I legitimately thought that the Show/Reigns feud was over after Reigns victory on Smackdown and then I heard Show's music and I just completely tuned out, that one match, no matter what the outcome was, ruined RAW for me and the fact that Show actually won in the stupidest way possible just makes it even worse.

You've over-thought this a tad.
Yeah, it's probably just bad booking. lol
I don't want to always criticize, so I just see what reason they might want to do this. Doesn't necessarily mean I'll like it.

I don't see how they can win with your ilk of fans. Roman wins, people fuckin' whine. Roman loses, people fuckin' whine.

Well, as HHH said, you can't please everyone. But I'd rather they please me since I'm a minority.

Terrible booking decision. Reigns is booked to be this powerful warrior who's gonna "beat the 1 in 21-1", so why decide to job him out (dirty or not) only a couple of months before that's set to happen? You keep him undefeated in singles competition all this time and think NOW is the time to have him lose?

Thankfully it was just a random match on Raw so they can easily sweep this loss under the rug, but still. Little things like this annoy me.
Didn't John Cena lose the U.S title a month before defeating JBL at WM 21 for the WWE championship?
This sounds like a redemption story of he same ilk to me.

Not only a month before, but to Orlando Jordan. If you can bounce back from that, you can bounce back from almost anything.

So what. Cena had already taken losses before, even clean ones, before losing dirty to Orlando, whereas Reigns has been undefeated in singles competition up until now. Not to mention him holding the record number of eliminations at Survivor Series and the Royal Rumble. Besides, Cena was going after a cowardly heel champion like JBL, Reigns is going after the most dominant competitor in WWE history, Brock Lesnar, just one year after Lesnar conquered the Undertaker's previously-thought-to-be-unconquerable Streak.

I'm not saying the loss in any way 'damaged' Reigns; that's why I mentioned that it's a good thing they can easily sweep it under the rug and forget about it. It's just annoying booking.

Taking a loss because some heels were heelin' isn't this ginormous momentum killer lol. Simmer down, gents. The Roman Empire is taking over and annexing WrestleMania as one of it's nation states.

Also is everyone forgetting that spear at the end? Reminded me of when Goldberg would go to spear big guys and just resort to doing a shoot spear since they wouldn't take a flat back bump for it.
