Roman turns out to be an Inhuman. Continuity is largely ignored, including well established abilities and motivations...holy crap, Bendis writes for RAW! Don't you put that evil on us!!

I don't even hate Roman (he inspires apathy), but that's funny right there

I'm not his biggest fan but I really don't know what some of you guys want anymore. Like, he's nowhere near the main event scene. He's likely going to be the U.S champ for a bit, meaning he'll be around the midcard. That should be enough, unless some of you really want/think he should be jobbing to Bo Dallas and Braun Stroman He beat Owens in a cage match a week ago then beat the crap out Rusev right after. He's still very much in the main event picture.

Reigns doesn't have to be main eventing to be in the main event picture. You have to see that he's still right there.

They don't let just anyone do that. Also it was the main event of the show. I'm not sure how I'm wrong on that one. He might not be a main event we for the next two years but he just was so I'm not willing to say he's clear of it yet. And I'm pretty sure he was in a couple number one contender matches and the 4 way for the title. I don't want them to bury him under the earth and he's not he #1 focus anymore but he's still very much the "top dog".

He's not in the world (universal....you know what I mean) title picture. I just think it's clear he's gonna be one of the top guys. That's reality. This is as close as his detractors are going to get in terms of getting what they want

I'm fine with it. Keeps him busy and away from the higher titles. Roman has been involved in the ending of Raw six straight weeks. This does nothing to change that, probably. Don't ruin my dreams.

On a weak-ass spear to boot. I can't take that a guy big like a tree loses on that move.

I was expecting him to win, and I have no problem with it. It's how he won that drove me nuts. Rusev hit him with every one of his signature moves multiple times, destroys his back, puts him in the Accolade, then Roman just powers out of the shit and spears him again like Superman. It's dumb and it makes Rusev look like shit, and the wrestling itself look fake.

Rusev should have said
"Roman win title belt. Rusev go home with Lana. I think you know who real winner is"

I liked it. I like Roman in small enough doses. I like Rusev. I think they probably had one of the best matches of the night. It had proper psycology, a actual storyline reason to fight, and clearly defined heel/face alignment. More then one can say for most of the matches on the card. Hopefully Roman as US champ öets him face a more diverse gang of opponents.

Hey, they're booing him. Throw a title on him for no reason. That'll fix it.

I don't even hate Roman (he inspires apathy), but that's funny right there I don't see how it's funny. It's some ugly, fat, middle age guy giving Roman an obscene hand gesture just because he doesn't like Roman's wrestling character. I mean, unless Roman f***ed his wife/girlfriend, then he should just be lucky he even had one to begin with.

Roman Reigns won a match, so naturally some people are gonna be pissed off in the short term, but long-term you'll appreciate it because the longer he holds this belt the longer he will be kept away from making Owens belee dat for the Universal belt.

It would be better for the US champ to have charisma and good mic presence like Lana/Rusev, Cena, or Rollins did but I gather Roman will take a shot at doing Xena's Open US Challenge gimmick which probably will produce some of his best TV matches in his career.
It could work but Roman needs to stay away from those suffering succotash remarks when he asks mystery opponents to just bring it.

The thing is, they've rarely actually punished ANYONE for Wellness to the extent many believe they do, and seem to have wanted with Reigns. Most people who have been caught over the years were lower carders anyway and couldn't be depushed any further, and the only example I can think of right now that did get actively depushed was Regal in 2008, who from all accounts was on the verge of a world title run before he relapsed.
