#1. Hope is true: Roman Reigns' "shoot" demand to WWE

In WWE, there seems to be a mentality that the two most important matches on a show are the first and last match. It's a sentiment that's easy to understand, especially since the first match sets the tone of the show, and the final match defines it.

For Roman Reigns, there is a demand that he has made to WWE and it seems to be set in stone. According to Dave Meltzer of WON, Reigns reportedly demanded that he either goes on first or last and nothing in between. It makes sense since every pay-per-view that he has been a part of since returning to WWE in 2020 (minus Royal Rumble) has seen him come on first, and mostly last.

“You put the most important first or last. That’s the big argument right now with Roman Reigns. Roman Reigns will either go first or last. He won’t go anywhere else, that’s a shoot. He doesn’t want to go (anywhere) but first, because that’s okay, or last, which is preferable because he’s the main event and he doesn’t want to go second or fourth or second from the top,” said Dave Meltzer.

We hope this is true because it's the best way to utilize Roman Reigns. In his current run, he is undoubtedly the best star to headline every pay-per-view, but that isn't always going to happen. In such cases, going on first is a good idea.
