5 reasons why No Mercy may be the turning point in Roman Reigns' career

#2 Feels like a WrestleMania moment

Roman Reigns has been hand-fed historic opportunities...but none more so than this

The bigger the star you are, the bigger the moments you get to make.

There is no innocent concept of fairness or justice at play here. The ones in the WWE that get to make timeless moments are the ones that actually matter.

For instance, how many times have you been reminded of Mojo Rawley's WrestleMania moment since he won the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal?

Case in point.

It's the big moments with the big stars that get reinforced into our psyche. That's just the way the WWE operates.

We still remember Shawn Michaels' matches against The Undertaker at WrestleMania, the roof-raising staredown between Hulk Hogan and the Rock, Brock Lesnar's shocking defeat of the Deadman's undefeated streak... I could go on.

Roman Reigns vs John Cena promises to deliver one such moment. Only, it's happening at No Mercy.

While that doesn't make for exalted reading on paper, it is a detail that could be looked back upon as a seminal moment in Reigns' career trajectory, especially if he goes on to defeat Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 34 from there.
