[@DrPonce09]

Wrestlemania 39 would've been the better event for this. 1. Roman was calling out the Elders to "certify" him as Tribal Chief. 2. Roman was proclaiming to be the Head of the Table after beating both Usos and telling them he's the one that has to pay for the whole tribe etc. 3. He was abusing the rest of the Bloodline. Bullying them. Manipulating them. When Roman kept calling himself the Tribal Chief, GodMode, etc, that's when the Rock should've called him out. This here, storywise, is plain stupid. So, for months, Roman has not said anything about being the provider, best in the whole family, etc, and suddenly, the Rock, without provocation, calls out Roman? Lame. A match between the two will most definitely be one for the ages, but if the build-up was because of Day 1, that's stupid. You can't say this feud "started" months ago, because there was no interaction between the 2. The Rock was at Smackdown weeks ago, and was there a stare off or at least a conversation between the 2? Nope. Wasted opportunity. Still, great match if it happens, but wasted build-up.
