#5. Hope isn't true: WWE drops a major storyline for Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns as the Universal Champion has been some of the most exciting programming on WWE TV for a long time now. One could even argue that Roman Reigns is the best character that WWE has had in a long time.

There is just so much potential with him as a heel character, and it appears as though WWE is taking their first steps with that in his feud against Jey Uso.

It's no secret that Roman Reigns' original WrestleMania 36 opponent was going to be The Fiend Bray Wyatt. However, plans changed, and he was then scheduled to face Goldberg before he pulled out of WrestleMania due to personal reasons.

According to WrestleTalk, WWE has dropped the idea of doing the Roman Reigns-Fiend storyline. Sportskeeda's Lennard Surrao wrote:

"The long-term goal was always to have Roman Reigns engage in a feud with Bray Wyatt and his twisted alter ego. The company even dropped hints at transitioning to the angle with the introduction of the Paul Heyman-inspired 'Wobbly Walrus' puppet. Alexa Bliss' dead cold stare at Roman Reigns from a recent episode of SmackDown also hinted at WWE pulling the trigger on the storyline sooner rather than later. However, as noted earlier, the angle seems to have been dropped for now."

We hope this isn't true unless it's being postponed for a big stage like WrestleMania 37. It's a big money feud that needs to happen.
