Crowd was also dead by the end, which didn't help. But, lest we forget, that Raw did give us the one true ship: Dean x The Lunatic Fern.

That Raw wasn't BAD IMO but was rather underwhelming and I hate that they're actually gonna try to turn AJ heel against Roman. So loving backwards.

I think they will actually deliver on the non-swerve of AJ having nothing to do with the good brothers attacking people.

Or they will go full bore with a heel Roman and have him be responsible for the attack as a way to try to turn the crowd on AJ.

That was still a lot better than Raw has been as recently as a few weeks ago but its last hour was real boring.

I don't think they're going to turn AJ heel, I think they're going to have him stay face, have the Bullet Club almost win the match for him, have AJ turn it down and consequently lose to give him something to do/the Bullet Club a way to enter the WWE without just being in the tag division.

Also, it's amazing how much Roman Reigns is an afterthought on Raw since winning the title. He has the belt, he's the guy, he's going to main event the PPV and yet he really isn't actually doing very much.

That would actually be cool though? They'd actually turn Roman which is smart business, cement AJ as a top five face, and would give Anderson and Gallows loving NUCLEAR heat.

A sharpied sign and a shag carpet

Roman "the guy" Reigns isn't doing much because the second he does something, anything, he get's booed. And he doesn't handle the boos well.

WWE higher ups both don'twant Roman booed, and are also hoping that if they keep him off TV then we will forget to boo him.

AJ shouldn't be a top face, he can't promo and he's 38 with a bad back.

Anderson and Gallows cost AJ the title, form the Roman Empire with Reigns, bring Vickie in to be their manager.

Not too surprising. In the run-up to WM he was on TV the bare minimum amount of time necessary to promote his match.

This would not be cool at all. Pairing Anderson and Gallows with Reigns would be the quickest way to ruin them. The nerd fans that like them from NJPW would hate seeing them teamed with Roman and the stupid fans that still somehow don't have a visceral hatred for Reigns would be all like "who are these jobbers and what is this poo poo?" It would be a truly dismal pairing.

I said top five. Which is fine. Say they turn Roman. Your top five faces are:

Cena
Rollins
Ambrose
Cesaro/Orton
Styles

That's fine. Good, even. With Sami in the mix too presumably.

He is a world-class wrestler and being a top face doesn't mean you have to carry the company. It can mean that you are a top guy for a little while and then go away and do some other poo poo.

I mean that won't happen because WWE, but your reasoning relies on what the definition of a WWE top face is which is not necessarily what a wrestling top face must be.
