Some fans may believe that this is a little early for Reigns to insert himself in the main event scene. However, technically he was already there when he left and is owed a match for the title he never lost.
One has to feel for Wyatt and Strowman though. It is likely that the former will lose his title just a week after losing it. Strowman on the other hand, seems to have been included just to eat the three count in order to protect Wyatt. This would mean two crushing losses in the span of a week for a man the WWE want you to think is a monster.
However, this is all just speculation at this point and there’s a good chance we’re getting ahead of ourselves. For now, we will just have to wait and see how this unfolds and where it leads to.
