I never understood the IWC obsession of handling guys with kid gloves at some point these guys have to prove their worth. Plus Cena, RKO, and Brock aren't going to be there to bail them out forever. So just let A$AP Reigns cook if he flops try some one else out in his spot. But booking the same stuff over and over ain't gonna stop a new guy from flopping when it's finally their time.

Mark my words. Rusev is for Reigns to beat.

Reigns is going to rise like Cena.
Rollins is going to be his Randy/Edge.
Ambrose is going to be his Punk.

Once Reigns is rolling, he'll have two big feuds from ONE person that owes him from way back and from the only person who's ever pulled his card:

...and within the next year or so, the end of 'Mania will be Ambrose/Rollins in the "co-main" and Cena/Reigns in the main.

Book it. :ufdup:

Well he's never gotten revenge on Seth so there's that
I don't think Roman is in Seth's future but I guess. I don't know how they'd pick that back up without one of them looking bad.

He looks so good in that first picture :noah: I'm here for this prediction. I always preferred he float in the upper midcard than go straight into the main event scene. The thing is that the WWE has to keep his opponents looking strong beforehand and somewhat after so that it is significant when he beats them.

Co-sign all this. A US reign (don't ask me how) is a better route for now. Wasn't a good look when folks already knew it'd be him winning the RR a full year in advance, could already smell the turn on him building (and will probably grow if they stick with that plan.)

It's time Skip gave him some payback for sending him to Bushville on many occasions though :banderas:

I know they test programs on house shows so I'm praying this leads to a Reigns/Rusev program and a lengthy Roman US champ run. Maybe having a superstar that you're firmly behind and pushing as a main eventer hold the US title can give it credibility.

:blessed: Could it be?
OH you mean like how they gave the belt to former wwe champion sheamus :ld:

OR former wwe champion miz :ld:

OR former world champion Dolph Ziggler :ld:

OR heel on the rise dean ambrose :ld:

you just don't like the belt, accept it

Where did I ever mention liking the belt and what does that have to do with anything?

The only one on that list that is comparable to Roman is Dean and his title reign got put on the back burner for The Shield as a whole. It's not his fault that The Shield was bigger/more important than his title.

Much prefer that than his absurd, artificial push because of "the look."
I like Reigns and have rooted for him since he was being shyt on by fans while in The Shield.
I look forward to anyone but Cena but not at the expense of dude being booked exactly like the next Cena.
It's cool until he's overcoming the odds every week and stepping over Rollins, Bryan, and others on his way to the brass.
Y'all complained about a decade of Cena and yet clamor for a decade of the Samoan edition.
As a Reigns fan, I don't see how you couldn't support him gaining steam organically and being the face of that upper mid-card before putting the title on him.

A long meaningful feud w Rusev might be what he needs and depending on how things go it could make the belt seem relevant. The push to the stars was making everyone hate him and it seemed way too forced. A slow build is always better imo
