I am not mad at Roman retaining but damn, I didn’t see it coming! Ha!

Guess the real loser tonight was Shane’s ACL.

I mean, I sort of am. I think we're at a point now where Roman matches all feel the same to me. Goes 30 mins, they fake you into him being about to lose, then one of his 100 minions saves him. Rinse, repeat. It's kind of stale now

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Great match but a terrible ending to it. I was fine with Cody winning or not winning honestly tonight. But it’s the way it ended that bothered me, IMO. Night 1 was miles better to me.

My issue is that we need two belts, and this was the perfect way to split them.

This. This is definitely what bothers me. It’s been a great title reign and story overall. But the matches are the same old same old now. Rinse and repeat like you said.

Roman really should have lost tonight. I think they just want him to pass 1,000 days as champ and print some new shirts. That's what they care most about right now. They just Lugered Cody imo.

Don't expect Roman to lose for at least another 55 days since he's at 945.

Outside of Cody, Roman has no credible challengers left on the main roster.

 

[Herolee10]

I can't believe that we're going into year three of Roman Reigns as the WWE/Universal Champion. Not only has he overstayed his welcome as champion, but the company has pretty much buried ALL of their top stars (past, present, and future) to keep him on the top.

 

[Broseph44]

Man night 1 was so ****ing good. Tonight it felt like Vince had a gun to HHH’s head. “How dare you show me up with an amazing first night! I’ll fix that!!”

Feels to me like it's gonna be another year of Roman wins LOLZ. Which I am sure someone out there will find interesting. I am probably tuning out until he actually loses the belts at this point.

Wake me up when we can actually have originality in title matches again

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

Maybe it's Seth? Roman's never beat him.

Now that with a build up to Summer Slam I can see. Seth is OVER.

If Roman wins against Seth, then I'll agree, his run has gone too far.

Yeah I’m sick of the excuses sometimes. Well it’s what heels do!! I don’t need interference all the time. It’s becoming too much. I’d rather Roman win clean than like this especially in such a huge match.

 

[Spider-Fan]

IS that really a rewarding ending though? Seth's been around the title picture like...his whole career and been a multiple time champion. What are we getting there if he beats Roman we haven't seen before? May as well just troll people and let Brock do it at that point and really set people on fire

 

[Lobo]

I guess Bron Breakker could be the guy, but if he wins where Cody couldn't, Cody looks even worse.

I like Roman, but the time for him to lose now, we had the right guy at the right time. But they screwed the pooch on this one.

I guess backlash we get Cody vs Solo meh.

Roman has had interference in 95% of his matches as champ. You'd think Adam Pearce as the GM would say something by now but yeah this was Vince's Mania and night one was Papa H

I feel you, but you gotta listen to your audience sometimes man. Seth has whole arenas singing his theme throughout his matches, has the people eating out the palm of his hand, he's over BIG TIME. You couple that against this Bloodline juggernaut with Roman and that's money to be made.

 

[Spider-Fan]

I hate to be that guy, but....at least Triple H actually lost the belt during the Reign of Terror. Just saying

 

[Broseph44]

Basically had Roman win to pad his stats with the 1,000 days as champion upcoming. That’s really what it comes down to as well.

 

[Herolee10]

 

[Nardz937]

Roman isn't going to lose before The Rock match happens. He's going to look as strong as possible with as much momentum going into that.

Meh. Feels just like same old same old to me.

Yep, because it is haha. To me as well anyway.

What I don't like about the Roman cheating stuff, is they act like he doesn't do it. They praise him like he's all conquering, when he's the flippin' Honkey Tonk Man.

It's just mind boggling that this is how the match turned out. All of us were so confident that Cody was being tailored as the guy that would finally defeat Roman Reigns.

Overall, WWE screwed over the likes of Sami Zayn and Cody Rhodes from having their moments for no logical reason.

The Rock match isn't happening. The Rock is too busy to do a proper match, and he's not going to do it unless he can have a proper match. It would take him over 6 months to get ready for it at his age, and even then, it would be touch and go.

At this point, the only way Roman Reigns will lose the titles is if he gets injured that puts him on the shelf for several months.

They did not screw Sami. They clearly kept him out of this match, to avoid LA being on fire, for a non-Lakers won the title, reason.

No. He will lose the belts. The question is simply who. Bron's coming up. Could it be him? Who knows. But he's going to lose. Face Gunther is also a possibility.

 

[Heretic]

This was THE moment for Cody to win and get over. Remember, he has really only been over because the fans saw him as the guy who would beat Roman. He wasnt even on tv to build up fan love. No stage will ever be as big as this one. If Cody wins the title anywhere else, it wont be as big of a deal for him and will start his reign off on a weaker foot. And Cody NEEDED to start on the strongest foot possible. Cody might as well fight Elias at SummerSlam.
