Let's get a discussion going!
I think the bar was set SO LOW for this PPV that we all expected shit.... so when we got better than shit, it stood out as one of the better mania's in the past years. The ending was amazing. I genuinely cheered when Rollins came out and got the pin. I don't hate Reigns, but I am not a fan of force feeding a guy who still needs some work down our throats. But props to him for taking the bumps he did against Lesnar... Lesnar beat the shit outta him.

Everything on the card delivered and even stuff like the womens tag match was kept to a minimum. Even HHH/Sting was a fun little nostalgic trip but was a great event. I loved the Main Event as well and props to Bray for gutting out the match on apparently a sprained ankle.

Rollins thanked Reigns as he pinned him for the belt.

I hate this term force feeding when it comes to a scripted show. Especially when it looks like they booked Reigns here so that the two biggest guys in the room could demolish each other so that the end game could be achieved - Rollins executing the best cash in imaginable.
As a Bryan guy, it all makes sense now how they booked to that WM-mania moment of Rollins walking out like a thief in the night. They couldn't put Bryan or Cena or Ziggler in that position because it wouldn't have been realistic. Rollins needed these two to destroy each other.
In the end, Reigns needs supreme credit for selling the shit out of that match and serving as a sacrificial lamb. He took the hate from all the fans for not being their guy, and in the end we got a great moment that seemed to be the end goal the entire time. I think Reigns may end up being a mid-card guy but in this instance he did his job very well.

Also, Rollins lost every match for like two whole months, so it is even more reason it was all apart of the long game towards last nights cash in.
I'm not generally a Rollins fan up until this point, but I'm extremely pumped about him over Lesnar every now and then appearances and Orton's weak Authority run last year. Shits gonna get crazy during his title run.

Yeah i think optimally Reigns vs Bryan would be a fantastic matchup in the mid card area.

I think Rollins has a very "Edge" feel to him. I don't know why, but he just does.

i saw someone did a story on the similarities today on Bleacher Report but don't know much about Edge and didn't read the article. Wasn't Edge a face?

Face and heel, mostly heel. But he was great at both
