The Wrestling Observer Newsletter has more on WWE’s decision to have Sheamus cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase at Survivor Series, beating Roman Reigns in the process. According to the site, Vince McMahon made the decision on the afternoon of the PPV because the company wants to build Reigns up more as a babyface before giving him an actual run at the belt.
The original plans for the show had Reigns winning and giving him a title run is still the long-term plan. However, because Reigns gets booed at tapings, WWE wants to get fans behind him by pitting him against the Authority as they screw him out of title wins, mirroring what happened with Daniel Bryan. The hope is that this will fight the perception among some fans that Reigns is the “corporate” champion that he’s picked up by being the next face of the company.
