Clash of Champions 2020 is done and dusted and Roman Reigns has given the performance of his life. The WWE Universe got to witness a Roman Reigns that they always knew existed but was behind the curtains of an underwhelming character.
If one looks at the Clash of Champions match card, this was the most predictable match. However, this is the match that delivered beyond everyone’s expectations.
It had all the ingredients of a blockbuster. History, emotion, legacy, wonderful storytelling, you name it, and it had it all.

Given the recent history of Roman Reigns, we expected this match to be a 10-second squash. Surprisingly, that wasn’t the case even though the match was one-sided.

The match ended in a complete beat down with Jey Uso losing his consciousness. His brother Jimmy Uso walked down to ringside with a white towel in hand.

At first, he didn’t throw it in, but after continuous beatdowns, Jimmy couldn’t see his brother going through that and urged the referee to stop the match. This signal declared Roman Reigns as the winner.

Man. Roman will go get a Hollywood franchise. 100%. But @WWE has him in a sweet spot right now.

I think if Roman Reigns had been booked this way back in 2015, WWE would have already lost him to Hollywood.
