”Roman Reigns is not on the Australia show. He’s not on the Backlash show in France either by the way, for fans over there… Roman is gonna be wrestling at the Royal Rumble and then his next big match - he could do a TV match - but he’s gonna wrestle at the Royal Rumble and then his next match is gonna be his WrestleMania match. After that, I would presume it’s gonna be Saudi and SummerSlam.”

    I really enjoy longer title runs, but yea it just feels like it’s time for it to go to someone else. Who should get it is debatable of course but I really feel like if they don’t do it at Mania this year, things will really start to sour.

      I like long title runs, as long as they also throw in some shorter ones to break it up now and then. That being said once they have it this long its just ridiculous. Becomes a mix of ‘guys a cheating cunt, maybe the company should stop him from cheating??’ and 'well if he’s so damn good then why does the company spend money on all this other talent who can’t even come close? fire em all and bring in better talent! /kayfabe".

      Main damn reason I started paying less attention to WWE lol.

        i think long title reins are only good when they’re meaningful. a ric flair rein in the 80s was monumental because he carried it from territory to territory defending it and seeing him was a pretty big event. the current trend of padding out reins just to break the last record so they can do a twitter announcement just devalues the entire thing.
