Dude's only been back three months and they're already clearly out of shit for him to do. He just keeps facing Elias and McIntyre every single week, winning every time because f*** having any sort of variation in anything, in between some completely aimless feud with Shane that Roman himself doesn't even seem to actually care about beyond that these dudes keep attacking him.
And yet he's on both shows every week.

He’s helped to ruin Smackdown. That’s pretty consequential.
Although the wild card rules were gonna do that anyway.

The problem is they don't want to rush him into anything major yet. Which shows they may actually have gotten smarter on how to handle him but it means that he's just there.

Inconsequential? It's Monday Night Yard.

Promo wise this is actually the best he's ever been on his own. They're usually kept short and sweet. He could stand to lose some matches here and there, though.

He's just counting the days until Summerslam when he can take the title off Kofi.
Then Brock cashes in and takes the title from Roman.
And the Rivalry is reborn!

I like how he's just a guy now rather than The Guy. He's as relaxed as he's ever been and the crowd hasn't turned on him yet. He's doing well with what he's given now.

Honestly what can he do? He has been all over everything for years. He's faced AJ, Brock, Owens, Rollins, Cena, Taker, HHH, Strowman etc etc. Been there done that. They ran him long and hard and shoved him down our throats constantly. And now you're complaining he's not the main focus?

The worst part of the whole Roman vs Brock feud was turning Lesnar full "I hate WWE and don't want to be here" heel. It's destroyed a lot of Brocks 'Drawing power" in my eyes. The guy who hates WWE vs The Guy WWE fans hate. In hindsight the entire feud of Reigns vs Lesnar is like an insane acid trip gone bad. |

He's already main evented more WrestleManias than Steve Austin, a legit all-time great. |

Everyone thinks a program with Bryan would be fresh (which it kind of will I guess), but he’s even faced him before. I think the only fresh fued he could of had was with Ambrose, but we all know what happened there |

The problem is that Shane is just unwatchable at this point in his current heel character. Frankly I don't even understand why this feud is happening other than for the sake of a "McMahon vs. Whoever" authority angle. If anything Shane is more or less right to want to beat up Roman. Reigns attacked his dad is a more or less unwarranted way, just because Vince thought Elias was a bigger get for SD than Reigns. That isn't much justification for a face to attack a 73 year old man.

It does feel like he's in the holding pattern, just involved with filler angles until it's safe to either move the title from Kingston to him without fan backlash, or until they make the move to Fox in October.
I still think, that the first episode of Smackdown on Fox is going to feature him winning the WWE Championship from whoever is holding the championship at that time, but considering they're already burning through the Shane McMahon match at "Superstar Showdown," I feel like it's pretty obvious that he'll be in the Smackdown title picture by SummerSlam.

Friend B "I can feel colors. And they all hurt" Friend C "I've booked 3 years with 6 matches between Lesnar and Reigns with Roman never getting a decisive win after we sac the roster to him." All " make it stoooopppp" |

I thought they used him pretty well tonight, honestly. It was very standard babyface booking, but the crowd got invested and they got a nice moment with him helping R-Truth get the 24/7 title back.
