The 2016 stuff was just an issue with injuries and needing to move pieces around to get to new matches. If you look at his run with the title post Mania he was looking strong, then the wellness thing derailed things plus they needed to split the titles for the brand split. I think if he goes over Owens strong and gets a real run he'll be even more popular than he already is. There will still be boos, but those people will booo anything, you know you have their money no matter what is done.

The problem was Vince made a bad call and Reigns paid the price for it just as the talent usually does when the promoter makes a bad call. As for going over Owens strong what difference does that make? According to you Owens wasn't champiion material to begin with and therefore Reigns goingover strong over a "nobody" is irrelevant. Might as well put Ellsworth in Owens spot by your reckoning because they are of the same caliber.
