Roman Reigns' . . . reign, How Will It End?

[RKO-Cutter]

For well over a year I was heavily pushing the idea of Big E taking the title off Roman (then he failed to win the Rumble so it became pushing for Bryan). But that doesn't really seem to be happening (maybe).

So how does this reign end?

Does the Demon get it done?

Does Lesnar conquer him in Saudi?

Does the Rock beat him at WrestleMania?

Does Drew jump to Smackdown in the draft and win?

Does Big E lose the WWE title, turn around, and win the Universal?


None of these feel probable, let alone likely, but at this point WWE has failed to make anyone else feel like they're even remotely close to the level to do it. I know not ever title win has to be momentous, but this reign has basically set Reigns up as needing a god to dethrone him. What say you guys

WWE would win my viewership back for at least a short while if either:
A.) WALTER showed up and just smited him
2.) Ciampa decided to leave NXT, came in and totally dominated him but from an intellectual standpoint. Similar to outwrestling him but not just on the map. Anything Reigns has in his playbook, Ciampa already has a plan for.

To a rehired Kona Reeves.

 

[That90sguy]

Rex, er, Bron Breakker will get it done. By 2025 at the latest.

 

[TrailBlazerDude]

The same guy that took down Adam Cole.

Well after tonight's match it's clear there is one man who can stop Roman Reigns.

Spoiler

God turning heel on him

Yeah, but his favorite champion is doing other work so there's not much he can do.

 

[RKO-Cutter]

So....

 

[makoncrayley]

Probably should still be Kona Reeves

Really goes to show how insane Cody going to WWE was that the most likely answer wasn't even a thought back in September of 2021

Also kind of insane that Cody winning this time last year seemed like a safe bet and yet here we are again.

 

[AWSMan]

It’ll be the biggest troll booking of all time if Cody fails again.

It’ll be the biggest troll booking of all time if Cody fails again.

The amount of people saying Roman should win to a) keep the reign longer than Hogan's longest (which....isn't a record), and b) because the fans 'ruined' it so now he has to hold it until next year to defend the title vs Rock

I'm nervous

 

[lildeew]

This thread being made in 2021 is insane lol

 

[RKO-Cutter]

This thread being made in 2021 is insane lol

Add to that it's also a year after the reign began

 

[bpapa2016]

Last year Cody shouldn’t have won. “The story” was too short and derailed by his injury. Now we’ve got another year spent building his legacy. He conquered the Beast, led the Avengers into battle with Judgement Day, saved Jey Uso, came to terms with Rollins, won another Rumble, and went toe-to-toe with the Rock. If Mania doesn’t end with a bloody Cody hoisting up the title, celebrating with a crew of babyfaces behind him, something is very wrong.

 

[RKO-Cutter]

Said before, I'll say it again: It was never a question if Cody's story was too short, it was always that Roman's was too fucking long

Here's to another year for the Tribal Chief

Time and biz proved out that nothing about what happened was the wrong move.

 

[RKO-Cutter]

Literally nothing about the past year wouldn't have been better if Cody won

Nor would any of Roman's stuff had mattered less if he didn't have the titles. In fact, multiple parts of both mens stories would've ended up better had Cody won

 

[bpapa2016]

It’s OK to admit when wrong.

 

[wweboo]

It’s OK to admit when wrong.

Advice you really need to take to heart.

 

[RKO-Cutter]

It’s OK to admit when wrong.

And I've been wrong about multiple things

I thought Cody would've lost all his heat by now if he lost last year, he hasn't (though he's definitely got less fans behind him now)

I thought Jey would've flopped as a singles wrestler, and he hasn't at all

But I don't believe I'm wrong about this

 

[bpapa2016]

(though he's definitely got less fans behind him now)

They literally rewrote the top of Mania because they underestimated how popular he would be compared to Rock. Is there some other metric here your referring to?

 

[TrailBlazerDude]

Yeah, I’d say Cody is as hot now as he’s ever been.

 

[sH0Tz]

Cody losing last year was 100% the right call.

 

[bpapa2016]

But I don't believe I'm wrong about this

And now?

 

[RKO-Cutter]

And now?

Same answer

That was a fun main event, did not justify adding an entire year to that title reign

After 'Mania though I MAY be wrong about being wrong about Jey as a singles wrestler
