Only issue is...IF the plan is to have Roman face Rock...will it be for the title.



Not a good idea imo. Especially when we all know it's not gonna be a long term thing.

Plus he got injured the last time and it mucked up his movie scheduling.

Only thing that could explain it is if they put they are trying to seperate both belts. Have the Raw and Smackdown belts on the line on seperate nights.

Maybe that's how they get a belt off of Roman by having him wrestle both nights

roman has never defended the belts separately so why start now?

It can, the only issue I had was wasting a title match for both championships on a match we knew Rock wasn't winning. It's cool if he's only challenging for one and someone else going after the other

2 reasons...

1) it's WM

2) USA and Fox want their own champion

Easy go around, have Heyman put in that the rumble winner can only go after one title as a way to protect Roman

 

[Chi-Town B]

The issue is it makes no sense for Roman to lose and still be a champion after mania

Easy go around, have Heyman put in that the rumble winner can only go after one title like it's been since the split started

rumble winners go after one champion when one man isn’t holding both titles

whenever the titles were united, rumble winners went after both belts (hhh in 02 and batista in 14)

and is heyman the GM? lol shit ain’t up to him

Heyman gonna do the heel thing and protect Roman by assuring that even if by some fluke win Roman will still have a title for the bloodline

weak
when roman loses he needs to drop both belts

I agree with you but if they do go along with Cody on one day and the rock on the other we all know rock isn't winning his match

 

[IP360]

You can have him lose the Raw title, but still keep the SD title. That way you can still have a Rock/Roman match like night 2.

Now as for who would be the one to take the SD title afterwards...thats a toss up.

 

[Chi-Town B]

Now looking back it was just a bad idea to unify the titles to begin with and now they've screwed themselves

but why? lol roman needs to come off both titles when he is finally pinned
once he’s pinned the mystique is gone

 

[Iceberg_Taylor]

He keeps the SD title because The Rock ain’t bout to be anybody’s champ.

Roman can lose the Universal Title at Summerslam to someone who can then be the next star (I would assume this is someone who wins KOR if the report is true HHH is bringing that back)

it was a terrible idea to unify the title but the upside is it gives the potential to build your next 2 cornerstones. One being Cody

 

[Iceberg_Taylor]

Or Roman can lose the Universal title to Seth at some point because that needs to happen. That storyline is still there

 

[IP360]

Roman was SD champion long b4 he claimed the Raw title. So I see him lose the Raw title, but still keeping the SD title. Especially if you tryin to have a Rock/Roman match w/o the titles involved.

That way USA will have their own champion.

 

[Shenco]

With the lack of contenders for each division, unifying the titles was the right idea. The only thing that messed it up was Reigns not wanting to work Mondays which basically left a whole half of the roster with nothing to fight for.

 

[TonyDubbz]

Cody wins one title then Owen's or Sami the other sometime after mania.

Id go with Owen's since he's come close to winning the most only to be screwed.

That way he can eventually turn heel and defend against Sami

 

[Shenco]

Man no. If Reigns gets pinned for the first time in 1000+ days it needs to be for both of those titles. Stop it with that only one title stuff.

 

[already home_17]

some of y’all don’t want roman to ever lose the championship and it shows.
got me co-signing shenco and shit
