I believe the WWE has figured out that they blew it with Roman Reigns. It isn’t Reigns’ fault, they just did it all wrong and now everyone is sort of blah about Wrestlemania (myself included). Nothing they can do about it in the present, but they can fix things post Wrestlemania.
Triple H has a plan, it is a good plan, that I hope is executed at Wrestlemania and the months that follow. Vince has final say, but I hope he sees the light.
Here are the details of the plan via UPROXX.
After talking to a few people today at the SmackDown tapings word going around is that Brock Lesnar is very close to agreeing on a new contract with the WWE. With the lack of popularity that Roman Reigns has received as of late, Triple H is pushing Vince on the idea of keeping the WWE Championship on Brock.
This would also have huge ramifications with two of the undercard matches on the show.
If Brock retains the title it would in all likelihood mean a continued “special attraction schedule” for him. Triple H as of late has been big on the idea that the I.C. Title and the U.S. Title should mean something again. The plan, if Brock retains is to put the U.S. Title on John Cena and the I.C. Title on Daniel Bryan. The theory would be that two legit Superstars would bring legitimacy to both titles. Also, while Brock is gone both men can main event Raw, Smackdown, PPVs and house shows with those titles on top of the card. Which again, would bring back the legitimacy of both belts.
Reigns winning won’t help anyone. Brock has been built up as a beast and if Reigns starts no-selling, it just won’t stick. Reigns time will come, but this is a smart move that Triple H is suggesting at least until Reigns or someone else is truly ready to take the belt off Brock.
