Roman Reigns is set to do battle with Bray Wyatt at WWE Battleground this coming July 19, and there is no doubt that he holds a clear advantage as far as power is concerned.
But Wyatt has somehow negated that advantage with his mind games, a recourse he has been known to do when he goes up against any opponent in the WWE.
Is Reigns bothered by it? The video interview between Reigns and Michael Cole seem to indicates that Wyatt's mind game is indeed affecting the rising star, who admits being puzzled by it.
Wyatt had cost Reigns the Money in the Bank briefcase when he interfered just as Reigns was about to claim it. The apparent reason for Wyatt getting involved had something to do with their previous meeting at a WWE Show.
At that time, Reigns was placed in a gauntlet match, and Wyatt was his last opponent. According to Wyatt, Reigns deprived him of the chance to be a participant in the WWE MOTB match, and for that he wanted payback.
In reality, however, everyone knows that this feud was made up to keep Reigns busy and gain the time needed for Wyatt to make needed improvements. Wyatt is seen as the perfect heel for a face wrestler like Reigns.
There is no question that Reigns is lined up for a WWE shot and become its future face. But the question is when he will get that opportunity.
There are rumors that it could all end at WWE Battleground, with a rematch against Brock Lesnar in the works for WWE SummerSlam. But the latest rant is that it would be best for Reigns to continue his feud with Wyatt for the sake of improving his low points, one of which is handling behind the microphone.
Will Reigns dominate and win over Wyatt or will the mind game prevail and stall Reigns from stepping forward?
WWE Battleground will take place at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Missouri on July 19 and will be aired live on the WWE Network.
