They'd rather waste another year of this bullshit than vacate him for an injury.
And I say that being in the camp that thinks Vacant is the only wrestler that will stop this misery.

Trish was women's champion for two and a half years and was injured at one point in 2005, and they never vacated the belt She only had the belt for about 15 months, but she was injured and doing the Christian storyline for at least 6 months of that

Roman having to vacate due to injury would be a disaster. WWE has put all of their eggs into this basket, and if it breaks, then that is 3 years of effort down the crapper, as WWE have built up nobody to his level.
It's asinine for the WWE to have banked everything on Reigns.

Last time i checked, he was not advertised for Payback and Fastlane, so he has a lot of time to rest

And now comes the point in the story where now they are learning they may have pushed this entire thing a little too damn far. Because this was bound to happen at some point for as long as they have ridden this damn horse and they keep riding it the wheels eventually would have fallen off and if this is a bad injury and he and WWE keep trying to push this through it only gets worse for Roman because WWE will just move the f*** on. this reminds me of what happened when Cena got hurt ended up having to forfeit the WWE Championship it's why investing a year plus title reign into one person with clean wins is a very risky proposition

It's asinine for the WWE to have banked everything on Reigns. They’ve already got Cody, Sami, KO, Seth, now Jey built up to the level of main event type faces in the last couple of years. And Roman already isn’t there for most shows. They’ve really not banked the company on him.

Must not be a big injury if he was still able to work the match. We will see what kind it was.

Unless it's career ending he's not vacating the belt, they clearly don't care about dragging this reign out past its expiration date and he doesn't work that often anyway so it really wouldn't change anything.
And I say this despite the fact that I expect Vacant to be the one to end this title reign.

He could vacate it. It would pause the Bloodline story, but that means they can just pick it back up when he is healthy. A pause might be nice.
It would also show that he was never pinned or submitted.

Having him vacate it, win it back and having a wrestler beat him say six months after wouldn’t be the same.

I have to say that, if this is their way of getting Roman's title run to outlast Hogan's, it's a piss-poor way to build up the number. And if he becomes injured enough to force him to relinquish the title (or, Christ forbid, his leukemia returns), he cannot expect to be allowed gracefully to ride off into the sunset with the goodwill of the majority of the fans. A record-breaking title run that ends with vacating the title is a waste of all that time (in my view) and an insult to the other guys in the locker room he could have had a hand in building up.

And Roman already isn’t there for most shows. They’ve really not banked the company on him. Seth and Cody are main event level faces, the others, not so much. Jey hasn't won a singles feud yet, and he lost another top title match in Detroit on Saturday. A main event type face should have actually won a singles feud, and he sure as shit should not have the record in title matches he has. He might become a main event level face, but he's not at that level yet. Owens has lost more title matches to Reigns than anyone else and his sole top title Reign was seven years ago, when he was literally handed the title by Triple H and that run bombed. Sami Zayn lost to Reigns, and now holds the tag team titles with Owens. Dude was brilliant in the Bloodline story, but it looks like he's going to stay in the midcard.
Over the past three years, they have spent so much on Reigns, and there is also the time they could have spent building up others. He has been the focal point for almost all of the top stories on both shows for a lot of the past three years, and holds both of the top titles.
If Roman has to vacate the title, then that would be a huge blow.

hope he is okay and he seems like a very good guy but having this title run end up falling victim to vacant would be exactly what WWE deserves for trying this sort of shit
i've always been adamant that this is the way that the title run would end and I wouldn't be surprised if it eventually still is the case

Roman has been handed everything under the sun and people just can't tolerate it anymore so I really think they should make him drop the belt as soon as possible. Roman has the power to say "ok iv held these titles long enough" and then put over someone in a big way. The likes of Hogan and Triple H have been rightfully blasted for their politics backstage but Roman seems to get a free pass when he has jobbed just as little (especially cleanly) if not less so than they ever did.

A big reason why they should have struck while the iron was hot at Mania instead of delaying the Cody coronation for a year is both men have to be healthy in 8 months' time which is a gamble given how all it takes is one freak accident in ring to mess it up not to mention the pressure they put their bodies under to stay in shape.
He's off for the next two months and will probably work a safe tag match at Survivor Series just in case.
