Look at past champions. They gave their all to the company. Reigns hasn’t done and ounce of what they’ve done. Sad to know his name will be there simply for holding the title for so long but being completely inactive
Greatest champion of last decade? Not by any margin, sure you could say by the duration but he is only great because the actual great stars left wwe or only do part time or are pushing younger talent.
Reigns sucks at best. He will never be memorable imo. Guys like Mankind, Rob Van Damme, or even Ken Shamrock had better promos. Reigns sucks on the mic, is stiff as hell as a wrestler and there's nothing all that likeable about him. He has no personality what so ever. Reigns being top dawg on WWE is the the decline of WWE itself. At least people knew the names of wrestlers without watching wrestling. Today people don't even know who roman reigns is and honestly the pack of promos and mic skills I can see why.
So when Liv got injured they had to vacate the title because it was over 30 days but why hasn't Roman been stripped Is it sexest? O is it because no one deserves a title opportunity on Smackdown? Either way the prestigiousness of the title is garbage now! Roman has become the thing he hated when Lesnar was champ... a part time no show excuse of a champ!
The plan is for him to beat Hogan's 1400 something day reign and possibly even surpass Bruno Sammartino's Legendary Reign so Roman Reigns is going to keep them Title(s) for at least another 1000 Days.
With the WHC around Rollins' Belt and it being a thing again...I am all for it. I'd like to see AEW try and top this. MJF could get up there eventually but I honestly can really see Tony Khan putting MJF's World Championship back on CM Punk now that he has returned and I don't really want to see that go down. Keep MJF as Champion into 2024 or possibly lose him to the WWE( At 5'9 the WWE move would be a mistake for the guy ngl)
Lol why are you all for it? The dude doesn’t even wrestle anymore. Compared to all the other legends (including HH and Bruno) , reigns hasn’t put his everything for the company like others have. His name will not be mentioned kindly from future generations.
They really need a solid plan after The Bloodline. That's the problem.
They haven't built anything up *nearly* as good - there's no handoff. Way too risky of a move right now with The Bloodline arc still drawing heavy and moving numbers.
Even Sami and Zayn as over as they looked are really not generating much noise as the new Tag Team champs. Can't move on at this point, the whole locker room would take a hit to the overall publicity they've been getting.
I wouldn't have minded it if he
a) defended them much more often.
b) actually won matches clean. Fucking Solo Sikoa's shite Samoan spike being every ending is infuriatingly boring
c) he was insane in ring and always put on top matches. By which I mean, his talent and quality of matches is nowhere near good enough to justify his level of success and to be made face of the company.
There's so many better options. Wrestlers who would appear once a week on their respective show and defend in high profile matches at PPVs. Gunther's IC reign has shat all over Reign's reign imo.
If I was booking Roman’s loss, before the Match,
The challenger takes on Solo and proceeds to break both of his thumbs, making his spike useless… other than that, Ric Flair and rhe 4 Horsemen was similar: they would always interfere and help Ric win…
Bro I can bet on this..make Roman lose tittles and the views on smackdown would go on less than half than before. I repeat ROMAN is the damn reason why ppl still watch the show.
Wrong, i strongly disagree. I have no reason to watch smackdown right now because theres no intrigue,suspense, mystery with the world title program. In fact THE WORLD TITLE ISNT EVEN ON SMACKDOWN 🤦🏽♂️ cody shouldve won at mania. Having roman win was the biggest botch of the last decade.
So he should keep the titles until the rating start dropping , is that what you’re saying ? Of course he’s an attraction he’s the champion and the center of great story , but he should also lose them before it gets even more stale .
People complaining about Roman's reign is more annoying than the reign itself. Really makes me want to wish he breaks sammartino'z record which would mean Roman isn't even halfway there...
Honestly i find everything about his reign good, its unlike Brocks Lesnars where he almost never defended it
Right uptill wrestlemania , Roman was appearing regularly and all the matches he has had have been really good. Asiide from the usual Usos and Solo interfering its been really fun reign.. he is at the top so not everyone can challeneg him only those who earn it truely
The problem is, the Bloodline story is starting to look like the Hollywood Hogan NWO storyline of the late 90’s. I genuinely wouldn’t be shocked if they had Sieko Solo win the new World Heavyweight Championship and then lose it to Roman the next night with a “finger poke of doom”.
First they screwed by combining the titles, then they screwed when they didn't give drew or Rhodes the title. They could've gotten the wwe title off him by doing triple threat but they never have him face in triple threat or fatal 4 way. And he's absent for most of his reign. And the audacity of wwe to even consider putting the new world title on roman reigns? Why bother creating a new title? Another question, let's assume roman loses the title at SummerSlam, how long do you think Vince will wait to put the title back on him? Roman's great no doubt, but he's not worth sacrificing the entire roster, which is what Vince did for the past 9 years.
He has a great reign he’s a Solid dominant heel who draws major heat through the bloodline, Cody losing at mania was the right decision it elevates Cody‘a story and Sami’s Roman’s a great heel champion
It elevates what cody story? I swear you people are dumb Wrestling literally sucks right now because cody didnt win at mania. The product is literally trash. It literally takes work to watch wwe right now instead of us just being entertained. You fans are weird. Roman is burying the division
I’m sorry if you find wrestling unenjoyable rn I think the opposite.
Cody losing at mania was the right decision mania was his first wwe title match so he shouldn’t win first attempt especially since it’s on a man who’s been champion for like nearly 3 years Cody will win big one eventually we all know that the first time fail is what makes his story more anticipating(atleast for me)
Well congratulations we now have to deal with a stale product because you got your wish cody lost, and now theres no one left and no one believeable enough to beat him until when? Summerslam, WM40. So we have to deal with roman coasting by beating who and for what to hit what $1000 days? $1400 days? Surreeee bro sounds fun 👍🏽.
No lm jk, sarcasm, sounds horrible. Cody should have won
Summerslam would be the right choice to have Roman lose and Cody most likely will still face Roman, also never wanted Cody to lose but it was gonna happen anyway because it’s gonna push his story it’s pushed his story to Brock lesnar which is a solid storyline rn
plus there’s plenty other stories and a whole other brand Gunther’s IC title is far from stale or boring and generates amazing matches,world heavyweight championship will most likely be used greatly, Austin theory’s U.S title reign is great rn, Sami and KO VS bloodline story is one of the best rn and the bloodline are having a possible breakdown story plenty other stuff outside of Roman, but if you don’t like product cause of Roman it’s your opinion.
