Wrestling Wrap Up: Dean Ambrose Gets a World Title Shot
So...how do you solve a problem like Roman Reigns? (to be sung aloud, full-blown Sound of Music mode)
Well, considering the "bumpy road" everyone anticipates him having heading into WrestleMania - meaning, a string of heel friendly RAW arenas - I suppose you could just take him off TV altogether. Triple H was massively appreciated by the crowd last week for annihilating Reigns. He was over. They wanted Roman obliterated. They cheered and roared for his (fake) blood. Did WWE think it'd get heat on Hunter? I'm not sure. I'd hope they wouldn't be that obtuse.

To that end extensive tests are being conducted now to gauge the capability of directed-energy weapons. When a House subcommittee asked how close those tests were to bearing fruit Miller replied "very close." Specifically, sometime in the year 2023.
