Where does everyone get the idea that they're keeping him off TV because of the reactions he'll get? Aren't they just playing up the injury/surgery angle? Then Ambrose should be off as well, given he was decimated by Lesnar last week and pummeled by Triple H this week. I also bet Reigns won't be wrestling with an orbital mask.

No, but it sure looks that way. WWE has been very forthcoming with advertised talent lately. With the exception of big surprise returns (Shane), they pretty much spell it all out for you, because they need all the names they can get to sell tickets for their shows. Removing Roman from the list is a fairly decent indicator. Not to mention, he's still scheduled for some house shows prior to the second of these two Raws. He should be back next week. They put themselves in this mess, it's time to see it through and deal with the embarrassment. It looks that way but it's not a given. So why all the hate/salt? How about waiting and seeing? If he's kept off TV next week then you guys will have something to complain about but right now you don't have. It's just complaining out of some rumors/speculation... It's simply the fact that, given the lay of the land in regards to advertised talent as of late, it seems far more likely than not. And if it turns out that way, it's just another notch in WWE's laundry list of "how we failed Roman Reigns." But, alas, it is what it is. On an unrelated note, I feel compelled to note because of your signature, the Mania graphics are gorgeous this year.

I dunno. I'll see where it goes before I make a judgement, but this just does not feel like a WM feud to me. How are people supposed to get excited for the main event when one guy isn't around for weeks to help build the tension?
HHH did everything in his power to get Roman away from the title..only for the Authority to immediately turn around and give him a title shot? And then just let him win cleanly..just like that? I just cannot think of any logical reasoning behind that.
Though, it's not all WWE's fault...injuries and all that....

Eh I don't know they may want to make his come back a surprise(and if that's the case this may be a way to do it). Yeah they really do look awesome this year.

Here's a crazy, new-fangled idea...
Why not have HHH retain at 'Mania? He then has an unstoppable Heel run as champ for months until...
Rollins vs HHH, Rollins gets the title back and becomes the Austin-Face that Vince desperately wants.

Roman should have never defended the WWE Title in the Rumble to begin with.
Triple H vs. Reigns at the Rumble, Triple H wins the WWE Title. Ambrose wins the Royal Rumble.
Reigns then says how he deserves a rematch and he wants it to be at Wrestlemania. So then it becomes a 3 way dance.
Lesnar vs. the entire Wyatt Family could have taken place at Wrestlemania, and Lesnar could have destroyed all 4 men, since the WWE creative team is doing that anyhow.
Ambrose could win the WWE Title at Wrestlemania, Reigns then comes out the next night on Raw, and shakes Dean's hand, then turns on him, and joins the Authority (what Triple H wanted all along anyhow dating back before Survivor Series).
It's not rocket science Vince, and WWE creative team, it's really easy to change with the ways if the fans aren't connecting with said wrestler.

I am a big Reigns fan, but this is so not how to improve his reactions, this is only gonna hurt him when the inevitable comparison of him and Ambrose comes post-Mania. They really are taking so many wrong steps with Reigns its criminal; remember a year and a half ago when EVERYONE was behind him and wanted him as THE next guy; he's a big brick-crap house, just let him go out there and demolish foes, just let him go out and add elements of Goldberg, Warrior and Batista and for the love of God take off that ing jacket and have him look like a conventional and professional wrestler!!

ing pathetic. Its 30 something days away from WM and the main event babyface is going to miss multiple Raws this close to showtime? WWE really just wont ing accept it. Its baffling. You know what Ambrose is going to do YET AGAIN? Completely outshine Reigns in 2 separate feuds at the same time and Reigns is going to just slither his way back in and win. And WWE doesnt realize that this is the exact bullcrap that hurts and exposes Reigns?

Lol. What are they gonna do when the massive Wrestlemania crowd boo the crap out of him? Seriously, keeping him off RAW to protect him is just pathetic and it shows that they really have no faith in him. Why is he in the main event of Wrestlemania again? Makes 0 damn sense.

I'm with everyone that him not being on TV hurts him and this feud, but to just automatically assume it's because he's not getting the response WWE is looking for is completely made up.

I think we can all agree the situation is strange and unfortunate and really does not build the feud. I do think it's a factor along with his legitimate surgery and selling the beat down he took. He's not getting that Lets go Cena, Cena sucks chants. They have to know the fire storm they would have been sending him into in these two venues and take it into consideration. I desperately want him to get over. He's just in a very tough situation. I'm not an anti reigns guy.

I agree with you 100% but keeping him off TV does not solve the problem, probably makes it worse if anything. Either way, interested to see how this plays out - and not from a story perspective but from a, how the hell is this going to work perspective.

They could keep him off TV until Wrestlemania, it's still not going to help his reaction.

That's how you build your main event for the biggest show of the year.

You guys are overreacting. Remember the time they kept Austin off tv due to all the booing?...
Or Rocky?...
Or Hogan?...
Or Bret?...
This is ridiculous. They are so desperate to push Roman to the top that they are purposly keeping him off tv in famously "smark" cities. They know my hometown of Chicago would rip him a new one. This is worse than Cena who atleast gets mixed crowds. The fans have completely rejected him and they think keeping him off TV and putting him next to Rock at WM will get him over.
And the sad thing is Dean is busting his ass for nothing. He's carrying both his feud and Roman's damn feud. Dean will lose to HHH so Roman can make a triumphant return to a chorus of boos, and then loose to Brock since Roman is the only person who can cleanly pin Lesnar. Then Dean will likely be fed to Roman again before going back to midcard 50/50 booking until they need him for another "B" PPV or when they need Roman to feed off his popularity.
Dean deserves to be in the main event and the world champ. This whole Roman thing is so ridiculous it's not funny anymore.

Taking the guy who is gonna main event Wrestlemania and put him on the shelf for 2 weeks so he can't get hurt while not giving the fans who dislike him the chance to get behind him. Great idea Vince! Honestly at this point I don't see how they're gonna get Roman cheered at WM unless they pipe in fake crowd noise. I honestly hope that when Vince comes out on Raw the night after Mania trash fills the ring like they used to do back in the 90's. Because at this point, that is what this company has become at the hands of Vince. I would pay good money to see the fans chuck their 'Mania chairs in the ring at Vince ECW style

I can see the board meeting right now. They're putting full heat on Triple H instead making us cheer Reigns. They are making that it's easier to create a heel than a face, which is true if you're well read on booking philosophy. But it's not the right kind of booking when you already have a huge face in your deck - Ambrose.