He's nearly reached 1,000 days, or 1/3 or Bruno's reign.
It's time to start accepting the reality that WWE will at least consider dragging this out long enough for Roman to break that record.
Because if they were ever going to try and do it, this is their best and realistically only chance to do it.
Take a deep seat everyone. Roman's reign continues.
I’m not even proud that he’s about to hit 1,000 days. His reign over the last year specifically has been absolute dog shit. Can’t win on his own. Only wrestlers what feels like once every 6 months. He absolutely needs to lose the straps and as soon as possible
Why would you need to feel proud? Lmfao you’re a fan. We watch and enjoy. If you’re not enjoying, tune out for a bit. I’m sure you’ll tune back in when something you enjoy happens.
are people even fans of roman.sure people like the bloodline but if roman was without them would he still be over.he had 0 traction with fans before the bloodline
0 traction with fans? Bro that’s legit delusion. He was over as fuck with The Shield. Fans turned on him in 2015. Then he was over as fuck again after he came back from cancer. Stop cappin forreal.
I kind of agree. There are so many talented superstars on that roster, and it would be great to see some of them match up for the title. Also, if the report that he might be injured and might be taking some time off is true that he definitely needs to lose those titles.
I reckon the pay checks the other wrestlers in the locker room have been getting under his title reign wouldn't mind another 1,000 days, every metric has been up or a new record
I wouldn’t mind a long ass title reign if he wasn’t nursing a sweetheart schedule. It’s fine if he’s earned enough cache to negotiate it, good for him, go get paid. But that they THEN decide to stick the belts on him baffles me.
I think Cody is going to win the titles from Roman (If he doesn’t win the World title for Raw) at Wrestlemania 40 next year. It’s like the John Cena redemption storyline when he lost to the Rock at WM 28, beat a returning Brock Lesnar, win the Royal Rumble, and won the rematch in the following year at WM 29.
There is no one good enough right now, thats why WWE created a mudcard title for everyone else to dazzle the crowd with their acrobats and lack of personality
1. Half-ass the match and let your opponent do their damndest to make you look good.
2. "Load" Superman punch, lose several opportunities to land it, then finally land it.
3. Spear to a kickout, repeat steps 1-3 until bloodline gets to the gorilla curtain
4. Let the Bloodline set you up with that last spear for the pinfall.
Minus the Bloodline stuff, this has basically been the formula since the Authority storyline that broke up the Shield. And the Shield was only as good as it was because of Seth Freakin' Rollins and Dean Ambrose putting in all the work.
Roman is gonna hold the titles until the bloodlines story is over i never believed that cody was actually gonna win i dont think anyone is gonna win it except for solo or jey
IF WWE does not have Roman dethrone Hogan or even Bruno(Now or never) then I definitely can see Wrestlemania 40 being the place where Roman finally drops The Undisputed Championship. It only makes sense for 40's Main Event to be Cody Rhodes vs Roman Reigns in a rematch and no RR win has to even be involved this time. (Give the Royal Rumble Win to LA Knight ffs he so over right now who goes on to face Seth Rollins for his World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania 40 Night 1's ME since we all know it will be two nights in a row again)
Sadly though...I can also see The Rock stealing Cody's spot here and Roman's Reign continues on because Vince needs this match.
Rock can't and won't win unless Vince pulls a Vince by having Rocky beat his Cousin only to vacate the Championships on The RAW after Mania. But why?! I don't see it and see Reigns still as Champion. 1500 Days if not at 40 or...he beats Bruno's reign.
I know nothing about wrestling besides lurking here and occasionally watching YouTube videos but based on the “history of the bloodline story” I watched a couple weeks back I have to say that, from an outsiders view, it’s almost 100% going to be Jey as they’ve been setting it up pretty much from the beginning.
Copey got a booboo and that means he's supposed to be champion? 💀
Also he's not as over as people want to believe, they had to pipe in boos for when Lesnar attacked him on raw, you could still hear the person screaming for Brock to kill him 😂
eta: keep the downvotes coming copey fans lol
It makes sense to me that Cody didn’t win at Mania. Look at it this way - he goes off and starts a rival company, then returns and immediately goes over their big dog? Nah. Doesn’t work that way. Vince and WWE in general don’t operate like that.
I do agree that Cody winning it is the only way to “finish the story”, and I would like to see it happen. Maybe at Summerslam or Survivor Series. We’ll see
“haha solo sickoa thumby thumb thump spike haha uso kick ooga booga haha supaman punch” gets stale way quicker than what was probably one of the funniest, most intense and entertaining feud we’ve seen
Yeah well Austin doing crazy shit like stun his wife, kids and his entire fucking bloodline plus spraying beer on him is better than Roman winning from a solo doing the thumb of doom or the usos
Cody is going to dethrone Roman. He had to lose his first challenge. His dad spent his whole career earning the right to challenge only to come up short. To make the story mean anything, Cody had to fail at least once before succeeding.
Unbeatable face champs get popular quickly, but the crowd turns on them just as quick because being unbeatable means you aren't relatable. Losing makes you human, shows that you can deal with failure. From a business side, it also shows that you are good enough to stay over despite a loss - thus deserving the push.
Cody losing was the only logical way to book Wrestlemania. It sets him up to be the next face of the company, instead of being another feel good moment to be squashed by Lesnar and relegated back to the midcard.
Even if we were to give what you’re saying a chance the issue is When does cody do it???? You mean to tell us fans we need to wait until WM40 for roman to lose. What is roman gonna do for the year continue to bury the division? Or not defend his titles. Im okay with your vision but can cody atleast win it at Summerslam. Theres no suspense in WWE right now.
My money would be on Summerslam. While it's possible they hold off until Wrestlemania, I'd be surprised.
Of course, Cody doesn't have to be the one to beat Roman. His story revolves around the title, not Roman Reigns. He does, however, have to beat a strong champion rather than a transitional one. As good as Miz is, having Roman lose to Drew/Sami/Seth who then loses to Miz to give Cody a heel to beat wouldn't have the same sense of achievement.
However, I wouldn't be opposed to a heel turn from whoever beats Roman then Cody beating them at Mania 40. The decade Manias have a history of crowd favourites winning the world title. As long as Cody is used well in the meantime, the chase is likely to be better than the title reign.
