They've been teasing him being a main eventer since 17.You know you're fighting reality if you trying to somehow pretend Jeff wasn't going to end up working with Roman

Jeff left WWE at the height of his fukking career in 2009 to go to the rival company. Nuff said
True... He planned on leaving after winning the world title. I wonder if, if he did stay, he wouldn't get caught up with the drugs again and get busted a month after leaving
Aside from being in a 6 man tag with Drew and Xavier Woods against Roman and The Usos what exactly was foreshadowing a Jeff program with Roman?
Because on the actual televised shows Xavier was more involved with The Bloodline than Jeff who hadn't had any interaction with them on Smackdown at all.
He was tagging with Drew against Corbin and Madcap Moss for the majority of his last two months in WWE.
The closest he got to Roman was being eliminated by Sami Zayn in that Black Friday #1 Contender Battle Royal. If ever there was going to be a program between Jeff and Roman that was the time to do it because all Sami winning did was end up being some short term comedy shyt.
So the "Jeff threw away a main event program with Roman Reigns" stuff isn't based in anything that we were seeing from WWE programming.

You think WWE needs foreshadowing to throw someone at Roman?
They usually tend to do things out of the blue so it's very possible.
Which makes all this talk about how Jeff was up next and blew it by leaving come off as kinda dumb.You think WWE needs foreshadowing to throw someone at Roman?

I think there even was a thread on here discussing who would roman's next feud where Jeff's name was brought up a lot because there weren't very many other options.

It's WWE they tossed Cesaro in a "feud" with Roman for a one time thing. Having Hardy face him was not out of the question.

This discussion is silly 
Cuz in a way, all of y’all are right.
ok E guys y’all got it, of course he was gonna face Roman.
But the reality of it is he probably wasn’t gonna face Roman for atleast another 3-4 years
It always be some “a broken clock is right twice a day” shyt with yall

Smooth sailing from here on out...
I mean it wasn't happening until after Mania anyway since the Brock stuff was always happening there. Sami winning that battle royal was just to kill a few weeks & give Brock a heel to mess with since they were doing another Brock vs Roman match at Day 1 until Roman got the rona & everything changed.
Wouldn't have made sense to give Jeff the battle royal as just a throwaway thing when you could get way more out of Jeff vs Roman (probably at SummerSlam) after you're past Brock

A month hadn't even passed when he got arrested, it was like two weeks later. From what I remember, they were already investigating Jeff prior to him leaving. Imagine if he got arrested while he was Champion and still feuding with PunkTrue... He planned on leaving after winning the world title. I wonder if, if he did stay, he wouldn't get caught up with the drugs again and get busted a month after leaving

See this is what we’re talking bout when we say even though WWE has major issues it does what it does very well
Edge speared him off a ladder 20 years ago and we’re still talking about it to this day. Happens every ladder match in AEW.
Taker did the dive to the outside on HBK 10 years ago and its in every video package for Wrestlemania. Happens every match in AEW. They’re making primetime wrestling disposable and it really undermines the sacrifice of the performer. If Jeff had done a spot like that in WWE it would have been at a major event and it would be honored for the next 10 years.
