That poo poo was rad and the perfect follow-up to last night. Vince was a prideful idiot who wanted to humiliate Reigns before firing him and it bit Vince in the rear end. Anyone who acts like they'd rather have Sheamus as champ is straight lying.

They just did everything I've seen people wish for and yet you still find something to complain about. There is no winning with some of you guys.

2Time TRP Sack Race Champion

that said, they did about the best they could to make that main event fun with the right amount of overbooking, and Vince coming in to 'fix the problem' and loving everything up is pretty funny cause heels eating poo poo is good. I guess we get a rematch at RR that roman wins, and maaaybe brock/Roman for mania because the fans can't derail The Plan, only delay it

Yeah someone said before WM31 that if they can't get Reigns over, they'll just make everyone else less over.

Worked pretty well I'd say.

Good Raw and they made that loving work in Philly. Tremendous job with Roman the last two nights.

Cosign. I supported Roman more than most people here but I also was wary, but he KILLED it the last two nights, and I'm gonna say it, props to the bookers and writers. Other than the prunes line Roman behaved EXACTLY as he should, as evidenced by a title win getting over in Philly of all places.

I am with 100% sincerity saying that I would prefer Sheamus as Champ. Roman Reigns is garbage and I will not be watching a Raw until Brock comes back so everyone please keep posting New Day segments on here so that I can still see the part of the product worth watching. Thanks. God bless.

Your Cena comparison is patently absurd dude. Cena was pushed down people's throats for a decade. Roman might not be fully ready but the crowd was behind him by the end of the night, a loving PHILLY crowd by the way. It's cool if you don't like him, but what does it matter how long it took if the smarkiest of smark crowds was fully behind him?

I've heard Roman get plenty of cheers. Since when does getting booed have anything to do with their ability to build him? They could take the Brooklyn Brawler and trick fans into liking him, it really doesn't loving matter what fans think of him. What matters is if they handled his build correctly, based off that reaction I'd say they did a pretty drat good job.

Cena was pushed down people's throats for a decade and that's why they STOPPED liking him, not why they started liking him
