Just seems too force-fed to me.
Like really, lets rehash a storyline from our recent past and feed the audience with that. They'll be okay with it. Come on. This is pathetic.
I kinda figured that Roman was going to end up with the belt anyway at the Rumble. I think Rollins going down with the injury is what made this happen faster, tbh. I'm still looking at Lesnar coming in and winning the Rumble setting up Reigns/Lesnar 2 at WM. If Rollins can recover by Mania, which I know is unlikely but could still be possible, I can definitely see a Reigns/Lesnar/Rollins legit Triple Threat match because both Lesnar & Rollins have axes to grind in regards to the way their championship runs ended.
The only way that Roman will be successful in any type of title run is he will need to pull off a damn good character turn. Not just the heel/face aspect, but his delivery, action & reactions all need to change. He can't be the Roman Reigns of The Shield....not the muscle guy, not the enforcer he's been this entire time. Nobody buys that.
