This annoyed me.
This angle is actually one of the better ones WWE has done in a while, sadly. The Bullet Club guys attacked Reigns and Styles claims to have nothing to do with it. But Reigns doesn't know if he should believe Styles because he's tight with those guys and he has everything to gain from them taking out Reigns, while Anderson/Gallows have nothing to gain themselves.
It's a simple story. It provides a little intrigue. It's a good way to generate heat between two feuding babyfaces. This is actually a really good idea for a feud. Two thumbs up for the concept.
The execution was so bad though. I'm pretty sure that clip I posted above is literally the next segment after Reigns got attacked. He's perfectly fine. Even booking this segment here was a lousy idea, but Reigns makes things even worse by doing nothing to sell the beatdown that happened just five minutes ago.
Why the fuck do they do this stuff? In trying to make Reigns look strong, they've just made the Bullet Club look weak and they've hurt their story. It's so counter-productive. Why would Reigns now care that he got jumped? Why would that make him mad at Styles? It didn't have any effect on him. Styles might as well have recruited his two buddies to jump out at Roman and yell 'Boo'.
If they had destroyed Reigns and sent him to the hospital, and Styles cut a backstage interview afterwards saying he had nothing to do with the attack, and then they built to a confrontation between Styles and Reigns on Smackdown or next week's Raw, this could have been a great angle. And they haven't had a great angle in a while.
But no. Roman has to look strong at the expense of everything else. So fucking dumb.
