WWE coronating their guy at an oil rumble that will air on the network at Noon Eastern, 9 AM Pacific on a friday is the most WWE thing ever and makes me briefly think they wouldn't just shift championships without anyone watching but then again some prince probably paid to see a title change and also it is such a WWE thing to do.

Pay Brock a lot of money so he can eventually give Roman the rub and also hide Roman actually getting the rub.

Seems like Roman is just going to get even louder boos when he shows up on RAW with the title that no one got to watch him win anyways.

That was super distracting the entire segment.Xenoletum posted:to be fair they need to give something to the UK crowds considering they always got shat on. Very true but it was basically just luck that the UK crowd got it because WWE bailed out on Jinder vs. Brock and that was the last chance to do so.

I swear, this company. Instead of having AoP tell Ellering they don't need him anymore, they should've had Ellering tell them that he's taught them everything that he could, that now they're ready, and to spend the rest of their days destroying everyone and everything that gets in their way, and to never ever stop. Then have Ellering tell the audience that they are in not prepared for the hell that he's unleashed AoP comes up looking like monsters, Ellering doesn't look like a fool, everyone looks strong.

Legit thought we were gonna get a heel turn using his old NXT gimmick for a second. Honestly the best thing they can do. Really have Roman be not just a heel, but a loving hatable despicable heel. He needs Ciampa levels of heat.

Ragnarok the Red posted:Good grief, what was the point of not just putting Roman over him at Mania then? Easy. The crowd was going to poo poo on that match at Wrestlemania and not give Vince the cheers he wants. At the Oil Rumble, that crowd is going to be so happy just to be there that they'll surely give Roman the applause that Vince desires.

Nobody cares about pacific time... there are like 7 championships and a 50 man rumble. If Brock/Reigns goes on last, they'll probably be wrapping up the show by 5pm EST for people to see him win while eating dinner.

Honestly the best thing they can do. So it's not just me! I wonder if it's either because he's about to turn heel or if it's that after getting dumped on his head, smacked into a table head-first, busted open hardway, jobbed out, given a WCW-level promo only for the crowd to still not give a poo poo about any of it, the dude has finally just stopped caring and is like gently caress it, I'll just go out in sneakers, with my hair in a bun, who gives a gently caress. Getting suit and rolex The Merchandise Roman or getting super apathetic Roman both sound extremely entertaining to me, so.

Short term you turn him mega heel to build off the existing heat, have him be a monster who beats faces and then at a climatic moment have him turn face to a mega pop.

Hmmm the reddit SquaredCircle folks seem real convinced Roman is going over in Saudi Arabia. I didn't think that would be the prevailing attitude, just doesn't make sense to crown your "guy" when no one is home to watch it live I don't know.

Saudis paid for a title change, and Vince gets his Roman victory with a crowd that's forced to cheer for him or face prison time.

Rocky Miavia never moved shirts like Roman Reigns does. No one liked Rocky, which is why he flipped heel. Only bitter smarks, the minority of WWE's audience, hate Reigns.
