Well Old School RAW was a pretty good show, I had my complaints,very few I might add. However, the Main Event was what I was most anticipating since it was announced for last night's show. The chance to see Roman Reigns in singles action. Needless to say, it was a great Main Event with a great ending, especially the fact that Reigns picked up the win which will do wonders for his push going forward. The loss won't hurt Punk either and made the result a sort of win-win going forward. The Piper's pit was used brilliantly for the Shield's break-up whilst giving Ambrose a rub in promos with one of the greatest mic workers ever in the company.
Now to Reigns;
As a huge fan since I saw him, I have to say he did well in a singles match considering it wasn't a short match either. Didn't go the distance of the possible matches he will have if/when he makes it to the Main Event. I think he needs to have a couple more moves in his arsenal, maybe even showcase his athleticism a bit more during the matches.
Indeed, he is being portrayed as an Animal, and more and more after hearing Batista is having a possible 1/2 year final run, Roman Reigns is suited to taking over the role Batista held from 2005 till he left. It would be perfect if Batista's final act in his upcoming run is putting over Roman Reigns as the new Face or at least elevate him to the higher echelons of the WWE. It also would allow Reigns to grow slowly as a Singles competitor and allow him to feel his way into the Main Event. Yes, he is a Powerhouse competitor, but his build can allow him to be much more complete in the ring if developed properly. At times last night, he seemed a bit winded and lumbering, and whilst all was forgotten in the end due to the great near-falls action, it is something hopefully the WWE look for him to work on.
I must say to conclude; If yesterday was any indication, 2014 might just shape up to be the Year of Roman Reigns. I am looking forward to it and hopefully, him nor Daniel Bryan will be messed up, rather built properly and we can have the Main Event of Wrestlemania 31 - - - Daniel Bryan vs Roman Reigns -->>> WWE World Heavyweight Championship!
