This week’s RAW was all about trying to get Roman Reigns over as “the guy,†but by the end of it all, in spite of everything Reigns was able to accomplish, it was apparent that the return of Brock Lesnar and Kalisto’s US Title win were the real reason to tune in.
It’s not a knock against Reigns, but at this point, it’s even more apparent that he’s in over his head.
