I had a rather unpleasant discussion with a guy on Twitter who thought it was a heelish move on behalf of Reigns to beat up a 70-year-old man and a 40-year-old woman. Even when he didn't lay his hands on Steph and Vince has been actively out to screw him out of the title for awhile now.
Do you think this was a heel move by Reigns?
It seems the same people that have cried for Stephanie to get hers, are against it when it actually happened.
I liked the way they did it, with Stephanie getting some comeuppance while not having to eat a Superman punch or a spear. It's nice to see a face come out on top for once, and not be humiliated by Steph.

I think a getting knocked off the ropes/falling off the apron strikes a good balance between the wife beater/social justice warrior train of thoughts

He practically killed her.
Really though that was the tamest thing that could possibly happen. She didn't even act hurt at all.

She always takes bumps like this. Either she's hit by accident or someone else is used to knock her down. I think that's how you stop Steph. You build a Rube Goldberg machine so when Steph immediately goes and slaps the effige with Tom Phillips' face on it, there's a button on the cheek that starts the mechanism in motion which culminates in a giant safe hung above the ring landing on her head.

It's whatever. I'd much rather have her not exist as a character. Any payback she gets is underwhelming in relation to how awful her presence is.

About time something happened that put her in her place but she brushed it off and she will commence a new castration next week.

I didn't like it and it did nothing. It looked to me that she was supposed to be knocked to the floor but Vince moved wrong and so she took the over the top bump. That would have left Vince to check on her on the floor or be laid out beside her avoiding that mess. Either way it just adds to Hunter's return.
The Vince stuff came off as heel even though it should not have. He looks and acts like a frail old man when he isn't flexing which leaves Roman looking to beat up on a grandpa which is heelish no matter what they guy did.

Great time to have Nia Jax come out and help her cousin Roman. {Spoiler}

Just spear her and get it over with. What WWE is all of a sudden above violence toward women?
Drives me nuts watching some historically SLEAZY company ran by the sleazy Mcmahon family acting all "holier than thou" after all the crap they have done the last 20 plus years

Guess I'll be the first one to say it.
How'd she keep her "assets" from falling out?

They don't want man on woman violence

Of course!
Anything a babyface does that is slightly rebellious or against the rules, makes them heels!
But, damn, if they act like a goody, goody two shoes...then BOO THEY ARE BLAND! THIS ISN'T 1979 ANYMORE!

Roman can do anything he wants to Steph as long as someone gets out of the way or is pushed into her.
All he has to do is stand so he's got HHH and Steph are lined up and say "Hey Hunter, I'm about to throw this 50 lb concrete block at you so you better not move out of the way!"