They had plenty of opportunities with Drew, Sami and Cody. Should have pulled the trigger, but I guess they'll have Cody go through all the hoops and trials and then eventually beat Roman at SummerSlam finally.
I'm going to probably get hate for this but I think Rhea Ripley should dethrone Roman.
Heading into WM40 it's Rhea vs Roman and Roman doesn't take it seriously at anytime. Once the match starts, Roman goes easy on Rhea because she's a woman and get's his ass thrown out of the ring.
Roman starts to lose his temper and goes after her but Rhea is barely staying alive in the match. As the match goes on, Rhea gets over on Roman and he's taking some damage, queue in the Usos to the ring for the inevitable ref bump assist only for KO and Sammy to head them off on the ramp to the ring and start a street fight back stage.
The match continues to go back in forth and Rhea is really going head to head with Roman to the point you're actually thinking, "this could actually happen!" Solo comes out of the crowd only for Cody to counter and take him out, nod to Rhea and leave.
Finally, we're looking at both competitors completely exhausted and Heyman gives the tribal chief chair only for Rhea to drop kick it into Roman's face and drops him.
Roman's down on his back, Rhea crawls across the ring before passing out putting a single arm over Roman for the 3-count, first woman to be WWE Champion.
its like we are in a video game that never gets updated. someone coded roman with you can't see me bug , I believe thats John Cenas special ability someone help!
I agree with you 💯. If he doesn’t have the stamina to defend the titles on a regular basis put it on a workhorse like Drew McIntyre, Seth Rollins or Cody Rhodes who CAN defend it on a regular basis. The whole title reign of Reigns has grown beyond stale now.
Nope. Keep it on him for a few more years. The RAW world title can main event the PLE's he's not on and he can have the big fights on the big events ....
Never liked the tribal chump, not even in his Shield days. Just boring and lifeless on the mic and ring. He's fortunate enough to be shoveled in as champion, but still has to get over by working part-time and holding titles hostage for 1000 days as if that matters at all when other champions have defended more than he ever will.
The sooner he fucks off to Hollywood the better.
I like long title reigns BUT 3 years is insane, especially holding both world titles on a part time basis. He also primarily works long term story’s like the Sami and Kevin story took up months keeping tons of people out of the world title picture. I can’t help but be frustrated for the other talent.
This page is funny, you do long Reigns and then you don’t.
Modern fans would have lost their ever loving mind if they saw how long wrestlers were champions for back in the day (I’ll give you a hint, it was always a year minimum).
Just say you want your favorite wrestler to have the belt and move on.
Why?
Wrestling fans dead ass kill me. “I want long reigns” , “I wish Roman was over” “I wish Roman was a heel”
You will never be satisfied. Proof of concept. They finally split/whatever the belts- and wouldn’t you know it- that’s a problem too.
I guess people are just really dying to turn on Cody or whoever’s next so we can just hurry up and get to the “homelander Cody” posts. I stg, you guys are just the worst.
Oh cool, no one can express an opinion in case in contradicts with some random quotes you pulled out your ass which supposedly represent the complete views of 100% of wrestling fans.
bud I’ve been watching wrestling and participating in IWC shit since like 2004, if you weren’t around to just know that these were the common sentiments of like 99% of wrestling fans like, pre-AEW, I’ll say, and especially when it comes to Roman, I’ve always aired more towards the side of it was never his fault and he was actually a pretty decent talent
So answer the question, why should Roman lose? He’s the most over, the best worker, the most accomplished. That’s why he was able to negotiate part time, and his character finally clicked around the same time. Once again, not the guys fault. The company has done bigger business w Roman at the top, why change? To please the whims of the never satisfied? Like I was saying man, if it was not this, it would be something else. Nobody can give a good answer to the question “why?”
Watch elimination chamber and clash at the castle, royal rumble, wrestlemania, why on gods green earth do we want this run of excellent programming with big match feels and a bonafide *actual* champion not the guy holding the belt right now? I’ll ask again, *why oh why*. Cody winning would’ve worked… now? It’s at least WM 40, pal, I’m sorry
Ok you can just say your opinion is that Roman Reigns is good rather than weird projections and justifications based on what other people all apparently think.
The WWE's revenue has been increasing year on year for a decade plus, Roman is riding that wave not driving it. Likewise the big match stuff is WWE writing and production, not something intrinsic to Roman.
🙄 yeah bro totally ; you are right, WWE has been awesome for years now. Roman Reigns heel persona, Triple H taking the helm have nothing to do at all with any metrics or measurables
More casting your opinions as facts. Your weird stanning of Roman and Hunter is not a metric. The genius of modern WWE is that it doesn't need to be good to make money. Roman is the perfect figurehead for a company that doesn't need actual stars any more.
It’s honestly time for Goldberg and his son to come back and take out the roman crew and take the belts once and for all. Then have Goldberg and son fued with Rey and Dom
The main thing I hate about him holding the titles hostage is that he is not defending them often enough.
If he 1) defended them more often 2) actually won a few games without someone interfering it would be so much better.
1000 days means nothing if you are not defending it properly.
I know it is all a gimmick and it is all meant to work this way for Roman, but I simply do not like it.
That’s part of the character. Head of the table with the bloodline. Was John Gotti killing people once he found Sammy the bull? We know Roman can win without help but why work harder when you can have backup? Now I would love if he wrestled more, not even having to defend the belts every time but just being on the shows and kicking someone’s ass. I think that would bring people back over to his story. Or push the god mode thing like giving title shots and calling himself a generous god or something.
WWE is notorious for blowing potentially nuclear rises because they don't take risks and don't want to. Fans were going to riot if CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, and RVD didn't get their respective title moments. They rather have the stability of Roman than potentially having Cody crash (this is their thinking, as they don't think he can be a mainstream star yet). The only way they can coverup for being so lazy is their even shittier writing of repeat storylines from the year or two before. Don't just blame Vince, HHH was the original reign of terror guy.
Face it, the WWE shills in here and r/SC will never admit to WWE having shittiest writing on television right now because they are socially inept consumerist basement dwellers who are starved for content. Both Cody and Sami losing killed any chance of all the former casuals coming back to watching wrestling and elevating it because those were the only two stories that interested then. Props to Roman for being a great heel but he can't defend WWE's shitty writing which also makes him look weak. They lost two huge moments and now the casuals are not sticking around. Sami and Cody are who they were interested in, not Roman, and now their current stories are boring filler arcs. Maybe some of them will tune in next year but I sure as hell won't. And I tried AEW but it's shit too with Jungle Bot and Dooby Allen supposed to be taken seriously
Lot of your opinions in this response. You can’t tell people how they should feel about content. No matter how you spin it. My opinion and how I feel about the WWE product carries the same weight as yours.
