Speaking on Notsam Wrestling, Sam Roberts delved into Roman Reigns’ psychological state regarding betrayals throughout his WWE career. The analyst examined the pattern of betrayals from his Shield days to recent events.
Roman Reigns, you have to understand Roman Reigns is a victim of absolute trauma. Everywhere Roman Reigns goes, he gets betrayed. Roman Reigns built The Shield with his brothers Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins and what did Seth do? He turned on Roman Reigns. He destroyed this thing. His brother Seth Rollins. Roman Reigns creates The Bloodline, welcomes Sami Zayn into his own family, and what does Sami Zayn do? He turns on Roman Reigns. Roman Reigns brought CM Punk in. He was uncomfortable with it because he had been betrayed so much but he allowed it to happen.
The podcast host highlighted how Reigns’ history with betrayal manifested during the Men’s Royal Rumble match during an interaction with CM Punk.
CM Punk then gets eliminated by Logan Paul and when they’re on the floor, Roman Reigns can’t believe what’s happened almost in a childlike fashion stares at CM Punk and says, ‘How could you do that? We just teamed a month ago.’ And right there before he gets Stomped by Seth Rollins, you realize that Roman Reigns has been betrayed again. And CM Punk betraying Roman Reigns, not only elimnated him from the Rumble, but left him vulnerable to that double stomp from Seth Rollins.
