Isn't it ironic that they "listened" to the fans and gave Shane another night while ignoring the same fans and push Reigns.
Just saying...

Thats because wrestling is scripted...

Shut your dirty whore mouth!

I'll let you in on a secret ... Shane isn't really in control of Raw

Ironic? no.
Allowing Shane to "control RAW" isn't a booking thing. Fans love Shane, WWE lets him walk out on Monday and talk about he's the man now. The show would be exactly the same if he wasn't there.
Reigns winning the belt is a booking decision that has impacts down the rest of the card. It's something they're going to be far less likely to cave on.

Welcome to the Reality Era. They have for a while now pushed the idea (once people didn't buy the idea he was a good fit for being a face right now) that he is THE GUY like it or not. People don't, people do. It generates talk, speculation and interest so it works.

Last week wasn't even ahead socially because of Shane. It's just a storyline out to bring Shane in. It's not that hard. Plus, there are plenty of Reigns' fans on social media.

It's not real.

To be fair I don't like reings with the belt but I don't want him just stripped of it or to lose next ppv. Build a storyline around it or wait for Rollins to come back and want "his" belt back.
As far as Shane getting control, I think Vince is scared of ratings falling his week especially with dr Phil as a guest. Maybe they are trying to keep people watching hoping that Shane will introduce new nxt people etc

They didn't. Most people are complaining that the Shane stuff doesn't make any sense.

What did Shane even do last week? As soon as the opening segment with Vince was done we didn't hear from him again. He didn't announce any matches or "make a few phone calls" to "invite people to the show" or even introduce Cesaro as the 4th man.
I really hope they play up his contributions tonight.

Now you're confusing kayfabe and reality.

I noticed this too, yes. Don't know why people are bashing you.

You're talking about the guy whose 1 of 25 twitter accounts he's following is the wrestler who quit his company 26 months ago and has an open lawsuit against his medical staff. That's how up to speed he is in social media.

It is almost like they have a storyline in place and are sticking to it

Don't you think?

80% of this sub has no idea what you're referencing.
To be fair, I hate the fact that I do.
