5 biggest questions after Roman Reigns squashed Elias in 10 seconds at WWE MITB 2019

Elias gained the upper hand but Roman Reigns fought back

#2 How long until Roman Reigns is in the title picture?

Remember when Daniel Bryan returned at WrestleMania 34 and went on to feud with Big Cass in non-title matches for the next two months? Well, the current situation with Roman Reigns feels similar.

“The Big Dog” initially made a big impression upon his return, teaming with The Shield in the Fastlane main event before defeating Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 35, but this largely meaningless rivalry with Elias feels like a significant step down from where he used to be.

Just like Bryan in 2018, Reigns is destined to move on from this feud with Elias and Shane McMahon to bigger and better things (i.e the WWE Championship). It is just a matter of when, not if, WWE decides to put him back in that position.

Right now, Kofi Kingston is trying to establish himself as one of the top guys on SmackDown Live as WWE Champion, but do not be surprised if Reigns steps up and challenges for the title as soon as he has finished with Elias and the McMahons.
