#1 Roman Reigns retains the Universal Championship by forfeit at WWE Clash of Champions
It was certainly a surprise to know that The Usos had the ability to make Roman Reigns a Chief. He is going to be insufferable now after WWE Clash of Champions.
This entire excellent WWE Universal Championship storyline was set up perfectly to get Roman Reigns over as a heel. It was Roman Reigns versus his own cousin, Jey Uso. It was an opportunity to turn on one of Reigns’ closest family members and allies.
It seems like it would be a good match with Reigns finding a cheap way to pull off the win. What actually happened on Sunday night was far more shocking and simply great WWE storytelling.
The Big Dog controlled the early parts of the match and was bragging the entire time. His cockiness got the better of him and Jey Uso got some good offense in the title match. Uso even got a few believable near falls. But Roman Reigns regained control and begun a brutal assault on Jey Uso.
He wouldn't pin him until Jey called Roman Reigns the “Chief”. It wasn’t until Jimmy Uso returned to throw in the towel that the brutal attack finally ended. Roman Reigns had won by forfeit at WWE Clash of Champions.
Reigns has finally turned full-fledged heel. He has been so good at playing the arrogant bad guy that you wonder why they didn’t do it sooner. It will be good to see where bad guy Roman Reigns goes from here. It will certainly be a fun ride.
