A different Roman Reigns

When Roman Reigns was suspended by Vince McMahon a majority of the WWE Universe weren't buying into that angle. Therefore, WWE chose to ignore that 'suspension' by booking 'The Big Dog' on Raw this week anyway.

Reigns came to the ring and demanded to face Brock Lesnar, instead Kurt Angle sent for US court marshalls to arrest Reigns and escort him out of the building. However, in true WWE fashion that didn't happen, as Reigns attacked them in a Stone Cold Steve Austin rage. This then prompted Brock Lesnar to show up and destroy a defenseless Reigns.

While that move presented Reigns as a sympathetic babyface getting destroyed by a raging beast, the time is up to present Reigns in that light. This feud doesn’t need the sympathetic babyface Reigns, this feud requires Reigns to show that intensity, that anger, that frustration that has probably been brewing inside him for the last 4 years ever since he got humbled by Lesnar at WrestleMania 31.

Reigns needed to stand toe to toe with Lesnar this week on Raw, and he needed to send a message loud and clear that he is not the same man Brock Lesnar has faced before. It would've been more beneficial to Reigns if WWE had this fight take place out of the arena, as it would've presented Roman as a predator waiting to strike.

This would’ve been a sight to behold and it would ve shown Reigns as a man that is no more sitting down taking a beating wanting sympathy from fans but a man that has one goal and that is to beat Brock Lesnar.
