#2 It's the only way Roman Reigns can win the title by Survivor Series
With SmackDown Live moving to FOX this October, the blue brand needed more star power to do justice to the big money deal. WWE could find no better choice but their resident "Big Dog" Roman Reigns.
They have also introduced the Wild Card rule to allow four superstars from each brand to appear on both shows. Vince McMahon is doing all he can put more emphasis on SmackDown Live before the show transitions to FOX.
If Shane becomes the champion, it’s sure Roman Reigns will pick a fight with him to set up a match between the two for the title down the line.
Shane just got one over Roman Reigns at Super ShowDown, and this feud is far from over. Reigns' upcoming match with Drew McIntyre at Stomping Grounds will play a significant role in this feud.
Its possible Reigns could win the WWE title before this year's Survivor Series. So Shane will be the right choice to be Champion when the "Big Dog" reclaims his yard.
But what could WWE be planning for Survivor Series? The answer is on the next page.
