WWE Money in the Bank 2019: 3 potential reasons why Roman Reigns squashed Elias
The 2019 edition of Money in the Bank PPV is done and dusted. Most of the WWE fans are still talking about the exceptional main event and WWE's horrendous decision to give the Money in the Bank Briefcase to Brock Lesnar.
Some other fans were talking about Bayley's successful cash-in on Charlotte Flair to win the SD Live Women's Championship. By this, Bayley became the first ever women's Triple Crown Champion in WWE. Bayley has already won the RAW Women's title and WWE Women's tag team titles (with Sasha Banks).
However, one match many fans missed was the one between Elias and Roman Reigns. To be honest, no one can blame the fans for missing it since the clash finished in less than ten seconds. Reigns squashed Elias after hitting him with a spear for the three-count.
In this list, we will take a look at a few reasons why Roman Reigns squashed Elias.
#3 To assert Roman Reigns as a top face
If a convincing win against Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 35 was not an indicator of Roman Reigns' status on the WWE food chain, Reigns' seven-second win over Elias would definitely assert it. Roman Reigns is still one of the WWE's most protected stars and WWE does not any second thoughts on pushing him incessantly.
Elias had no credibility whatsoever while facing Reigns and thus, what we saw at Money in the Bank was the obvious result. The top babyface shattered the mid-carder heel.
Even though Seth Rollins is trying to establish himself as the WWE's face on RAW, the fact is that Roman Reigns is still and will remain as WWE's face for a long time to come.
