#4 Roman Reigns becoming Universal Champion
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.
