Roman Reigns walks out WWE World Heavyweight Champion
A bold booking decision considering how much Roman was booed by the crowd. But, when I take a step back and look at it, it makes sense.
WWE has been building Roman to be the face of WWE for nearly two years. The prematurely showed their hand when they pushed Roman at last WrestleMania, but Seth was there to bail them out with a Money in the Bank briefcase.

This year they had to put Roman over and they did it. But asides from the obvious dislike by most of the WWE Universe, this decision is a great one. By putting Roman on top of the pile at last, WWE has essentially freed their hands of Roman.
Oh, they can still build Roman’s character all right, but now they could concentrate to push other superstars too. Guys like Dean Ambrose, Kevin Owens, AJ Styles, Cesaro, Dolph Ziggler and Sami Zayn can now be pushed to the top to contend with Roman.
On the other hand, the veterans like John Cena, Randy Orton, Chris Jericho, Kane and The Miz can be used to push them to the top. Now the blockade has been cleared and WWE can play around with a lot of options.
From a booking standpoint, this decision was like the one you were gonna take before jumping into a river. You know the water will be cold, but unless you jump in you can’t swim.
Verdict: 3.5/5
