Oh my god WWE learn to actually give a Roman title match a finish that isn't just 7 pounds of Uso bullshit or deflating the entire crowd.

First time in a long time I'm not really coming out of a Roman match irritated since it definitely feels like the Bloodline is on its last legs and they got definitively shown up for once, though still not entirely got the confidence that that's happening.

Instantly in the Top 10 greatest matches I’ve seen in my life. The atmosphere. The drama. The action. Everything.

It was a great match. I love a lively crowd, but I could have done without the FU Roman chants.

 Best visual of the match. Plus those shots with his wife too. |

And the Tribal Chief remains the ultimate final boss. He is Ghetsis' Hydregion, the Origin Forme Giratina from Legends: Arceus, and Shao Kahn all in one.
I've been a fan of Roman since he showed up in November of 2012 and never have I been more of a fan than right now.

The end for Roman’s title run is near. I don’t think Sami is anywhere near done either.

Both men played a blinder, Roman sold to perfection and Sami was white hot. Could have been an all timer that they show highlight packages of in 20 years time if they'd stuck the landing, but sadly its gonna be one of those 'MOTY but ultimately just used for clickbait vids on missed opportunities' ones.

If I had a nickel for every time a very over babyface lost to Roman Reigns in a title match in their home territory and had a weird “send the crowd home happy moment” after anyway, I’d have two nickels.
Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

That was perfection.
Love that they’re still keeping Jey on the fence for now, because a Jey-Roman feud post-Mania is money.

I feel like I’m being gaslit to hell when people say this wasn’t a massively missed opportunity.

unlike CATC I didn't really think Sami was gonna win so it was hard for me to get as invested in it, but even still, wow. what a goddamn match

I feel like I’m being gaslit to hell when people say this wasn’t a massively missed opportunity. It was an all-time classic match even with Roman winning. And Sami (unlike maybe Drew) will get the chance again for sure. |

Great match, but I couldn’t help but feel so annoyed when KO showed up like five mins later than would have actually been useful. What a dick.
I think Sami should have got the win even if he lost it straight back tomorrow night.

Yeah, the story recently has become Roman's kingdom is falling apart. He's not as strong as he was (Roman in storyline a few months ago would have murdered Sami in no time), he's getting more and more desperate, he's losing his grip on Jey, and he sees that his time is coming. Right now it's clear the Bloodline is coming to the end, and Wrestlemania will be the payoff when they are destroyed. |

I feel like I’m being gaslit to hell when people say this wasn’t a massively missed opportunity. Sami Zayn was great as a heel too, but I feel like this match proves that he should have been the underdog main event babyface long ago. This was one of the best WWE main events in a very long time in terms of storytelling. I was able to suspend my disbelief and think that maybe they had booked Zayn to win. I felt like I was watching a drama where I know something bad is going to happen to my favorite character and I can't stand the suspense. |