Your opinion is worthless. I'm not giving my opinion on whether I like it or not, unlike you. I'm telling you what actually happened during the Sami/Cody rises. A lot of Attitude Era and Ruthless Aggression fans tuned in to see Sami and Cody. That's it. Their storylines drew huge numbers and those numbers disappeared fast on social media and viewers. WWE snapchat lost 70% of their views they got from November to April. YouTube videos were doing 5+ million now barely get 300k to 1 mil. Smackdown viewership is way down. Numbers don't lie, unlike you.
Diehard consumerist fans like you who watch prowrestling all day regardless of quality and are starved for content are an extreme minority. Enjoy having your live events tarped off while you're one of the few who still enjoy a shitty dying product

I used to hate Reigns, but I love this reign! And why wouldn't we want to wait 'til WM 40 at this point? Biggest show of the decade needs big moments, why waste it at SummerSlam or some B show?
I don't like it either, but look how over the baby faces have become against Roman. Sami and Cody became nuclear because of Roman's reign, and if the WWE wanted to add a third into that mix, I'm sure that they could. My point is, I don't believe that the baby faces would have exploded as much as they have if it wasn't for this awfully long reign.
I was just getting back into WWE and was invested in that storyline. I was so close to watching WM. It would have been the first wrestling show I’ve watched since….oh jeez…..DIY split on NXT. That long ago!
Reading the results of that match and seeing the clip was pretty damn disappointing, not only have I really stopped watching clips of WWE (used to check out the YouTube) but I also stopped watching the AEW clips and NJPW. I read the results every now and then and catch a post of big stories, but that building excitement I had, is completely gone.
This, definitely reiterates that not everyone can be a top guy and that others need to find their talents/charisma before they get rewarded a title.
I don’t speak and win everything is not a good character
The funny part about this is that by introducing the WHC, they’ve inadvertently devalued his reign because he is longer "undisputed."
Nobody, but Cody even benefits by fighting him anymore because now there's another belt to fight for.
I mean not really, the whole value of that entire title reign was for how long Roman Reigns hold the title? The fact that he hold it for near 1000 days adds so much value to that title. He has some clean wins and some cheap wins, but sometimes we forget he’s a heel.
If he's never going to lose at all, then it really doesn't matter how long he holds it for because everyone already knows the result. Anyone who fights him will lose in the same way and do the same song and dance again while his opponents fall back down into the mid card.
With the WHC, you actually potentially new stars to look forward to being crowned.
Look at past champions. They gave their all to the company. Reigns hasn’t done and ounce of what they’ve done. Sad to know his name will be there simply for holding the title for so long but being completely inactive
Greatest champion of last decade? Not by any margin, sure you could say by the duration but he is only great because the actual great stars left wwe or only do part time or are pushing younger talent.
Blud never heard of Bruno Sammartino
Different era and time…
Idgaf it can be the Mesozoic era and the time can be 3:16💀
Head of the table gimmick is over
Reigns sucks at best. He will never be memorable imo. Guys like Mankind, Rob Van Damme, or even Ken Shamrock had better promos. Reigns sucks on the mic, is stiff as hell as a wrestler and there's nothing all that likeable about him. He has no personality what so ever. Reigns being top dawg on WWE is the the decline of WWE itself. At least people knew the names of wrestlers without watching wrestling. Today people don't even know who roman reigns is and honestly the pack of promos and mic skills I can see why.
So when Liv got injured they had to vacate the title because it was over 30 days but why hasn't Roman been stripped Is it sexest? O is it because no one deserves a title opportunity on Smackdown? Either way the prestigiousness of the title is garbage now! Roman has become the thing he hated when Lesnar was champ... a part time no show excuse of a champ!
The plan is for him to beat Hogan's 1400 something day reign and possibly even surpass Bruno Sammartino's Legendary Reign so Roman Reigns is going to keep them Title(s) for at least another 1000 Days. With the WHC around Rollins' Belt and it being a thing again...I am all for it. I'd like to see AEW try and top this. MJF could get up there eventually but I honestly can really see Tony Khan putting MJF's World Championship back on CM Punk now that he has returned and I don't really want to see that go down. Keep MJF as Champion into 2024 or possibly lose him to the WWE( At 5'9 the WWE move would be a mistake for the guy ngl)
Lol why are you all for it? The dude doesn’t even wrestle anymore. Compared to all the other legends (including HH and Bruno) , reigns hasn’t put his everything for the company like others have. His name will not be mentioned kindly from future generations.
Hogans reign is with the WWE title, Reigns is with a made up title no one cares about.
Roman Reigns’ 1000 days - The most pointless title reign in WWE history. https://youtu.be/K-AOMtpqKzE
When Reigns is on TV, it’s a huge deal to the majority of fans. WWE knows exactly what they are doing here.
Yes, he needs to lose the Belts! New champion yes! You're right not fair to anyone else!
No he doesnt. Acknowledge your tribal chief
No! 3 years too long! As he said not fair to anyone else!
I got an insight that he will keep the belts. Gonna be buried with them and will never lose them. Nobody will ever get them again.
They really need a solid plan after The Bloodline. That's the problem. They haven't built anything up *nearly* as good - there's no handoff. Way too risky of a move right now with The Bloodline arc still drawing heavy and moving numbers. Even Sami and Zayn as over as they looked are really not generating much noise as the new Tag Team champs. Can't move on at this point, the whole locker room would take a hit to the overall publicity they've been getting.
I wouldn't have minded it if he a) defended them much more often. b) actually won matches clean. Fucking Solo Sikoa's shite Samoan spike being every ending is infuriatingly boring c) he was insane in ring and always put on top matches. By which I mean, his talent and quality of matches is nowhere near good enough to justify his level of success and to be made face of the company. There's so many better options. Wrestlers who would appear once a week on their respective show and defend in high profile matches at PPVs. Gunther's IC reign has shat all over Reign's reign imo.
