Although the fans are still cheering Roman Reigns due to his triumph over leukemia, the luster will eventually wear off. It's easy to cheer him against the likes of Shane McMahon and his lackeys, but what happens when he starts a feud with someone new, and someone that the crowd actually likes?

Kingston and Reigns are both faces, so choosing Reigns for another title run with it also being at Kingston's expense would create a problem for the WWE. They want to put a major title around his waist again at some point, but how long can they wait?

It's good to give other Superstars a chance at a title run, especially if they've never had the chance like Kingston. Reigns ending his run would turn a large portion of the crowd against him and only cause the boos that have gone away from Reigns to return.

I know they would likely have Kingston lose to a heel first and then have 'the Big Dog' beat the heel, but they might panic or try to have the biggest match possible for SummerSlam. Reigns would be a big match, but it would undo a lot of the good will he has built up currently with the crowd.
