Bengaluru, February 10: Sometimes WWE gets into a tricky situation after creating a strong star and forget to build simultaneous powers to counter-attack him. Brock Lesnar used to be that problem as he was so overly protected that sometimes the creative team couldn’t find a suitable opponent for him.
In Brock Lesnar's absence, Roman Reigns captured that spot by acting as the new Paul Heyman Guy and hasn’t digested a clean pinfall loss for more than a year.
Meanwhile, WWE forgot to elevate new stars on Smackdown as they don’t have the roster depth needed to do so. This is the reason why they might be forced to continue a feud that many thought ended at the Royal Rumble 2021. But in reality, it hasn't ended. So it seems The Prizefighter of the blue brand roster will get one more title shot in two weeks time.
During Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer discussed about the current main-event situation in the WWE and he revealed the reason why WWE has carried on with Kevin Owens’ feud with Roman Reigns. The reason is simple because they have nobody else to feud with the Tribal Chief.
Big E could’ve been an option but he’s been stuck in the mid-card title feud, while the current potential talent like Cesaro or Shinsuke Nakamura aren’t just credible enogh to feature in a title match against Roman Reigns.
“The idea is that they’re trying to elevate someone — they gotta! They have Big E, but Big E is in the IC Title thing and I don’t think he’ll be wrestling Reigns any time soon. Yeah, it’s been bad ever since Reigns came back.
"They didn’t really even push Owens. They just threw Owens in that spot because they had nobody else and then they kept him in that spot because they got nobody else. They got nobody else unless they pull the trigger on Edge,” stated Meltzer on WOR. (Transcription by Ringside News)