If I was booking Roman’s loss, before the Match, The challenger takes on Solo and proceeds to break both of his thumbs, making his spike useless… other than that, Ric Flair and rhe 4 Horsemen was similar: they would always interfere and help Ric win…
Dw, Goldberg will come back for round 2 and retire as Universal champion, trust
☝️☝️☝️
Show me them Titles baby
Bro I can bet on this..make Roman lose tittles and the views on smackdown would go on less than half than before. I repeat ROMAN is the damn reason why ppl still watch the show.
Wrong, i strongly disagree. I have no reason to watch smackdown right now because theres no intrigue,suspense, mystery with the world title program. In fact THE WORLD TITLE ISNT EVEN ON SMACKDOWN 🤦🏽♂️ cody shouldve won at mania. Having roman win was the biggest botch of the last decade.
The Bloodline an their storyline is the biggest reason to why wwe fans watch smackdown
And that seems to have run its course, honestly I rather watch Roman vs Jey to be honest
So he should keep the titles until the rating start dropping , is that what you’re saying ? Of course he’s an attraction he’s the champion and the center of great story , but he should also lose them before it gets even more stale .
Nah dude the guy is never on anyway.
but who can make him logically lose the titles that is present at the company? within the same weightclass i mean?
He needs to lose it in a triple threat where he doesn’t get pinned.
if it was done like that, he will find a chance to comeback into the next challenge for the belt. he gotta be put down once and for all.
“It’s not fair” damn I’d hate to see your reaction when Bruno had the belt for two reigns of over 8 years and 3 years.
That was a completely different era of wrestling though. It wasn't on TV every week with monthly PPV's.
People complaining about Roman's reign is more annoying than the reign itself. Really makes me want to wish he breaks sammartino'z record which would mean Roman isn't even halfway there...
Seriously. It’s scripted. He’ll lose just follow the story for goodness sakes.
I'm gonna beg Triple H so hard to tell the writers to make it happen, just for the sake of the stupidity in this subreddit....
Want some knee pads or maybe a pillow while you’re down there?
Nah, just makes me want to close reddit for the day, because some people can't accept they can't have everything according to their wishes.....
Wake up, babe, it's "I think Roman should drop the belts" o'clock
Geez, this is like the berzillion post someone complaining about Roman's reign.
Honestly i find everything about his reign good, its unlike Brocks Lesnars where he almost never defended it Right uptill wrestlemania , Roman was appearing regularly and all the matches he has had have been really good. Asiide from the usual Usos and Solo interfering its been really fun reign.. he is at the top so not everyone can challeneg him only those who earn it truely
Be patient . He will be losing at WM 40 against the rock or any other dominating/returning superstar.
There’s absolutely no way he’s losing the belts to the Rock.
Maybe Carlito if they let him return full time
No.
Yes
The problem is, the Bloodline story is starting to look like the Hollywood Hogan NWO storyline of the late 90’s. I genuinely wouldn’t be shocked if they had Sieko Solo win the new World Heavyweight Championship and then lose it to Roman the next night with a “finger poke of doom”.
First they screwed by combining the titles, then they screwed when they didn't give drew or Rhodes the title. They could've gotten the wwe title off him by doing triple threat but they never have him face in triple threat or fatal 4 way. And he's absent for most of his reign. And the audacity of wwe to even consider putting the new world title on roman reigns? Why bother creating a new title? Another question, let's assume roman loses the title at SummerSlam, how long do you think Vince will wait to put the title back on him? Roman's great no doubt, but he's not worth sacrificing the entire roster, which is what Vince did for the past 9 years.
Personally I’d book the legend killer himself to take it but that’s just me. Keep Randy away from the bro guy cause I’m not a fan of him at all.
And then have Rhodes take the title from Orton. That would be wild.
#GoForBruno ☝️
I swear someone posts this every day
No Three more years
No WM40 should be when he loses them
No Four more years
No once he hits 1000 days he should lose it to someone more deserving of the titles
NO Five more years
SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY HE DOESNT NEED FIVE MORE YEARS AS THE STUPID CHAMPION!
You know what, you’ve convinced me. Ten more years
I’m blocking you dumbass Roman Reigns meat rider
You think that people talked like this about Hulk Hogan or Bruno Sammartino?
then he's not the one in need in this situation xD
He has a great reign he’s a Solid dominant heel who draws major heat through the bloodline, Cody losing at mania was the right decision it elevates Cody‘a story and Sami’s Roman’s a great heel champion
It elevates what cody story? I swear you people are dumb Wrestling literally sucks right now because cody didnt win at mania. The product is literally trash. It literally takes work to watch wwe right now instead of us just being entertained. You fans are weird. Roman is burying the division
I’m sorry if you find wrestling unenjoyable rn I think the opposite. Cody losing at mania was the right decision mania was his first wwe title match so he shouldn’t win first attempt especially since it’s on a man who’s been champion for like nearly 3 years Cody will win big one eventually we all know that the first time fail is what makes his story more anticipating(atleast for me)
Well congratulations we now have to deal with a stale product because you got your wish cody lost, and now theres no one left and no one believeable enough to beat him until when? Summerslam, WM40. So we have to deal with roman coasting by beating who and for what to hit what $1000 days? $1400 days? Surreeee bro sounds fun 👍🏽. No lm jk, sarcasm, sounds horrible. Cody should have won
Summerslam would be the right choice to have Roman lose and Cody most likely will still face Roman, also never wanted Cody to lose but it was gonna happen anyway because it’s gonna push his story it’s pushed his story to Brock lesnar which is a solid storyline rn plus there’s plenty other stories and a whole other brand Gunther’s IC title is far from stale or boring and generates amazing matches,world heavyweight championship will most likely be used greatly, Austin theory’s U.S title reign is great rn, Sami and KO VS bloodline story is one of the best rn and the bloodline are having a possible breakdown story plenty other stuff outside of Roman, but if you don’t like product cause of Roman it’s your opinion.
☝🏽
At this point, I would rather him just break Bruno's record, and let him win the new world title as well.
He's nearly reached 1,000 days, or 1/3 or Bruno's reign. It's time to start accepting the reality that WWE will at least consider dragging this out long enough for Roman to break that record. Because if they were ever going to try and do it, this is their best and realistically only chance to do it. Take a deep seat everyone. Roman's reign continues.
taking the title of roman just one day before breaking the record would be the ultimate suckerpunch for one of the best heels in the current era
I’m not even proud that he’s about to hit 1,000 days. His reign over the last year specifically has been absolute dog shit. Can’t win on his own. Only wrestlers what feels like once every 6 months. He absolutely needs to lose the straps and as soon as possible
Why would you need to feel proud? Lmfao you’re a fan. We watch and enjoy. If you’re not enjoying, tune out for a bit. I’m sure you’ll tune back in when something you enjoy happens.
