Well, good point, you can't really ask Roman about Velveteen Dream since they never shared a locker room, good thing no other controversial things have happened within WWE that you might want to ask the most pushed, most featured guy on the television for the last decade straight about.



Nothin' at all.

Let’s not go down a weird rabbit hole. Dream is a loving creep and nobody expects real questions of Roman Reigns of all people at a silly press conference thing after a show.

The way NXT is shot (or something) is making this ring look weirdly small.

Yeah although tonight they might have turned the audiences against him, because woo boy he was public enemy #1 in his match against Tyler Bate.

Also, this begs the question of who actually beats Mandy, because the only woman she hasn't beaten yet is Nikkita Lyons and that would be an absolutely massive shitshow. She's cleaned out the entire division of credible threats to her.

Yup. Twice.

The list of women she's beaten in NXT who are or were employed by WWE:

- Raquel Gonzalez/Rodriguez (x2)

- Cora Jade (x2)

- Athena/Ember Moon

- Io Shirai

- Kay Lee Ray/Alba Fyre (x2)

- Roxanne Perez

- Sarray

- Zoey Stark

- Blair Davenport

- Meiko Satomura

Oh yeah, let's not forget that Toxic Attraction is coming for the NXT Women's Tag titles again, and vow to unify them with the main roster ones. Nevermind the fact that their one main roster match was a complete and utter shitshow to the point of where even Natalya couldn't get anything good out of Jacy and Gigi, and she's the definition of "being able to get at least a passable match out of everyone".

Pretty Deadly won the NXT tag titles tonight, and they were originally NXT UK talents, but have been NXT NA talents for awhile. They won them after Damon Kemp (the actual brother of Gable Steveson) turned on Julius and Brutus and cost them the titles. So don't be shocked if we see Gable show up soon on NXT to tag with his brother, so they can both be black holes of charisma.

Which will be baffling if they win, since Julius and Brutus are both way better than the Steveson brothers are at professional wrestling (maybe not olympic wrestling).

the way roman talks on twitter makes him sound like he's really up his own rear end about this needle mover head of the table thing and that's hilarious because he's the only guy wwe has pushed since cena so of course he's got a record breaking championship reign

acknowledge me as the scripted champion for a fake sport for too long because the company has nobody else to take my place

My problem with Roman is that he doesnt have a gimmick to make him an interesting gimmick character and he doesn't have the personality/showmanship to make himself interesting as a character.

I think he's a great wrestler and technically impressive and I think he deserves credit for getting where he is today. But he is just committing the biggest sin a wrestler, especially a hell, can commit which is being BORING

I agree with everything you say, but would make a small nit-picky change.

I would change "boring" to "joyless"

Roman is no fun. I know that's his character, but there is a way to play the "Grr, Arrgh, I am a serious angry boi" that is entertaining and fun. Roman Reigns does not have the charisma to do that.
