-- While he adds that this isn't a guarantee, he notes that the Super Show-Down's "objective" is to expand the company's brand internationally and Roman Reigns is a significant part of that strategy and has been for the last four years. The suggestion is that WWE will want to put an exclamation point on this by having Reigns score the pinfall victory for his team (likely over Dolph Ziggler) to send the fans home happy and if he does, it will further support the notion that Vince McMahon is still firmly behind Reigns as the face of the company.
Not surprising, but getting extremely irritating and I believe a contributing factor to declining numbers. Look, Vince gave us the WWE. We can't deny what that man has done for pro wrestling in the world. But he's lost his mind. You have a stable of the most talented, most athletic wrestlers you've ever had and you waste it on this guy. So much superb talent being buried for this mid carder. It really makes me want Triple H to keep NXT under its own banner and not "promote" any more wrestlers. As long as Vince is around, all talent will be buried under Reigns. I mean... AJ Styles is mid card of the PPVs because of this joke.
