A lot of shine has gone towards Jey and Sami (and rightfully so) but the head of the table deserves recognition as probably one of the best top heels in wwe history. His character I feel is unlike any other in the past. He’s a gaslighting asshole who just uses people to keep his power. He is a legitimately terrifying Villian. He’s Forsure the best heel of the 21st century at the very least (better than HHH imo). He’s been playing his part perfectly. It’s a damn shame he was wasted those 5 years after the sheild breakup but he is more than making up for it. This past month of him gaslighting sami has been icing on the cake

I am only a casual viewer now but my goodness...
The transformation from square peg in a round hole over pushed and kind of lame babyface
To
Genuine monster heel mega star bursting with charisma and presence is startling
The lame dude with the silly vest and goatee does not even seem like the same guy to me
Trips still my fave heel though

It’s pretty incredible. Last night, and many times in the last year or two, I’ve thought “He’s The Guy”. It’s just astonishing considering how fumbled parts of his rise were.

Anyone who watches Better Call Saul he reminds me of a Gus Fringe or Lalo Salamanca, calm and collected but ruthless when he had to be

Roman yelling at Sami before ordering Solo Sikoa to finish him off was one of the best bits from last night.

I dunno, I’m conflicted…I *acknowledge* that Reigns is absolutely great in his current role but in the back of my mind I keep seeing the babyface being beaten to a pulp by Brock and l how I felt so sorry for the poor guy.

If they had run with this directly after he beat Taker he might honestly be in the convo for greatest heel of all time. Maybe Roman needed that extra time to get this comfortable or something, but I love the work he's doing rn regardless. I genuinely only watch WWE for Bloodline segments now. Nothing else really catches my interest, but everything they're doing is working for me. Props to Roman for finding this level. He's managed to cement a legacy in the business and that's always impressive to see.

I guess in a way he needed some sort of credibility to pull of the Tribal Character and we got the Shield reunions out of the way |

It’s been amazing to see where Roman has gotten to despite the dogshit booking they had him do after the shield breakup. Actually today is the eighth anniversary of the 2015 royal rumble and the rock coming out at the end to try and give Roman the rub, but a pissed off Philly crowd wasn’t going to go for it. That look the rock had of “the hell am I getting this stink on me for,” is funny. Although eight years ago tomorrow we had the blizzard episode of raw where lesnar and reigns helped by the verbal genius that is Paul hey man got me hyped for their match at mania.

Solidly an all time great character and a great performance.
Almost Homelander-esque ticking time bomb energy.
