So...why won't Vince just strip Reigns of the title THEN fire him?

Logica makes no sense in the wwe universe

 

[UberTag]

That would not be best for business.

 

[Sephzilla]

So...why won't Vince just strip Reigns of the title THEN fire him?

There is no reason.

The kayfabe reason McMahon couldn't fire Austin is because Vince couldn't risk Austin jumping to the competition. Now that WWE has no competition it kills a huge part of authority storylines because there's literally no reason for the authority to tolerate insubordination.

Didn't they punish Roman by giving him a titleshot?

 

[Bluekaveli]

Fuck Byron

What do you mean? You don't think they're worried about Italian Drizzles showing up on Pop TV next week?

You'd think they'd get rid of automatic rematch clauses as well for that reason.

Man, I despise the rematch clause

 

[Dark Ninja]

Wow guys i just straight up fell asleep after that opening segment and I feel great. Best rest ive gotten in a while.

He put him in a gauntlet match against the entire roster (of heels) last week, then when it looked like Reigns might win the first match (of a gauntlet of dozens), he had all the jobbers rush the ring and cause a DQ for....some reason.

Logical, plausible storytelling left the company some time ago.

 

[galvatron]

No, there was a REAL WORLD'S CHAMPION™ in that match.

Damn...I think that's the only time another fed's "champ" went over in a pseudo-unification in the WWE.

Taz jobbed to HHH after winning the ECW belt
Benoit jobbed to HHH first night on raw after leaving WCW as champ.
Sting can't win a WWE match

You'd think they'd get rid of automatic rematch clauses as well for that reason.

Yeah...seems like a missed heel building opportunity. Much like money in the bank going to a face.
Winning an automatic rematch by cheating to regain a belt *kisses fingers*

Theres a common factor in those three bullet points....

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Imagine how fucked they'd be if Roman got hurt before the Rumble

 

[BroBot]

So Sunny is being pretty racist on twitter...

Not cool.

Anyway, Brock will save Raw tonight! ... (I hope)

Is Benoit canon? I mean his existence, not the match in particular.

 

[KingBroly]

Vince to the injury: "Make Roman look STRONG...DAMMIT"

 

[bbd23]

USO CRAZY

 

[Professor Beef]

I don't think it's right that Daniel Bryan is so vindictive he would make his shaman use spells to injure 1/3 of the roster.

 

[Bluekaveli]

She's lost it. She needs to be taught a lesson.

 

[ChosenPredator]

man the whole dynamic of wrestlemania would be so different if roman got injured..but then i think about it and realize they'd just make jericho champion

 

[Dark Ninja]

I don't get why Big E kills himself in RAW and Smackdown spots save that shiet for PPVs. He's gonna get injured really bad one day

 

[Sephzilla]

I seriously don't want to wish harm on anyone, but I'd be a liar if I said there wasn't a part of me that kind of wants to see that happen just to watch the world burn a little.

 

[Xion385]

USO CRAZY

Are they having fun though?

Spoiler

I'm disappointed in myself.

 

[Bluekaveli]

All that booty meat helps him. He's also the best performer on the show.

 

[PROh1bited]

Oh gawd. Why. Why. Why. Why. Why. Why!!!!

 

[Officerrob]

This won't end well

 

[Bluekaveli]

MY BROTHERS BIG E HAS SAVED US. TWO YEARS AGO HE FAILED BUT NOW HE'S THE MAN.

NEW DAY ROCKS

 

[Heroman]

It is werid how every year they do a MLk thing but a black man has never held the wwe championship.

 

[spindashing]

.......................what

 

[shwimpy]

what happened to black cena?

 

[Dark Ninja]

Oh god Vince and Hayes have been salivating for this month

All that booty meat helps him. He's also the best performer on the show.

Big E is gonna feel that in a couple years

 

[Thorakai]

neville is a brother?

 

[Foffy]

what happened to black cena?

Apollo Crews is on NXT.

 

[PROh1bited]

It is werid how every year they do a MLk thing but a black had never held the wwe championship.

The Rock is the only one that comes to mind.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Oh gawd. Why. Why. Why. Why. Why. Why!!!!

This won't end well

I'm fucking dying!

I like how all of my brothers go on toward the end of the show. Also the lowest rated point of the show

 

[serenewarfare]

Does this mean that Neville is down with the swirl?

 

[Dunedain_Ranger]

It is werid how every year they do a MLk thing but a black had never held the wwe championship.

Vince won't allow his baby to be in their hands !!

 

[Sephzilla]

what happened to black cena?

Mr No Days Off is hurt (again)

 

[Rodeo Clown]

I can't believe this is a go home show. This is the show they want people to see to buy their pay per view Sunday.

New Day should shoot win the title

It makes me sad that even "the good WWE product" (aka NXT) still bothers with that antiquated horseshit.

Mr No Days on Raw

Just a Hall of Famer putting over another Hall of Famer

There is no racism in the WWE, no sir. Not since they kicked the one who should not be named.

 

[iMax]

It's free on the Network so they don't give a shit. Plus, it's the Rumble. Everyone watches that anyway.

Where's the water bottle?

 

[Officerrob]

Tyler Breeze probably wishing he was back in NXT

 

[Sephzilla]

I was just about to say the same thing when I noticed he was tagging with The fucking Ascension

 

[ChosenPredator]

the fuck is the reason for this match....there is zero reason for it...............Buhhhgawwedddfaffda
