I don't understand what exactly is Roman getting from these matches anymore. He's burying everyone, yet his status isn't elevated because he had already reached the top top. There's nowhere else to go from where he is. Why does he refuses to job? I hate Sami as much as anyone but from a storyline perspective, this was the perfect opportunity to give Roman a defeat. Nothing was at stake and Sami had everything to win by elevating his reign to the top.So again, what was the purpose of Roman's victory if he was gonna lift Sami's hand at the end anyways? Wouldn't have made more sense that Sami wins and Roman raises his hand to elevate Sami's victory?
>>21459887What was the purpose of all of Hogan's and Super Cena's victories? That's the way wwe books their "main guys".
urusai desu ne
>>21459887He is the final boss of the PLEs and puts asses in seats. The longer he stays undefeated, the bigger the pop when he is finally pinned. It’s not that complicated.
>>21459887The point is for Oba Femi to beat him obviously
>>21459887Because nothing was at stake beating Roman here would have meant nothing and done nothing, Sami also isn't some fresh faced rising star, he's been in the company for over 10 years and is older than Roman.A win that actually means something like taking the title of Roman actually elevates someone, not an exhibition match for the Saudis.
If you book Sami to beat Roman (especially clean), then you’re basically committing to keep Sami at the top of the card as the champ for awhile. (Since it’d be even dumber to have Sami beat Roman only for him to lose his belt to someone in another few weeks/months.)I honestly don’t think they want to do that, and I don’t blame them. This 2026 Sami push has been fun, but it’s time to end. Now that the Saudi shows are over for awhile, Sami as champ ain’t drawing any dimes. Nobody wants Sami to still have the belt after the Royal Rumble. Now that he’s lost to Roman, you can easily put the belt on someone else whenever you want. I think Sami is better served moving onto other stuff anyway. Let him turn face again with KO and screw with Punk. Or have him join the 946 to keep him heel and keep fucking with Roman. Or whatever. Roman going over tonight was the right move.
>>21459887Paul can't book. plain and simple
>>21459887I think roman is still shoot insecure about his legacy in the business
>>21459924>The longer he stays undefeated, the bigger the pop when he is finally pinnedThis was proven wrong with Cody. The pop wasn't particularly loud when he won the title. In fact, no one remembers anything from that match except when Rock interfered and beat Cena before getting beaten by Carder.
>>21459929Beating Roman is already big enough. Not everything has to be about belts or generic gadgets. Also, like I said, if Sami was gonna stand tall at the end anyways, then why not give him that victory? What did Roman gain from beating Sami?
>>21460031Roman gained a continued, dominant, unbeaten run that will come in handy when it’s finally time for Oba to beat him. Do you really not understand this?Besides, no one who has lost to Roman this year is worse off for it. Losing to Roman in a PLE main event doesn’t bury you. It helps you. Or, at worst, keeps you where you were only now with more street cred.
>>21459924>and puts asses in seatsLMAO
>>21459887It's just more shitty astroturfing and nepotism. That's all Roman's career has been from the start. You can't claim Roman is a draw when he's been a part timer for a decade and only wrestles a handful of times a year.
>>21459924AIn't nobody watching this crap anymore nigga
>>21459887It is really simple.>sami has the hot potato title>lost more recently than roman>saudis want these stupid champ v champ matches
>>21459887Roman isn't losing until he does the job to put Oba Femi over at WrestleMania.
>sami’s whole story is proving himself because he wants to be respected>romanwinslol>roman points at sami and cole screams that sami has achieved his goalpaul can’t book
>>21459887>I don't understand what exactly is Roman getting from these matches anymore.Agreed. This felt very Cena-esque in that eventually there's going to come a time when Roman won't be around anymore (beyond all of the times that are his choice) and they're going to have mistakenly missed the moment to elevate a shit ton of other guys that they'll wish they would have. I get Sami isn't a young future star by any means but he's broken through into the world title scene. Have 946 interfere and let Sami get that win. Now he's got something on an entirely different show to brag about for ages compared to this just being another day at the office for Roman
>>21461059I'm betting on a rematch at SaudiMania where Sami wins.
>>21459887This ending where Roman finally shows Sami respect made him a face. That fucks up all they've been doing with building up having Penta, Punk, Trick, JeVon and everyone else saying Sami isn't that great. Now you have two babyface champs and a face MitB holder. So Penta is going to be standing with the briefcase in one hand and his dick in the other waiting for a heel to come along to take one of the titles before the MitB contract runs out next October.
>>21460075DUMMY, YEAH!
>>21461088Penta is doing the honorable cash in and losing, I can feel it. Probably at EC. Roman needs to be face for the 946 feud but he can go back tweener afterwards.
>>21459887it's not about roman. it's about who roman eventually puts over. which is gonna be oba. sami probably should have won here though.
>>21459887Stop crying bitch LMAO
>>21460022You are retarded
>>21459887Wait, I thought you AEWTISTS told me this show was going to get attacked. What happened lil tranny bros?
>>21460022Cute revisionism, retard. The crowd went wild when the “Roman wins lol” streak was finally ended. The only time ending streaks didn’t work out was when Brock ended Taker’s streak
>>21459895selling tshirts. WWE is just a glorified tshirt selling sweat shop
