I dont think this changes their plan to give the strap to Reigns, but the issue becomes what heel to put him against. There isnt a lot to choose from since Owens has the IC title and Wyatt just came out of that fight and is focused on Taker atm. Roman having the strap is already an uphill battle & without a solid heel to go against this thing may crash and burn.
Seth was doing a good job at the top & with Cena, Bryan and Orton out his injury hurts WWE a bit. Not sure if Reigns is ready to handle being the top guy, but throwing yourself in the fire may be the thing he needs. He either shines like Vince hopes or it fails and we go back to the drawing board & maybe give Cesaro the chance he deserves.
Either way this goes, Vince is gonna have to figure out who gets a bigger push and how to deal with this without completely tanking the ratings or just using Big Show again like a big dumb band-aid.
