#4 Roman Reigns MUST win the Universal Championship
No more false starts. No more beating around the bush. It's time for Vince McMahon to either go all in on Roman Reigns or fold the hand.
Brock Lesnar's shock win at WrestleMania created more problems than it solved. For the past year, fans were expecting to see Lesnar carry the Universal Championship and drop the title to Reigns.

It was an unwelcome development, as the title was held hostage for an entire year, denying everyone else an opportunity to reach the top of the business, but at least there was an end in sight. After WrestleMania, that end became doubtful.
If Reigns fails to capture the championship tomorrow, the endless loop repeats itself. The title remains in limbo, directionless.
Other popular superstars on Raw that deserve a chance, like Strowman, Balor and Rollins, are denied. Hot new acts trying to make an impact, like the returning Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre, are denied.
Even people who the company would like to push, like Baron Corbin, are also denied a spotlight.
Storyline meets reality in more ways than one here. For the sake of the Raw roster, Reigns must win the championship, bring it back on television, and, while he'll inevitably have a substantive title reign, give more people a chance at the spotlight so that when he eventually drops it, it will be an object of competition again.
If Brock Lesnar retains, the hostage situation continues with no end in sight.
It's time for this nonsense, which has lasted on and off for four years, to finally end once and for all. If Reigns doesn't win tomorrow, it's time to drop the project entirely and let someone like Strowman win the strap off Lesnar.
