roman Reigns Will Get A Quicker Push

Roman Reigns1 With CM Punk abruptly leaving WWE, the company desperately needs to replace that lost star power, and who better to fill the void than Roman Reigns; the very guy WWE has already been weekly giving a massive rub. Aside from pinning Punk twice in tag team competition, Roman Reigns almost won the Royal Rumble in a finish that had the WWE Universe reacting uproariously positive to. In addition to that, he has the kind of menacing physique that Vince McMahon is known to favor, and is a solid in-ring performer packing the most devastating Spear since Goldberg€™s. Moving forward, we know that The Shield will face The Wyatt Family in an Elimination Chamber match at the PPV of the same name, so a push may not come immediately on the next episode of Raw, but WWE may use the six weeks between Elimination Chamber and WrestleMania to separate Reigns from The Shield and build him up as a singles competitor with a marquee match. Keep in mind, The Shield do have reasons to begin a feud from the inside as there is some heat brewing between the stable rankings.
