1) Roman Reigns Made His Announcement
This weeks episode of Monday Night RAW was kicked off with Roman Reigns. The show kicked off with his big Summerslam announcement that WWE has been hyping up for the past week.
Reigns says that at Summerslam, he is the number one contender for the Universal Championship because it is his yard and he makes the rules.

A lot of theories were squashed. Reigns won’t be facing Goldberg or anyone else, he will be back in the title hunt and be facing either Brock Lesnar or Samoa Joe.
2) Reigns Cut A Heel Promo
The opening segment saw Reigns cut a very heel(ish) promo. He told the entire roster that he was better than them and that WWE was his yard. He also told the world that he makes the rules around here and made himself the next number one contender.
Reigns’ character has the weird dynamic that he doesn’t really need to officially turn heel because he is already acting like one. Can anyone argue against that being a heel promo on RAW this week?
That seemed like a 100% heel promo from Reigns and you know what, that arrogant, sarcastic, entitled shit fits him like a glove. #raw

Although, are WWE creative starting to push Reigns as a heel? This is a good heel promo #RAW

Roman reigns is the most heeliest heel without actually needing to be a heel #raw #summerslam
