WWE Survivor Series 2016: 5 things we learned

#4 Roman Reigns isn’t Superman anymore

The new Wyatts trumped the Roman Empire

After receiving an extremely negative reaction from the Toronto crowd, fans clearly didn’t want to see Reigns emerge victorious for Team Raw. However, once Reigns was left in a 2 on 1 situation against Randy Orton and Bray Wyatt, it felt like a disaster ready to happen.

At this time last year, Vince McMahon was fully invested in the Roman Empire, and at that time we would’ve most likely seen Reigns overcome the odds, defeating both men despite being outnumbered. However, it is the end of 2016, not 2015, and Reigns was caught by a Sister Abigail by Bray Wyatt, losing clean to the Eater of Worlds.

This is a much better use of Reigns, as his Superman booking would’ve driven fans into a riot had he won for Raw. Hopefully, WWE have learnt their lesson and can see that fans endear to Reigns when he isn’t booked like John Cena version two.

Currently serving as United States Champion rather than World champion, let’s see if the booking of Reigns slowly gets better in weeks to come. Maybe we will finally see the man cheered, which would be a miracle at this point.

For now, let’s just be happy that Bray Wyatt emerged victorious at Survivor Series, not a Superman-esque Reigns.
