This is feeling a bit like Becky when she first started her path toward The Man. Just killing it on twitter and in promos.

YOOOO!!!!! I'm crying. He coming for everybody neck, this man is ruthless right now and he still doesn't even have his full heel character yet. No one is writing this shit for him, this is all Roman. His mic skills never been weak, he just had shit material. Just like his cousins, when you let them start being themselves or doing what they want outside of the bubble, you're going to get great results As good as the feud is between him and Jey, I can't wait until the Usos join up with him and they start cracking fools over the head He's having so much more fun as this character compared to anything else he's done as a singles star. It's great.

Going after Ryan Satin makes Roman an eternal babyface as far as I'm concerned.

This feud is so good it makes me want to just write it out because it's such beautiful pro wrestling soap opera storytelling. After Roman chokes out Braun, Jey comes out and looks disgusted with him while Reigns just looks baffled. Roman's standing over Braun with a chair, "This is how we take care of generations of our family. I don't want to do this to you." *beats the shit out of Braun with the chair* "Do you understand why this is so important? I love you! I would never hurt you! You have forced my hand. You have embarrassed us. I love you. The simple fact that you're trying to take my place on my level, MAKES NO SENSE." He kicks the chair over to Jey and goes "Swing the chair at me. Take your shot." Jey superkicks him instead, then grabs the chair and hits him as he yells "I LOVE YOU TOO" Then they have a pull apart brawl and Reigns superman punches him, then goes like "you've forced my hand and I have to do this now." but like talking to himself like a lunatic.
This storyline and the character work these guys are doing is f***ing brilliant.

This Roman/Jey feud is without a doubt the best WWE feud this entire year, and it is honestly not even close.
Jey refusing to hit Roman with the chair just for Roman to mouth off yet again, and causing Jey to snap and go "YOU LOVE ME!? I LOVE YOU TOO!!" and wailing on him with the chair was a chef's kiss of a moment
I feel bad for Jimmy Uso, cause Jey's being made into a star here. I don't think he's gonna be going back to a tag role when this is over.

Man. First of all: The Roman/Braun match was way better than it had any right to be, considering how much Brauns stock has dropped. Roman played his heel part well w/ a much more formidable opponent (I was also wondering, a heel has used the low blow out of a kick out spot before right? Way too good of a shtick) and I loved the submission finisher and how Roman locked it. These two always work well. But that segment after... Heel Roman is literally one of the best things in all of wrestling right now. I legit laughed at “at hell in a cell, this is you” because it was delivered so matter-of-factly. The “I love you’s”, his rationale of why he does this, offering Jey a shot..it’s SO devilish. Like a true antagonist that actually kind of makes sense in a sick way. Jey slapping him and the kick didn’t surprise me but Jey going at him with the chair w/ “I LOVE YOU TOO!” Literally made my eyes shoot open. Holy shit man, they’re just knocking it out of the park with Romans stuff every single time.

That ending segment ruled.
The segments when it comes time for Romey Rome to feud with Big E should be straight fire.

Rewatched that ending segment and man, Mark Henry was on one of the screens, directly in the middle. Just watch it and see Henry's reaction to this entire thing. He absolutely loves it. Reigns has tapped into that fire that Henry had circa 2011-2012.

Man, this feud is just too good. I agree with Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-] in calling his front chock guillotine, The Acknowledgment The way Roman starts talking to himself like he's gone crazy justifying this was Jey last chance is another great character moment. He didn't even look at Jey after the Superman Punch, just talking to himself looking past Jey. Every week this feud adds something new. I can't wait until Jimmy can wrestle again because I have to think he's going crazy not being able to be physically involved in this

They might just keep calling it the Guillotine Choke, but sometimes a name just adds more to the move, and it would in this case.

I don’t like Roman Reigns. And I mean that in the best possible sense. If I was in a live crowd, I’d boo the hell out of him. And not because I think he’s pushed too hard, but because he’s a cruel, mean, brutal bastard. I want someone to whip this dude’s ass. And what makes it worse? There may be no one who can. Because he’s that good, he knows, you know it, and there’s not a goddamn thing anyone can do about it.

It fits since it gives Roman what he wants: having his opponent essentially bend the knee to him.

Would love to have Keith Lee also quietly making his move and if he won the Rumble taking that jump to SD to fight Roman But that's months away. For right now, this vicious dickhead is going to beat the hell out of everyone. This is perfect for Otis to step in as the big babyface. He challenges Roman one on one straight up and gives him that fight but falls just short

I don’t care if the 3rd USO isn’t in this business or whatever he does for a living. But bring him on TV so Roman can do a number on him too.
Honestly the crowd would’ve been lusting over the chance of Roman destroying all 3 USO brothers.

But., yeah, it should be a slow burn.

Also here is the Catch-22
While I mention Big E and Keith Lee as possibilities, they don't have to take the title off Roman anytime soon. I honestly think Roman needs to walk into Mania as champ and walk out with the title. His resume needs that and you can easily position him in a match against Daniel Bryan or Otis as I said earlier
You need to give Roman that immaculate run that is missing off his resume while also slowly building Lee and Big E and I think either guy should be ready by Summerslam. That may seem like a long time but it is honestly not when you got two new guys "starting from zero" and becoming legit contenders to take down the top dog in the game
