WWE Clash of Champions 2016: Analysing and grading each match

Rusev (C) vs Roman Reigns (United States Championship)

Roman Reigns will be booed even more after his U.S. Title win

Grade: 5.5/10

Despite the anticipation for this bout, it never seemed to pick up the pace, but rather remained slow and disengaging until Lana was ejected from ringside. One of the weakest matches of the night, the crowd’s disinterest in the action led to a match that unfortunately plodded until the finish. WWE’s continued portrayal of Reigns as Super Cena 2.0 is only going to lead to more boos for him, as he made a Superman comeback in this match by breaking out of the Accolade and kicking out of about three of Rusev’s head kicks.

Although Reigns’ fans will argue it was a satisfying victory, it will unfortunately, lead to even more boos for the Roman Empire, as WWE continue to portray him as Cena 2.0. despite a large section of the fans rejecting the idea. One of the weakest matches of the night, as WWE continue to ignore the obvious disdain for Roman’s current character among many fans.
