Loved that one of the very first things on RAW was that Stephanie put all the blame on the show not having a top belt (well, for about 20 1/2 hours, actually) squarely on Roman.
And the crowd agreed.
This is just incredible. If this doesn't lead to Roman Reigns snapping and turning heel, I'd be perfectly happy to see him fed to BRRRRAAAUUUN!

If this doesn't lead to Roman Reigns snapping and turning heel The stuff from the WrestleMania build alone already makes it the most justified heel turns in all of professional wrestling. This just added to it. |

I'm still confused why she blamed him for blowing it for everybody and then immediately gave him a chance at a title. Even if you needed an eighth guy who could feasibly be champion, what, was Big Show busy?

He must have been, because when they got the entire Raw roster on stage, he was one of only two active wrestlers missing. |

At least we HAVE an excuse. |

Kayfabe wise whatever her distaste for him, borne out of the HHH feud and his recent screw-ups, she knows and accepts Reigns is still a main event talent and even then it's in keeping with the Stephanie who, along with her husband, publically supported Randy Orton over Daniel Bryan despite the former once conducting a reign of terror against her.
If the above doesn't convince you as a viewer the fact that Foley, whose also in charge, might be more sympathetic to Roman might account for him being included.

I too wondered why Reigns would even be allowed in the match given Steph talked about how he blew it. Of course by the end of the night he had blown it again, so it was all worthwhile, haha.

As much as "you're just a LOOOOSER" cracked me up, I love even more that the other wrestlers give off a feeling of complete contempt towards him. Not just the fact that apparently every multi-man match he's involved in begins with all of his competitors jumping him immediately, but when Cesaro was named to the match he stepped forward and stared down Reigns for a good 5 seconds. I was cracking up.

Have Cesaro's frustations at not being seen as a main eventer directed at a guy who is and yet, as the company is fully acknowledging AND booking on their tv, has found ways to completely screw up the opportunities he's been given in a relatively short amount of time. |

I was cracking up. Shoot, you started the match where you had the heels, Sheamus & Chris Jericho, just pounding on him with Sami Zayn at a distance, and then Zayn decides, "Screw it, I'm joining!" The first half of this match revolved around pretty much everyone beating up on Reigns. |

I like to imagine that Stephanie blames all her problems on Roman Reigns.
Stuck in traffic, toast lands butter side down, long queue for the ladies toilets? Roman's fault.

Even if you needed an eighth guy who could feasibly be champion, what, was Big Show busy? It makes kayfabe sense to me -- how often do you see a real sports player (say in football) get dressed down by the coach and then sent back into the game with a chance to make up for the mistake? Happens all the time. She gave him motivation and gave him another chance. |
