Oh, don't get me wrong ... I was defending that specific statement HHH made, not everything. Reigns absolutely wasn't ready for the World Belt; they really needed to adapt the plan when he was injured and didn't get to feud with Rollins. They recovered nicely, but yeah, Roman should have had a nice secondary title run.

On another Reigns note, I really like the pairing with Wyatt. I think that feud can really launch both guys to the next level. It's an ideal "good vs. evil" rivalry that could go for ages.

Lack of long-term planning can be an issue and can hurt quality. At the same time, fans crapped all over the obvious plan of "Reigns over Lesnar" at WM 31, and they had to adapt to that.
Everybody with a keyboard knew that the fans were going to crap on Reigns given the booking. So sure, when you are very out of touch, it can help.
