I feel like they're not gonna take it off him until they can get the Rock or Rikishi or somebody to come back and make it seem that Roman's lost the Divine Right (or equivalent).

I guess the story is that if you get beaten up so bad you're out months you will come back and side with the guy who did it? Shame a cool storyline is going WCW

roman, the dominant champ, couldn't win 2 on 1 so he won 3 on 1 instead

yeah the whole thing is so weird even using wrestling logic

like ok lets say they were building this up to where the entire locker room hated roman except solo sikoa and then they turned him too and the title swapped with 50 guys running in and beating the dogshit out of roman and letting someone pin him because roman was so dominant there was no other way to get anyone else in the belt

that would be a sensible wrestling story

but theyre not really doing that either

genuinely i would like to see inside WWEs heads and when they plan to take the title off Roman because its getting fairly silly

I knew obviously that it wouldnt be "an Uso at summerslam" but like do they even understand he cant hold it until 2035

also your swerves just come off as stupid except to like 9 year olds and i bet a few of them are getting jaded

It's never coming off Roman, as long as no one can get their hands on Vince's phylactery.

that dude.

I love that my wife is new to wrassling as of this year, and when Romans intro started she got up to go to bed because "I know how this match is going to end" and lol she was right.

Kinda fun PPV besides that and Ronda though? Idk I'm very easy to please. I've no idea who wants more roman headliners tho.

Maybe that's what Payback is about, everyone who's been hosed over in Roman's dubious reign
(Payback is definitely not about that and is almost certainly at best another alleged 'singles' "Roman wins lol")

It's how her species communicates

It took 3 people for Roman to beat the guy that's been his lackey for years? Lol

That assumes that they don't have these stories operating entirely in vacuum. If you're not part of the story, you just don't exist. You're not gonna have Gunther run in and beat the crap out of Solo to reinforce imperialism in the WWE.

Love to throw away months of storyline character progression between Sami, Jay, Jimmy, Roman and Solo becuase we can't think of anything new to do but have them keep turning on each other and Dwayne won't return our calls.

If only there was another superstar who was deeply involved in the story of the Bloodline and due to, let's hypothetically say, a tag team partner not being medically cleared, was entirely free for the show.

Well, I think we can safely say that the only saving grace of that show is that they didn't go through with the threatened Kid Rock live performance

Who, again hypothetically, had been pushing the contender to break away from Roman for months.

Sami's reward for getting Roman over is to never be pushed again and probably written out of the history of the storyline

Going from Collision to that was some real crazy whiplash. I just cannot stand Roman’s style of match, it’s so loving slow and plodding

It's like watching raw footage from a cinematic match they haven't edited yet. Audience silent, commentary silent, 2 men standing/laying in the ring in silence.
