Removing Rollins as the captain of Team Hogan has allowed WWE to bring Roman Reigns into the picture. The Big Dog is one of the biggest WWE Superstars who always attracts more viewers.

Unfortunately for Reigns, he was not involved in any storyline that could lead up to a match at Crown Jewel. Therefore, bringing him as a substitute for Rollins allowed WWE to include him in the match-card without scripting a new feud.

Reigns is not the only one who reaped the benefits of this decision. If Rollins was still the captain of his team, there would have been one less spot. But now, both Ali and Shorty G have been named in the team which allows them to bring their respective feuds and skills in the limelight at one of the most glorified WWE shows.

Currently, this is how both teams look on paper:

Team FlairRandy Orton (C), Drew McIntyre, ‘King’ Baron Corbin, Shinsuke Nakamura, Bobby Lashley.

Team Hogan – Roman Reigns (C), Ricochet, Rusev, Ali and Shorty G.
