Two weeks in and it's already back to normal for Roman Reigns. After a good start last week, WWE has returned to the formulaic underdog babyface booking that never suited him in the first place, and which was a major reason why so many fans disliked him.

Do we need another retread of the Authority? Why were we supposed to suddenly take the B Team seriously as opponents against someone of Reigns' caliber? Does that really count as "stacking the odds" against him? Did those odds need to be "stacked" in the first place?

Roman Reigns is still riding a wave of goodwill from his cancer scare and triumphant return, but if these booking tropes continue, fans are going to turn on him again. His support has already dwindled from the high it got in the winter.

Hopefully, the company realizes soon that he isn't an underdog. Last week's example was far better.
