y’all not sick of Roman having the title? Cause I sure as **** am
I’m not, because he’s finally found his footing as a legit Heel & it makes for great story telling to have him continue to have the top 2 straps until someone else is built up enough to beat him.
Right now, aside from Lashley (IMO) I don’t think the WWE has anybody who can carry the company on their back as a top tier Superstar in the same way that Reigns can. A lot of that is WWE’s fault for not successfully building Stars & creating good enough gimmicks to where they can have multiple A-side Superstars that can carry the brunt of the company for TV & PPV streaming.
Back during the 2000’s they did a great job building The Rock, Stone Cold, Triple H, Kane, Mick Foley, Chris Jericho & others up enough to where they could give any one of them the strap at any time & there wouldn’t be drop off in viewership or PPV sales, they were all great characters that could be the lead for company on their own.
In today’s WWE, we have guys like Austin Theory, Finn Balor, Kevin Owens, The Miz, Braun Strowman etc all who are good workers & performers but are pretty much B-side characters that have no lasting power because the writers haven’t figured out how to get them over on the same level as a top Superstar.
With AJ Styles & Randy Orton out with injury, all they have left is Seth Rollins & Lashley who can be legitimate challenges from a story plot perspective that could work a good program with Reigns. Drew McIntyre & Reigns is a complete dud & doesn’t move the needle, because McIntyre’s gimmick has no real character depth to build on.
I would like to see somebody else at least get one of the belts, however, nobody has really stepped up to prove they’re worthy of getting it IMHO, except for maybe Lashley or Rollins, but everyone else doesn’t appear to have the “IT” factor as of now to get a real title run.
