They rushed the predictable Sami turn. Also Reigns was right, he did treat him better than Owens ever did. That should have been his sticking point from day 1 instead of when the conflict in Zayn's mind reached the tipping point. Either way it doesn't make sense because kayfabe wise we have never seen Owens look out for Zayn in any regard that makes this turn believable or make sense. Reigns wasn't even manipulating or doubting Sami until Owens started to gaslight him.

Yeah, I don't think they stuck the landing on this one. Sami was going to be insanely over no matter when the inevitable split with Roman came along so there was no need to rush it. Credibility wise Zayn hasn't done much during his time in the Bloodline. He isn't much more of a winner than before. He should have been allowed to build more than sympathy that goes nowhere when this story with Roman is done.

I mean, it got the pop they wanted so what do I know.

I see them making the match a triple threat at Mania with two falls, one for each belt. It's gives WWE a chance to split up the titles without Roman having to eat a pinfall while still keeping Roman's consecutive days streak as champion alive.
I think its time for Roman to take a pinfall. 2.5 years is more than enough. If a triple threat option existed, I'd want to see Roman pinned twice. There's no reason to protect him at Mania. That's when he should be putting over.

I'd rather see the challenger beat Roman clean at Mania, then Triple H comes out on Raw and split the titles.

Breh stop it. You literally have everyone calling this arguably the greatest storyline in wrestling history, and you're talking about they didn't stick the landing.:gucci:

Mankind wasn’t more over than Austin


Sami is more over than Cody
This storyline got sami over lol
Just like the corporation storyline got mankind over

I think he should cost Roman at WM just like mankind did the rock at WM 15
