There’s a lot of conversion still going around Roman Reigns and The Rock, so we’ll
see new there.
We’ll also check out what happened with Seth Rollins getting cut from Raw, and much
more
Let’s start things off with another update on Roman Reigns
A lot of fans thought that Wrestlemania 39 was the end for Roman Reigns
Cody Rhodes puts an end to the three year long title reign, finishes his story, and
becomes the first new universal champion since 2020
But that didn’t turn out to be the case, Roman Reigns retained and will now be continuing
his historic championship reign
When Roman unified the world titles and won at Wrestlemania 38, fans figured that this
title reign was going to be around for the long haul
And everyone is sort of feeling that same exact feeling again after the results of Wrestlemania
39
Seeing Roman overcome the perfect individual who could’ve realistically defeat him for
the world title has everyone going back to square one of believing that this title reign
is no where even close to ending, at least not for the foreseeable future
The next big time that Roman may face another big challenge that is a big enough threat
to his titles could very well be at Summerslam
Summerslam is WWE’s second biggest show of the year and since Roman is still champion,
it’s pretty much already locked in that Roman will be headlining Summerslam and competing
in the main event for that show
It’s still too early to tell who Roman will be facing at that event, but it looks like
the biggest fan dream match is for Roman Reigns versus Jey Uso to take place at Summerslam
It’s been almost three full years since Roman and Jey stood on opposite sides of the
ring and competed against each other
And they only had two matches against each other in 2020, so if they do have another
match against each other in 2023, it’ll basically serve as their third match together
and will complete their little trilogy
And the tension is definitely there for it
We know that Jey hasn’t been seeing eye to eye with Roman ever since the Royal Rumble,
but Jey sucked up his issues and re-joined The Bloodline mostly for the sake of his brothers
His brothers, Solo and Jimmy, haven’t done anything wrong to him, so he knows deep down
in his heart that it would be wrong to abandon them only because he has issues with just
Roman Reigns
So that’s really the only motivation and reason Jey had for keeping things quiet and
coming back to the bloodline after walking out on them
Because remember, Jey was cursing Roman out, telling him to leave him alone, but the second
Roman threatened to do something to Jimmy if Jey didn’t return…
Jey came instantly back just 48 hours later
So it’s no secret that Jey is only in The Bloodline right now for the sake of his brothers
and not because he enjoys serving Roman
So that fact will be important if they do decide to revisit Roman Reigns versus Jey
Uso
Maybe Jey does get fed up, he can’t keep his emotions suppressed anymore and does challenge
Roman Reigns for the world titles and for the title of being the tribal chief for the
family
Maybe that’s what could lead to that Summerslam match and either one of two things will happen
Jey Uso finally takes down Roman Reigns and gains control of the family all in one night…,
or Roman Reigns defeats Jey Uso and puts him back in his place like he first did in 2020
So the Roman Reigns and Jey Uso route is definitely an option that’s on the table
But like we mentioned before, Bobby Lashley is someone that just has to face Roman Reigns
in the near future as well
Roman Reigns and Bobby Lashley have not met one one one during this universal title reign
at all
So instead of going back and just having another big rematch against an old rival, facing Bobby
Lashley would be a brand new fresh matchup for Roman Reigns
And that narrative is also already in place
Bobby Lashley went from WWE champion, to having matches with Brock Lesnar, to being completely
left off the Wrestlemania 39 card
So even his character should be full of rage and hunger to get back into the world title
scene and make some noise against Roman
And the last big potential opponent for Roman Reigns that’s once again on the table is
of course The Rock
It’s getting to the point that talking about Roman versus The Rock feels like a meme because
we always get so close and then it never happens
This is a matchup that fans have been talking about a lot for the last three Wrestlemanias
Well the conversation about this match was once again revived by no other than The Rock
himself
The Rock to Instagram to comment on his family’s big matches on the show and teased a future
appearance with them, he had this to say, quote:
“I gotta tell you, I’m so excited for not only all the matches, but, especially
the main event with my cousin Roman Reigns, the Universal Champion.
My entire family, the entire Bloodline – Jey, Jimmy, Solo, we’re so proud of you guys.
Electrify So-Fi Stadium.
Do what you do, it’s in our blood.
Who knows?
Maybe, just maybe down the road, I’ll see you in person.
I’ll just leave it at that.”
End quote
So everyone is pretty exhausted by now for when it comes to discussing The Rock versus
Roman Reigns, but when you have some big words and a big tease like that coming directly
from The Rock’s mouth, you do gotta pay some attention to it
The Rock’s reason for skipping Wrestlemania 39 was allegedly because he felt like he wasn’t
in proper ring shape to work a full Wrestlemania match
But if he’s already teasing a confrontation with The Bloodline and meeting with them in
person soon, you do gotta wonder if he could be getting in shape for something down the
line because he was definitely giving out a big tease there
So it’s becoming a repetitive cycle and topic to discuss, but is The Rock versus Roman
Reigns a possibility for Wrestlemania 40? and will Roman still be champion at that event
a full calendar year from now?
Is all bizarre questions that no one expect to hear, but now that Roman’s title reign
is continuing, there really is no end date in sight
So we’ll have to see what new feuds, stories, and rivals they come up with as Roman Reigns
surpasses 1000 days as WWE Universal Champion
————————
The Raw After Wrestlemania episode was absolutely slaughtered by fans for being heavily inconsistent,
full of logic holes, and messy last second cancellations
One of those big last second cancellations affected Seth Rollins the most
Seth Rollins made his way to the ring for a segment of some sorts on the Raw after Wrestlemania
And usually on this show, we see big returns or the beginning of new rivalries and stories
So when a big superstar like Seth Rollins came out to the ring, that’s exactly what
everyone was expecting to see here with this segment
But when Raw comes back from commercial break, Seth Rollins is standing in the ring and he
quickly rolls out the ring and walks up the ramp to end the segment, and it was just one
of the most strangest moments of the night
Well fan recorded footage from Raw seems to reveal more of what happened there
The fan footage shows Seth Rollins talking with some WWE producers while the show was
on a commercial break, likely informing him about his segment being cut and completely
changed from what he was originally expecting
So that’s just how crazy things were with the Raw after Wrestlemania, segments were
being cut and re-written while the actual talent was literally standing in the ring
themselves
Reports don’t know if this will be the new creative process again going forward or if
things will go back to normal, only time will tell
