And keep in mind Roman has
- already switched to part time due to wanting to spend more time with his children and wife
- relatively recently his cancer came back while he beat it again it's only a matter of time before Reigns-Keemia III (this is probably the main reasoning behind wanting to spend as much time at home as possible, he knows it'll come back and even if he beats it a third time, it'll come back a fourth time even sooner etc etc, and basically he won't live into old age, he will die early)
- he has already earned more than enough money to secure his children's futures. at this point it's just extra, very welcome extra, and A LOT of extra, but extra
- this run is his 'masterpiece', the best and definitive arc of his career after 6 wasted years of garbage thanks to vince's boomer booking. You can tell this arc is him making up for those lost years. Once he loses the title, even if he wins it back a short while later, it won't be the same, it won't be as 'epic'. So he probably won't even bother winning it again, hence why this reign is so long. This is it, it's now or never. Once he loses the belts, the 'magic', the 'lustre' will be lost too never to return. Hell, he might not even come back at all, once he loses the belts, that's it, boom, retired. What would be the point? So this is it, everything he ever wants to do in wrestling has to be in this run. Once he loses it, that's probably it.
So ^ with the enormity of the moment in mind, who's it gonna be?
>Drew
>Riddle
>Theory
>Cody
>...Seth, eventually?
I'm leaning against Drew and Seth desu, the enormity of the change of guard is so huge, it feels like it should go to a new young talent, a 'virgin' talent (someone who's never been champ (world champ) before). Cody might have made a deal with Vince to be the one to do it, but Vince is gone, and Gaytch is in charge. "YA SE CODY, PLANS CHANGE-UH"
So I'm thinking either Riddle or Theory. It has to be one for the future, a Cena or Batista, essentially.
