Reigns vs Lesnar Hot Take

By Scott Keith on 5 July 2019

I just revisited their SummerSlam match and, questionable booking aside, Lesnar/Reigns is arguably the best WWE feud of the past few years. No other feud has had such a consistent "Big Fight Feel"; no matter how hostile the crowd is at the start of a given match, they are caught up in the drama by the end (with the Saudi crowd probably being an exception, although I don't remember that match especially well); the matches are invariably hard-hitting and intense.

If I'm wrong, what WWE feud in the past two or three years has topped it?
Vince McMahon v. His Fanbase.
Regardless, the matches for the Reigns/Lesnar feud were never the problem.  The problem was that no one wanted to see that match after a certain point, and they wrecked most of the roster to get there.  And then Vince changed his mind and decided not to put Roman over.
