Seth Rollins Vs Roman Reigns Appreciation

[Captain Stud Muffin (BLM)]

Them boys are at the top of their game and a very hot crowd made this good

This whole thing was full of callbacks from MITB match to Roman hitting Seth same way he did when they broke the Shield. This feels like a Seth turn and they have lucked into something 

This feels like we are taking this to Mania but after Brock winning this is going to Saudi 

[polarbearpete]

That was a Mania main event level matchup, great emotion, great match. The DQ worked too, surprisingly.

[Rican]

Pretty easily the highlight of the show. I am bored to tears of the Roman title run but he delivers on the big shows.

[The Foreigner™: OffSZN]

Roman is so damn good when he's in his feelings

[Chiral]

The Shield entrance was glorious and we FINALLY got back to "Reigns is not well in the head despite his bravado" and they had a TON of fun callbacks to their past matches and stuff. Makes me want Reigns/Rollins/Lesnar II than Reigns/Lesnar 902354430942 at Wrestlemania.

[The Rick Jericho]

I guess let this run for the Summerslam program?

It was a good finish if it meant Roman and Seth at Mania

Doesn't look like it is, so it's shit if this is just leading to Elimination Chamber filler, I'm so over Brock and Champion Roman at this point.

Reigns/Rollins/Lesnar makes a ton of sense

Seth has beaten the beast at Mania, Roman still can't beat Seth when it matters, Brock is pissed 

You run back a "classic manin main event" with high stakes. You inserted Daniel Bryan into the Edge/Roman story so can work the same here

That was my feeling. Roman beating him down like that after the DQ finish made me want this to end with Rollins beating Reigns but I don’t believe for one second that will happen so the finish didn’t work for me.

[Gus Richlen Was Wrong]

Nope. It pretty much locked in more of the shit Lesnar feud so i can't care.

[FALLOUT Goldashausen #BLM]

This was the match of the night and likely the only thing I'll remember from an otherwise average show.

I'm not a fan of WWE's weekly DQ finishes but I think the finish worked well here and should keep both men's momentum going.

And for all the crap WWE gets for its nostalgia pops (of which there was a TON tonight), I actually liked Seth resurrecting the Shield stuff. It definitely worked in the context of their angle.

I wish Seth's character work wasn't so much more entertaining as a heel, because he was amazing as a face tonight.

You can still realistically do the character as a face but you need a strong heel

The crowd being firmly on his side towards the end of the match was very impressive since Roman's been getting a lot of face reactions lately.

The Roman we got tonight being vindictive and crazy is the one we been expecting to have the whole time 

He's cracking and has two big targets that have given him problems. The calm demeanor is fading which adds a shit ton to his character 

[Dave the Dave]

Seth being the face is funny. He’s relentlessly mocking Roman and wearing his Shield gear. In some universe, Roman is the face. His old friend who turned his back on him is rubbing it in his face.

But Roman is such a cock it doesn’t come across that way.

[asuka007]

Really good match. Wet fart of an ending.

I fear they’ll just wrap this up at the Saudi show and do Roman vs. Bork Lazer version 172 or whatever at Mania.

They're doing the WM20 booking without the underdog face to stake his claim. Instead, they have the only dude more dominant than the current champ

I absolutely loved the match and the finish made total sense especially with the promo on Smackdown Friday night. It's been brilliantly done so far.
