One thing I'm confused by, I thought Roman already signed the contract on Smackdown when they revealed he was sitting next to Heyman? Roman mentioned just before the Heyman revealed he wanted the contract altered

Oh okay. I was just watching a clip after the fact and not closely so I missed that subtlety. Thanks!

My fellow thirsters, I don't watch WWE any more and the usual rule is
Everybody is hotter as a heel
So tell me
It's Reignsing, is it pouring?

Man, heel Roman just feels so right. It's strange to say this about a guy who's been given so many accolades, but they really f***ing wasted him for years. Once he gets a new theme song, this shit's going to be money.

Once he gets a new theme song, this shit's going to be money. Someone said this before, but it bares mentioning again. A big reason I feel this is working as well as it is, is because he was a face for so long. It's actually an amazing metaphor for what we all seem to be goring through right now. We all kind of have to suffer so that when the great times come, we appreciate them that much more.

I don't disagree with ya, but I can't help but imagine how things would've gone if we got this Roman starting the night after WM 33.

I was finally starting to enjoy over the top face Roman. This is fine too. I’m interested in seeing where it will go. The Usos have always been pushed strong so this doesn’t seem it was out of nowhere.

It just works.

It just works. As they should Just because it is a Roman heel turn doesn't mean you're going to get all the answers in 2 weeks. This is going to build over time. No diff then when Bayley turned heel this year, same with Seth at the end of last year Roman has barely, spoke, wrestled or did anything diff outside of his mannerisms but he's become the most interesting thing on the show. That's how you hook them along for the ride

Either way it's something different from the norm.

Who thinks they might lean into Roman’s Samoan heritage when he gets his look/music repackage? “My Island” and “tribal council” language they’ve been using has me thinking that.

Was Jimmy injured or something? When is he able to comeback? You would think he is also in the plans if just ready-to-use soon.
