#4 Named Roman Reigns the captain of Team Hogan

Team Hogan faced a huge set back when their captain Seth Rollins was forced to pull out of the team as he’s scheduled to defend his Universal Championship at Crown Jewel. Rollins is set to face “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt at Crown Jewel in a Falls Count Anywhere match which could drain the Champion of all the energy he has.

While there were many possible replacements available for Rollins in the loaded WWE roster, it made sense to pick someone who has a huge following but doesn’t have a title or a match at the moment for the big event.

Therefore, the company turned their eyes towards Roman Reigns, who was included in Team Hogan this week as the captain of the team.

Reigns has a huge international following and is one of the most famous Superstars. Since he isn’t involved in any major rivalry at the moment, it makes sense to give him a big position, given the magnitude of the match at Saudi Arabia.

Even though the company should have added Reigns as the captain of Team Hogan in the first place, it was good to watch them go back and do the right thing when handed the second opportunity.
