WWE bet big on Roman Reigns when Seth Rollins went down with an injury last November. In a way, WWE had to do it, but it was ultimately what they wanted to do, so it all worked out for them.
That was until a few weeks ago when Reigns violated the WWE Wellness Policy and was essentially forced to drop the WWE title to Seth Rollins at “Money in the Bank.” Apparently, the punishment won’t stop there.
Sure, WWE is done “punishing” him for his mistake, but Vince McMahon losing faith in his top star is going to be the long-lasting punishment because Vince is said to be lower on Reigns than he ever has been before.
According to a report from DailyWrestlingNews.com, Roman Reigns failing the Wellness Policy right before the WWE Draft and brand extension has put him under fire with Vince McMahon.
The word is that Vince was already souring towards him as the top star before the Wellness violation, so it was much easier for him after he had a legitimate reason to knock him off the pedestal.
Apparently, both AJ Styles and Seth Rollins are very high on Vince McMahon’s list to be his top superstars for Raw and SmackDown.
He’s always been high on Seth, but he was claiming that he should have signed AJ ten years ago. Especially with top NXT stars coming to the main roster, Reigns is going to have a tough climb back to the top of WWE’s ladder.
Do you think Roman Reigns will be able to reclaim the top spot as “The Gyu” in WWE?