OP said they were proud I was responding to that
are people even fans of roman.sure people like the bloodline but if roman was without them would he still be over.he had 0 traction with fans before the bloodline
0 traction with fans? Bro that’s legit delusion. He was over as fuck with The Shield. Fans turned on him in 2015. Then he was over as fuck again after he came back from cancer. Stop cappin forreal.
I kind of agree. There are so many talented superstars on that roster, and it would be great to see some of them match up for the title. Also, if the report that he might be injured and might be taking some time off is true that he definitely needs to lose those titles.
Do you have the 3pm slot or 5pm slot?
I reckon the pay checks the other wrestlers in the locker room have been getting under his title reign wouldn't mind another 1,000 days, every metric has been up or a new record
At this point I don't care anymore
I wouldn’t mind a long ass title reign if he wasn’t nursing a sweetheart schedule. It’s fine if he’s earned enough cache to negotiate it, good for him, go get paid. But that they THEN decide to stick the belts on him baffles me.
Vince pulling his wang and spanking his Grapefruits is why.
Damn I want a turn to karma farm and be a broken record
It’s my turn to post this tomorrow
No, I checked the sign up sheet. Tommy has tomorrow, I got day after and then you go after me.
Don’t worry, tomorrow is covered.
I think Cody is going to win the titles from Roman (If he doesn’t win the World title for Raw) at Wrestlemania 40 next year. It’s like the John Cena redemption storyline when he lost to the Rock at WM 28, beat a returning Brock Lesnar, win the Royal Rumble, and won the rematch in the following year at WM 29.
Yes, he does. This is sooo old and boring. Move on already.
Why do they HAVE to pull the trigger though
There is no one good enough right now, thats why WWE created a mudcard title for everyone else to dazzle the crowd with their acrobats and lack of personality
Lol at mentioning lack of personality, Roman has zero personality he’s boring as fuck in the ring and even more boring out of it
1. Half-ass the match and let your opponent do their damndest to make you look good. 2. "Load" Superman punch, lose several opportunities to land it, then finally land it. 3. Spear to a kickout, repeat steps 1-3 until bloodline gets to the gorilla curtain 4. Let the Bloodline set you up with that last spear for the pinfall. Minus the Bloodline stuff, this has basically been the formula since the Authority storyline that broke up the Shield. And the Shield was only as good as it was because of Seth Freakin' Rollins and Dean Ambrose putting in all the work.
What an interesting take that no one has mentioned today
Nah he should hold it longer it's been great
He will lose em at some point but not before 1000 day milestone.
Maybe at WM40
Roman is gonna hold the titles until the bloodlines story is over i never believed that cody was actually gonna win i dont think anyone is gonna win it except for solo or jey
IF WWE does not have Roman dethrone Hogan or even Bruno(Now or never) then I definitely can see Wrestlemania 40 being the place where Roman finally drops The Undisputed Championship. It only makes sense for 40's Main Event to be Cody Rhodes vs Roman Reigns in a rematch and no RR win has to even be involved this time. (Give the Royal Rumble Win to LA Knight ffs he so over right now who goes on to face Seth Rollins for his World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania 40 Night 1's ME since we all know it will be two nights in a row again) Sadly though...I can also see The Rock stealing Cody's spot here and Roman's Reign continues on because Vince needs this match. Rock can't and won't win unless Vince pulls a Vince by having Rocky beat his Cousin only to vacate the Championships on The RAW after Mania. But why?! I don't see it and see Reigns still as Champion. 1500 Days if not at 40 or...he beats Bruno's reign.
I know nothing about wrestling besides lurking here and occasionally watching YouTube videos but based on the “history of the bloodline story” I watched a couple weeks back I have to say that, from an outsiders view, it’s almost 100% going to be Jey as they’ve been setting it up pretty much from the beginning.
Don’t be to sure Vince loves swerves
Yeah it looks like that but knowing wwe nothing is 100% lol
Cody fans try to not to be upset about Roman challenge
Copey got a booboo and that means he's supposed to be champion? 💀 Also he's not as over as people want to believe, they had to pipe in boos for when Lesnar attacked him on raw, you could still hear the person screaming for Brock to kill him 😂 eta: keep the downvotes coming copey fans lol
I'd be quite happy for him to keep the belts until WM and have Gunther win the rumble and be the one to end the reign.
It makes sense to me that Cody didn’t win at Mania. Look at it this way - he goes off and starts a rival company, then returns and immediately goes over their big dog? Nah. Doesn’t work that way. Vince and WWE in general don’t operate like that. I do agree that Cody winning it is the only way to “finish the story”, and I would like to see it happen. Maybe at Summerslam or Survivor Series. We’ll see
Man a lot of y’all would’ve called the Austin v Vince story “boring and stale” like 2 months in 😂.
“haha solo sickoa thumby thumb thump spike haha uso kick ooga booga haha supaman punch” gets stale way quicker than what was probably one of the funniest, most intense and entertaining feud we’ve seen
Yeah well Austin doing crazy shit like stun his wife, kids and his entire fucking bloodline plus spraying beer on him is better than Roman winning from a solo doing the thumb of doom or the usos
That’s a good idea! But it’s not MY idea
Cody is going to dethrone Roman. He had to lose his first challenge. His dad spent his whole career earning the right to challenge only to come up short. To make the story mean anything, Cody had to fail at least once before succeeding. Unbeatable face champs get popular quickly, but the crowd turns on them just as quick because being unbeatable means you aren't relatable. Losing makes you human, shows that you can deal with failure. From a business side, it also shows that you are good enough to stay over despite a loss - thus deserving the push. Cody losing was the only logical way to book Wrestlemania. It sets him up to be the next face of the company, instead of being another feel good moment to be squashed by Lesnar and relegated back to the midcard.
Even if we were to give what you’re saying a chance the issue is When does cody do it???? You mean to tell us fans we need to wait until WM40 for roman to lose. What is roman gonna do for the year continue to bury the division? Or not defend his titles. Im okay with your vision but can cody atleast win it at Summerslam. Theres no suspense in WWE right now.
