>>5151198No, Vince or whoever has a business plan in mind when he decides the champion. It may not always work, but it's based on a plan to make money. Roman is the most viable choice they had for a top guy and to lead to big money programs like thr Cena program which did huge money, although mostly thanks to Cena, and the eventual Rock program which will also do huge money due mostly to Rock, but it wouldn't be nearly as much or get as much long-term attention if it was some midcard workrate guy.
