5 reasons why Roman Reigns lost the US Championship

#3 Extending a stale feud

This was a great way to have the same match on Raw, every week

Let’s face it. We have been seeing the same group of wrestlers in the main event of Raw every week, be it Reigns, Owens, Jericho or even Seth Rollins. In recent times, the addition of Braun Strowman to the mix has freshened things up, but only to a small extent.

How many times can the un-creative Raw booking team book the same match? ‘Here's an idea. How about having Roman drop the US Championship so that we can extend the feud endlessly till the Royal Rumble. This gives us two extra weeks of content! Yaaay!’

Sarcasm aside, there's a lot of truth to the plot we just surmised. We’re certain Reigns dropped the title just to extend the feud for all eternity.