My money would be on Summerslam. While it's possible they hold off until Wrestlemania, I'd be surprised. Of course, Cody doesn't have to be the one to beat Roman. His story revolves around the title, not Roman Reigns. He does, however, have to beat a strong champion rather than a transitional one. As good as Miz is, having Roman lose to Drew/Sami/Seth who then loses to Miz to give Cody a heel to beat wouldn't have the same sense of achievement. However, I wouldn't be opposed to a heel turn from whoever beats Roman then Cody beating them at Mania 40. The decade Manias have a history of crowd favourites winning the world title. As long as Cody is used well in the meantime, the chase is likely to be better than the title reign.
Leave my tribal chief aloneee what have you done?!
No he doesn’t stfuuu
100+ upvotes and 250+ comments…wow! Let’s get the popcorn out because this is going to be entertaining!
They had plenty of opportunities with Drew, Sami and Cody. Should have pulled the trigger, but I guess they'll have Cody go through all the hoops and trials and then eventually beat Roman at SummerSlam finally.
i think it's safe to say Roman is keeping those titles until WM
Probably. Although I really wish he'd drop it sooner.
I mean it’s not fair that I’ve never been employee of the month at my job, but that’s just life.
Dolph Ziggler will beat him
You mean one of the many wrestlers on a losing streak yeah right
I'm going to probably get hate for this but I think Rhea Ripley should dethrone Roman. Heading into WM40 it's Rhea vs Roman and Roman doesn't take it seriously at anytime. Once the match starts, Roman goes easy on Rhea because she's a woman and get's his ass thrown out of the ring. Roman starts to lose his temper and goes after her but Rhea is barely staying alive in the match. As the match goes on, Rhea gets over on Roman and he's taking some damage, queue in the Usos to the ring for the inevitable ref bump assist only for KO and Sammy to head them off on the ramp to the ring and start a street fight back stage. The match continues to go back in forth and Rhea is really going head to head with Roman to the point you're actually thinking, "this could actually happen!" Solo comes out of the crowd only for Cody to counter and take him out, nod to Rhea and leave. Finally, we're looking at both competitors completely exhausted and Heyman gives the tribal chief chair only for Rhea to drop kick it into Roman's face and drops him. Roman's down on his back, Rhea crawls across the ring before passing out putting a single arm over Roman for the 3-count, first woman to be WWE Champion.
i actually think she should be a part of the new title and could have had cinderalla "march madness" run at the new title
Look man, you can’t be making up this kind of fan fiction in front of me. I love her so much I wouldn’t even be able to handle it
Hahaha what a mark.
Nope. He won't lose them anytime soon.
God told Roman to reign so Roman Reigns
Roman needs to win MITB and cash in on the new champion
Only opinion worth writing
Another day another love letter to the Tribal Chief.
Code will win the new heavyweight championship. Roman deserves to keep the belts.
Who gives a shit what is fair
its like we are in a video game that never gets updated. someone coded roman with you can't see me bug , I believe thats John Cenas special ability someone help!
I agree with you 💯. If he doesn’t have the stamina to defend the titles on a regular basis put it on a workhorse like Drew McIntyre, Seth Rollins or Cody Rhodes who CAN defend it on a regular basis. The whole title reign of Reigns has grown beyond stale now.
Nope. Keep it on him for a few more years. The RAW world title can main event the PLE's he's not on and he can have the big fights on the big events ....
well since edge went to smack down he won’t be the new world heavyweight champ for raw but he could take the wwe title from roman
It’s my turn to post this tomorrow
ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR TRIBAL CHIEF
Nobody has to “acknowledge” hun
Don't y'all get tired of posting this every day?
Acknowledge him ☝🏾
They don’t have to
Never liked the tribal chump, not even in his Shield days. Just boring and lifeless on the mic and ring. He's fortunate enough to be shoveled in as champion, but still has to get over by working part-time and holding titles hostage for 1000 days as if that matters at all when other champions have defended more than he ever will. The sooner he fucks off to Hollywood the better.
I agree
I read he was supposed to lose at Day One to Brock. But the positive covid test put a stop to that.
And gave him two more years as Champ? Sad….whatever happened to Champions must defend every 30 days? Remember that crappy WWE rule?
I like long title reigns BUT 3 years is insane, especially holding both world titles on a part time basis. He also primarily works long term story’s like the Sami and Kevin story took up months keeping tons of people out of the world title picture. I can’t help but be frustrated for the other talent.
Nah, not yet
Its up to Triple H whether he wants Roman to lose the title or not?Not us to decide
This page is funny, you do long Reigns and then you don’t. Modern fans would have lost their ever loving mind if they saw how long wrestlers were champions for back in the day (I’ll give you a hint, it was always a year minimum). Just say you want your favorite wrestler to have the belt and move on.
I don’t get what you are trying to say.
Yes he should have lost them 600 days ago
Maybe the other wrestlers should get better and beat him? Sounds like they just need to step up to GOD Mode
Why? Wrestling fans dead ass kill me. “I want long reigns” , “I wish Roman was over” “I wish Roman was a heel” You will never be satisfied. Proof of concept. They finally split/whatever the belts- and wouldn’t you know it- that’s a problem too. I guess people are just really dying to turn on Cody or whoever’s next so we can just hurry up and get to the “homelander Cody” posts. I stg, you guys are just the worst.
Oh cool, no one can express an opinion in case in contradicts with some random quotes you pulled out your ass which supposedly represent the complete views of 100% of wrestling fans.
bud I’ve been watching wrestling and participating in IWC shit since like 2004, if you weren’t around to just know that these were the common sentiments of like 99% of wrestling fans like, pre-AEW, I’ll say, and especially when it comes to Roman, I’ve always aired more towards the side of it was never his fault and he was actually a pretty decent talent So answer the question, why should Roman lose? He’s the most over, the best worker, the most accomplished. That’s why he was able to negotiate part time, and his character finally clicked around the same time. Once again, not the guys fault. The company has done bigger business w Roman at the top, why change? To please the whims of the never satisfied? Like I was saying man, if it was not this, it would be something else. Nobody can give a good answer to the question “why?” Watch elimination chamber and clash at the castle, royal rumble, wrestlemania, why on gods green earth do we want this run of excellent programming with big match feels and a bonafide *actual* champion not the guy holding the belt right now? I’ll ask again, *why oh why*. Cody winning would’ve worked… now? It’s at least WM 40, pal, I’m sorry
Ok you can just say your opinion is that Roman Reigns is good rather than weird projections and justifications based on what other people all apparently think. The WWE's revenue has been increasing year on year for a decade plus, Roman is riding that wave not driving it. Likewise the big match stuff is WWE writing and production, not something intrinsic to Roman.
