5 things that should not happen at Roadblock: End of the Line

#4 Roman Reigns becoming Universal Champion

Putting the belt back on the Big Dog would be a terrible turn of events

Reports are claiming that this might actually be the plan, and if so, it’s a bad one. Reigns has been carrying the United States Championship like it is a meaningless piece of hardware ever since he defeated Rusev in October at Hell in a Cell.

If he wins, Roman will be a double champion and his reign as US Champ will mean even lesser than it does right now.

On top of Roman’s weak title reign, it means that WWE would be starting another “Road to WrestleMania” with Roman Reigns either holding the title or directly chasing the belt, for the third straight year. There’s no reason to do that.

WWE has to pull back and pump the breaks on giving Reigns another chance at the main event so soon. The match on Sunday is fine, so long as he doesn’t win the title.

The US Title should have been a great proving ground for Roman with some fresh and exciting challengers, but it’s been a waste. WWE has a chance to right that wrong by not giving him the Universal Title at Roadblock.

About the author

I got my first big break writing for 411Mania back in 2004. I did a small spot in a big weekly piece that was written by one of the site's top writers. I quickly added the duty of being the live recapper for episodes of SmackDown, and in 2005 was given my own weekly column, which I did for a few years. I gave up writing (mostly) to start a family but got back into it, still at 411, a little over 3 years later. For another couple of years, I wrote 2-3 columns per week for the website before finding paid work elsewhere, and eventually wound up at SportsKeeda.

I am also the co-founder of the RBR: Weekly Wrestling Talk podcast, which started in the summer of 2005 and is still going strong today, almost 15 years later. Due to school, work, and family commitments, I left the team in 2011 but still remain a part of the family.
