#5 Roman Reigns (c) vs Rusev - United States Championship (Cell)
Well, all my dreams of a 7-year reign for Rusev were destroyed by the whiney, demanding, cocky, soaking wet good guy Roman Reigns.
You see, Roman is of Samoan descent so he can have a shot at any championship he wants at any time just by showing up. Rusev loves his wife and country, which are the two worst things you can do in the WWE Universe.
A top AEW star just called one of his colleagues 'spoiled' and 'narcissistic' HERE.
This whole feud is a black hole of common sense and an exercise in marathon banality. The only way to save this is a double turn. All they would have to do is have the announcers switch who they’re rooting for, the wrestlers have already done all the work.
I honestly think there was a classic 80s movie mix up and they were given each other’s scripts.
Roman and Rusev on paper should be so good. They have a great clash of styles and both are terribly underrated in the ring. And now it’s in a cell, which in WWEspeak means “very serious, probably last match ever.” As it goes, I’m just annoyed by the whole thing at this point and I just want to see blood. For blood’s sake.