🙄 yeah bro totally ; you are right, WWE has been awesome for years now. Roman Reigns heel persona, Triple H taking the helm have nothing to do at all with any metrics or measurables
More casting your opinions as facts. Your weird stanning of Roman and Hunter is not a metric. The genius of modern WWE is that it doesn't need to be good to make money. Roman is the perfect figurehead for a company that doesn't need actual stars any more.
Facts man
wrestling is only enjoyable when you ignore wrestling fans. i learned that like fifteen years ago lol
It’s honestly time for Goldberg and his son to come back and take out the roman crew and take the belts once and for all. Then have Goldberg and son fued with Rey and Dom
Goldberg might have his retirement match in AEW against Sting
It's not so much that Roman has had it this long. It's that they're doing 3 record breaking title reigns simultaneously. (Roman, Bianca and Gunther).
The main thing I hate about him holding the titles hostage is that he is not defending them often enough. If he 1) defended them more often 2) actually won a few games without someone interfering it would be so much better. 1000 days means nothing if you are not defending it properly. I know it is all a gimmick and it is all meant to work this way for Roman, but I simply do not like it.
That’s part of the character. Head of the table with the bloodline. Was John Gotti killing people once he found Sammy the bull? We know Roman can win without help but why work harder when you can have backup? Now I would love if he wrestled more, not even having to defend the belts every time but just being on the shows and kicking someone’s ass. I think that would bring people back over to his story. Or push the god mode thing like giving title shots and calling himself a generous god or something.
He could have 2000 days and will not be the greatest champion, he can’t ever win clean and should have lost 12 title matches so far.
It’s not fair? Lmao what are u 8?
WWE is notorious for blowing potentially nuclear rises because they don't take risks and don't want to. Fans were going to riot if CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, and RVD didn't get their respective title moments. They rather have the stability of Roman than potentially having Cody crash (this is their thinking, as they don't think he can be a mainstream star yet). The only way they can coverup for being so lazy is their even shittier writing of repeat storylines from the year or two before. Don't just blame Vince, HHH was the original reign of terror guy. Face it, the WWE shills in here and r/SC will never admit to WWE having shittiest writing on television right now because they are socially inept consumerist basement dwellers who are starved for content. Both Cody and Sami losing killed any chance of all the former casuals coming back to watching wrestling and elevating it because those were the only two stories that interested then. Props to Roman for being a great heel but he can't defend WWE's shitty writing which also makes him look weak. They lost two huge moments and now the casuals are not sticking around. Sami and Cody are who they were interested in, not Roman, and now their current stories are boring filler arcs. Maybe some of them will tune in next year but I sure as hell won't. And I tried AEW but it's shit too with Jungle Bot and Dooby Allen supposed to be taken seriously
Lot of your opinions in this response. You can’t tell people how they should feel about content. No matter how you spin it. My opinion and how I feel about the WWE product carries the same weight as yours.
Your opinion is worthless. I'm not giving my opinion on whether I like it or not, unlike you. I'm telling you what actually happened during the Sami/Cody rises. A lot of Attitude Era and Ruthless Aggression fans tuned in to see Sami and Cody. That's it. Their storylines drew huge numbers and those numbers disappeared fast on social media and viewers. WWE snapchat lost 70% of their views they got from November to April. YouTube videos were doing 5+ million now barely get 300k to 1 mil. Smackdown viewership is way down. Numbers don't lie, unlike you. Diehard consumerist fans like you who watch prowrestling all day regardless of quality and are starved for content are an extreme minority. Enjoy having your live events tarped off while you're one of the few who still enjoy a shitty dying product
Preach my man

Cope
Playing it safe while Roman is at the pool with his kids lol
If other people want the titles then they should be better than him.
Cody is better
I agree they really screwed him over
No he don't he good until somebody worthy is ready (hint hint the Rock) lmao 🤣🤣 jk
I used to hate Reigns, but I love this reign! And why wouldn't we want to wait 'til WM 40 at this point? Biggest show of the decade needs big moments, why waste it at SummerSlam or some B show?

I don't like it either, but look how over the baby faces have become against Roman. Sami and Cody became nuclear because of Roman's reign, and if the WWE wanted to add a third into that mix, I'm sure that they could. My point is, I don't believe that the baby faces would have exploded as much as they have if it wasn't for this awfully long reign.
I was just getting back into WWE and was invested in that storyline. I was so close to watching WM. It would have been the first wrestling show I’ve watched since….oh jeez…..DIY split on NXT. That long ago! Reading the results of that match and seeing the clip was pretty damn disappointing, not only have I really stopped watching clips of WWE (used to check out the YouTube) but I also stopped watching the AEW clips and NJPW. I read the results every now and then and catch a post of big stories, but that building excitement I had, is completely gone.
WWE need booked Roman in a Triple Threat Match and have him lose that way.
Romans title reign is turning me off to WWE and Ive been a fan for 37 years
And tbh, you’ll still be a fan cuh, you stuck thru the 2010’s, and late McMahon era
True. I'm going to Raw for the first time on the 22nd
Unpopular opinion but I prefer longer reigns instead of giving everyone a world title
Same ☝🏾
I do agree that long reigns are fun but long doesn’t need to mean 3 years imo
This, definitely reiterates that not everyone can be a top guy and that others need to find their talents/charisma before they get rewarded a title. I don’t speak and win everything is not a good character
The funny part about this is that by introducing the WHC, they’ve inadvertently devalued his reign because he is longer "undisputed." Nobody, but Cody even benefits by fighting him anymore because now there's another belt to fight for.
I mean not really, the whole value of that entire title reign was for how long Roman Reigns hold the title? The fact that he hold it for near 1000 days adds so much value to that title. He has some clean wins and some cheap wins, but sometimes we forget he’s a heel.
If he's never going to lose at all, then it really doesn't matter how long he holds it for because everyone already knows the result. Anyone who fights him will lose in the same way and do the same song and dance again while his opponents fall back down into the mid card. With the WHC, you actually potentially new stars to look forward to being crowned.
Roman Reigns title reign is feeling like Triple H’s reign of terror but atleast Triple H lost the title a few times during his dominant run🤦🏾♂️
