– A few weeks back, WWE’s golden boy Roman Reigns won the tournament to be the Number 1 Contender for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship which was held by Seth Rollins.
Last week during the tour of UK, Seth Rollins broke his knee ligaments in Dublin and is set to be out of action for at least 8-9 months. This put the WWE in a tight spot and a tournament to crown the new champion was decided.
On the last episode of RAW, Triple H presented a golden opportunity to Roman Reigns and was willing to give him the WWE WHC on one condition that he joins the Authority. Reigns declined which some of the fans saw as the WWE losing a big opportunity to progress Roman’s character.

Many fans believe that Roman should have made his heel turn which would cement his place with the fans of all age groups and genders. WWE conducted a poll where out of 11000 people, 53% voted that Roman should not have made his turn.
