I know that this would be a very rare possibility under most circumstances but if you consider all the facts, you'll see that it's not so at all. The fact that Rowan said that he was not under anyone's control, that he was not anyone's puppet at all, pretty much points to the fact that he will be given a monster push going forward. One wonders if this is the push that was meant for Lars Sullivan until his injury, as the monster of the blue brand.

We know that Roman Reigns is used as an instrument to create new stars. I mean the performance with Buddy Murphy where Reigns and 'The Best Kept Secret' put on a show for the ages pretty much introduced Murphy to the main roster as a force to be reckoned with. Anyone that Roman Reigns works with gets a lot more eyeballs and attention, because like it or not, Reigns is the biggest star in the company.
Would Rowan become, in a sense, the Braun Strowman of SmackDown Live, going forward? In doing so, he could become a huge part of SmackDown on FOX, as a bully, as a psychopath and a top heel.
