I'm to the point that given what I've watched and seen, Roman Reigns' run as US Champion has been anything but irrelevant to me. Most of his title run has been centered around chasing after the Universal Championship. If thats the focal point of how they are going to book him, then book that. Having him defend the title only to turn around later on the show to thrust his status towards the Universal Championship just makes the US title look less and less credible. Last night should have been the night they took the title off him and shifted the focus on him vs Owens.
It would have been a nice payoff and reward for Jericho who has spent the better part of the year putting talent over at this stage of his career and yet still having some great matches if not some of the best matches on the card. Would have been a nice cementing of legacy for the 1st undisputed champion to be the first guy in WWE to hold IC, Both brands of Tag Team, US, WHC, WWE Champion and 1st ever Undisputed Champion. That would have been paying it forward in my opnion and given Jericho the go ahead to defend the title and make it relevant with guys like Zayne, Rollins, Rusev, hell even you could have thrown it on Braun Stroman, but get if off Reins.
