Problem with that, is that's Roman's entire character and persona, and here you have a guy who's been champion for nearly 4 straight years now, and your goal is to 'take everything away from him', but then what? He's not just gonna retire. This isn't a Lesnar situation, where he comes in, earns a paycheck and leaves.

What's your goal with Roman after he drops the title? Is he gonna want revenge? Okay, that's a 3 month feud or something, maybe a Summerslam rematch, but then what? Is he gonna start feuding with Judgement Day or something?

They've booked themselves into a corner, because you don't spend a decade pushing someone to the moon and then just stop all of a sudden.

You can do 6 months worth of work, if not more.

Roman loses the belt at WM, with Rock turning on the Bloodline. Have Rock leave to film a movie or something, making fun of Roman. Say something like, "You are the head of the table only because I own the entire building, the land, and lead the Bloodline beyond your understaning!" He works to get it back at Summerslam, loses outright. He blames Rock for losing it at WM in the first place. Meanwhile the Bloodline starts to break apart and you have Roman vs Jimmy vs. Solo at Survivor Series for "leadership of the Bloodline"

At that match I would have Roman just absolutely destroying Solo and Jimmy like physically. Like 20 chair shots to the back for each Jimmy and Solo. Just as Roman is about to stack them for the pin, Jey Uso comes in, beats up Roman, and stacks both Jimmy and Solo on top of Roman and all three "pin" Roman.

Have it end in a no contest or whatever, who cares. The Bloodline crumbles as Jimmy and Solo leave the Bloodline like how Jey did. Roman freaks out and tries to claim that none of them would be anything without him and they are bound by the family to work for him. He claims that the elders are going to force them to work for him and come back... and the first thing they have to do is help him win the Royal Rumble. He hands them each a letter from "The Family" and they are all annoyed but seem to be forced to help Roman win the Royal Rumble.

At the RR, Solo, Jimmy, and Jey are all in early. Let's say 2, 5, and 8. They work together begrudgingly as they are bound by the family to help Roman. At let's say 15, Roman comes in. The Bloodline clears out all the other competitors and then just sit in the 4 corners. Roman laughs and gestures for number 16 to come in.

"IF YOU SMELL!!!!!! WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKIN!!!!" The Rock enters right after Roman. Roman is freaking out, the first time he's been able to be in the ring with Rock since he fucked up everything for him. Roman commands The Bloodline to surround Rock. Rock gets ready to take them all on when he looks at Jimmy, Jey, and Solo and tells them to "Do It".

All three turn on Roman and beat him up, and all three of them lift up Roman and toss him out of the Ring. Rock then steps over the top rope and eliminates himself, going over to Paul Heyman and handing him a letter to give to "Roman Reigns, the would-be Tribal Chief"

This leads into Rock vs Roman for WM41. Rock claiming that Roman forgot that a Chief looks after the family, not using them for his own gain.

Actually with Roman now, it is kind of like that. He's on a part-time schedule and has been for close to 2 years now. It's one of the main reasons he needs to drop the belt.

When he drops the belt, and if he stays a part timer, he no longer has any relevancy.

Don't know why anyone with a successful movie career would waste time in the WWE.
I'm sure getting paid $5 million or so (or whatever he's getting paid to do this) for about 1 month's work, 20-30 hours per week, isn't considered a waste of time, even for movie stars.

Less so, because Brock was a ratings draw, Roman is not.

What really tells all is how minute Roman seems in the ring with The Rock. Goes to show that none of today's stars compare to the stars of the Attitude Era.

Smackdown did better ratings in 2023 than it had for atleast 4 years prior, though, which is a decent argument for saying Roman was a draw.

Ratings is also a dated thing to pick on.

It's not 1997 anymore. Ratings don't mean what they used to. In terms of eyeballs more people worldwide are watching WWE right now than ever before in history. WWE is making more money right now than ever before in history.

Sure if ratings go up that's nice and it they go down that's bad. But it's no longer the case that ratings determine how many people watch a show or how much money the show makes.

If Raw started getting 3s again in the their US ratings, WWE's bottom line would barely change.

This is absolutely not true

1999-2001 WCW was god awful and you've got rose tinted glasses the size of Brazil if you can't see that.

I didn't say it was good. I said it was worse than that and that's a fact. Wrestling died when the WCW folded essentially.

At least since Punk sat down on the ramp and delivered one of his longer kayfabe-breaking speeches. Youtube tells me that was 2011.

So, at least since then, the business and the real have been bleeding over into the scripts and the drama to one degree or another?

*Wrestling is bigger and more successful than ever before in history*
"It died 23 years ago and that's a fact"

No, it's just a factually incorrect opinion from a dude literally defending the last few years of WCW

The guys who made WCW don't even defend the last few years of WCW.
