Instead of watching whatever boring promo they start with you should really watch that Miz/Swagger Madden match.

We're all in agreement this is just a placeholder till Roman wins at Mania right?

That's the general idea, but if ratings get truly dire, then that might change.

I have to wonder what their dire "OH gently caress!" back up plan is. Cena/Taker is set for Mania so they can't slap it on him. Maybe finally listen to the fans and give it to Dean?

V-----The problem is that WWE honestly thinks they can use this angle to build up Roman as a Rock/Stone Cold against the odds badass we all cheer for.

It's unfathomable to me that WWE is trying all the hail marys, but has still yet to consider 'what if the WWE Champion was a badass babyface who beat up a bunch of jerks for a while'? This is 'WCW never putting the WCW Title back on Goldberg' levels of absurdity.

I guarantee you that if they put the belt on Roman right now, we'd get Diesel levels of uninterest.

Bobby Lashley levels of disinterest.

Like... King Mabel level title run. It would be a wet fart and we all know it.

He'd probably feud with Kane for a payperview or three.

At least if they put the title on Roman it would feel like they're trying. Instead they have the third Authority Champion Through MitB in the last ~27 months.

That's like half of the MITB winners, tho. They just suck it up in the midcard until bam, championship.

rollins was in a high profile feud with ambrose, then moved on to feuding with cena, lesnar, and orton. randy orton is randy orton. john cena cashed in like two weeks later. they were ostensibly pushing ADR the whole time. sheamus is even worse than the normal terrible briefcase run

I agree Sheamus was booked pretty shittily and it lines up that this was a last minute decision but he's not the first nor will he be the last to just muck around trading wins in the midcard after winning MITB. Rollins is an obviously special case as MITB is an easy tool to push a new top heel, kinda like Edge's original cash in.

They really really really want to recreate the Daniel Bryan accidental build into Mania 30.

Just watch as Roman starts to join the Wyatts in a month.

So at five minutes fifteen seconds Roman is the 5th shortest championship reign in wwe history with Daniel Bryan having a slightly shorter reign at 4 minutes, 7 seconds

I think a lot of folks did. I'll admit to falling for WWE's smoke and mirrors in that instance, and with the Sean O'Haire vignettes, as well. Although that's partly because I liked watching him do cool moves in WCW, this was before I learned that guys who know a lot of moves aren't necessarily the best wrestlers. I consider Jerry Lawler to be a good in-ring guy, because he knows how to call a match, he sticks to what he does well, he sells extremely well, he bumps well, and he gives opponents room to get their poo poo in.

I wasn't saying that Sheamus is a better option than Reigns. I don't think they really have any good options with how horribly they've built everyone. I just know that Roman would get a fanrage backlash that would amuse me greatly.
