Just watched the clip. Has heel Roman been allowed to show that much personality lately or was this the first in a long time? It’s been a while..but to be fair, he’s rarely been on the actual shows much since becoming double champ to really show anything. That’s been part of the problem, they went scored earth on building dude up that literally no one feels like a challenger except Brock and to a lesser extent Drew and possibly Lashley.

This led to a hilarious moment on Observer Radio: Bryan: So Roman told Theory his Daddy isn't here anymore. Dave: Which of course was in reference to Johnny Gargano. Bryan: What? Dave: He was his father figure in NXT. Bryan:...I think it was in reference to Vince being gone since he had been backing Theory... Dave: Oh I guess that makes sense too. It could've been that. Good grief. I would ask if Meltzer even watches WWE but I don't watch WWE and I still understand the reference Roman was making.

It's a good line because it also works in kayfabe, since Vince and Theory had a relationship on screen. It isn't just some 4th wall breaking shit.

Theory got eviscerated last night, I'm sure he will be fine....eventually.
The crowd definitely didn't help as Roman was feeding off of those chants.

Yeah, I'm guessing maybe only half of the audience watched NXT and knew about Gargano and Theory's relationship.

I thought he was joking like I was on page 1. Turns out he was serious. Oh Dave.

Is there some way we can get a gif of Roman doing the shovel dance ala Triple H?

Heyman's "Oh, snap!" corpsing in the background makes it even better. Uso's, too.

Doesn't Theory still have the MITB briefcase? I don't think he should have won that in the first place, but maybe don't eviscerate the guy until he's lost his title shot. You want to give the crowd a moment to think he might win even though he's obviously not going to.

Yeah, I'm guessing maybe only half of the audience watched NXT and knew about Gargano and Theory's relationship. Plus they haven't been associated with each other in over 2 years or more, right? I think most people figured it was Vince as he was closely associated with Theory on TV since around November of last year, which is why it got that big reaction at MSG.

This is a brilliant way to bring Gargano back and have him dethrone Roman though.
Though he'd actually just choke and lose.
Cos it's Gargano booked by HHHunter.

Yup, sounds like typical MITB winner booking to me.

Which could be a good way to build him back up as a serious character, turn him face, whatever, and if it wasn't for Vince not clutching the book any more, I would have exactly zero faith in WWE doing that. Theory's pissing off everyone on the roster, his protection is gone, now he's gotta stand on his own and prove he deserved to win the briefcase, punking him out now is fine as long as it leads to growth soon.
