Is it true that Roman Reigns has been getting some backstage powers from his two biggest supporters Vince McMahon and Kevin Dunn much like John Cena did? Rumor has it is that Reigns wanted to lose the United States Championship to Chris Jericho on RAW a few months ago while Cena was responsible for ending The Nexus' push at the 2010 SummerSlam PPV.

Every top guy in company history has had McMahon's ear to some extent. Roman has made it clear that he's comfortable speaking to Vince now, and that likely involves vetoing some of his ideas or being trusted enough to make suggestions of his own. I very much doubt Roman has pull akin to Cena's quite yet, though, nor do I necessarily think that Roman has displayed the wrestling acumen to be trusted with high level creative direction.
Chris Jericho, on the other hand, is a trusted voice in the locker room and usually has the ability to see the forest for the trees. If some veto was made as to the direction of that match, leading to Jericho going over, I would imagine is probably had something to do with Jericho, who may have supplied Roman with the idea, who in turn used his position on the card to add gravitas to Jericho's point.

If he's a top guy I'd hope he has some pull backstage. He should contribute some things and give his opinions on things.

Everyone from Austin to Zybsko has used backstage politics at some point. It's part of the business.
That being said, I have no idea what you're implying. So Reigns has backstage power but yet he wanted to use it to lose the US title? And what does that have to do with Cena & The Nexus? It feels like a bunch of random words thrown together.

Glad someone else noticed it. What a horrible thing for Roman to want to do by putting Jericho over? Damn those politics! |

Every single performer who has been a name and over has used politics.
It will never change.

I wonder if Roman booked himself to be number 30 in the Rumble just to piss off the fans?
Having said that one of the biggest issues with todays era is that the stars have no character protection. If guys like Wyatt and Ambrose had backstage politics then maybe they wouldn't look as bad coming out of feuds.

True he could've also added that Austin was responsible for ending Jeff Jarrett's push in 1999. |

Yes on both accounts. Roman shoot changed the finish of a match I bet. You can tell at Wrestlemania with HHH he booked the change on the fly and pinned HHH for real. That's why the ending came out of nowhere and the match was so slow. HHH was trying to convince Reigns with nonverbal cues to reconsider and go with the original finish

So Reigns has backstage power but yet he wanted to use it to lose the US title? And what does that have to do with Cena & The Nexus? It feels like a bunch of random words thrown together. This: Source: WrestleZoneWWE Hall of Famer Edge joined Chris Jericho for round two of "Talk is Jericho" this week, and an interesting discussion broke out about John Cena putting himself over Wade Barrett at a past SummerSlam pay-per-view. Chris Jericho: "It was Team WWE vs. Team Nexus, and the finish boiled down to [Edge] and [Jericho] in there, but it was Cena against a couple of them. John wanted to do things a certain way and we told him 'you're wrong'. He did it anyways, and it sucked. And then after he came over to us and said 'I should have listened to you, but I wasn't seeing it that way.'" Edge: "I remember. I was like, fine I'm out of the match by that point." Chris Jericho: "He wanted to get DDT'd on the floor by Barrett, then kick out and beat them both. And you and I were like, that's the dumbest thing. That's just throwing it away for no reason." Edge: "They should have gone over because they were so hot." Chris Jericho: "We were fighting for Barrett to go over. And where's Wade Barrett now?" |

What does that have to do at the topic you were trying to discuss? It has nothing to do with reigns...... When... Oh when... Will they make gimmick accounts part of trolling? |
