Why not just have reigns watching on a live feed and then have him send out an underling to whip rear end, if he's supposed to be like a crime family boss now. Then also sending a goon communicates his lack of respect for opponent. Jesus Christ that takes 30 seconds to think up, how do the writers not realize how stupid that image of him sitting in a poo poo chair on the ramp is.

His underling was out there already.

I liked Reigns being out there because at the end, Bryan looked at him like he was gonna murder him and Roman poo poo his pants, threw the chair at Bryan, and tried to get away before Bryan whipped his rear end. It played up Reigns as just playing the image of a cool crime boss when he's actually scared of Bryan, because Bryan made him tap out.

BEcause the show was supposed to go off the air with Bryan murdering Roman with the Yes Lock.

If Bryan wins the belt at Mania, doesn't that technically null out the reason J-Ru stopped watching?

I'm sure the infinite amount of WWE around that match will undo whatever good will Babyface Champ Daniel Bryan would bring

If Daniel is champ I will watch every show he's on until he's not. There's nothing the man can do that will make me not stan for him. I am only here because of him, I would forfeit my own life for his or anyone in his family without a second thought if he or his needed an organ transplant or were in the path of a wayward bus.

debut of the fight forever chant and well deserved. I may be wrong about that but I never heard it anywhere else before this match. a top five WWE match absolutely.

there's still a fair few cuts in that match, but NONE of the lovely action zoom, and god it's so much of a nicer watch because of that

I get that logic, but lets put it on perspective of wrestlemania week. Rough math in my head says 22 hours of content. Daniel will maybe be 35 minutes of that. Afterwards he'll be like 15-25 minutes every week, often sprinkled throughout the hours. It's just an impossible miasma of WWE.
