I Don't Get The Logic...

Roman Reigns will compete for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at the next pay-per-view (special event, whatever) in a Fatal Four Way with Randy Orton, Kane and champ John Cena. I don't get it. Why does he have this opportunity?

Was it purely for the pop that it got when Triple H announced it?

It's been a few days since and it still doesn't sit well with me. I even caught the Triple H weekly interview with Michael Cole this morning and his explanation is that it was 'best for business' and all that. He also pointed out: "did you hear the reactions from the WWE Universe for Roman Reigns?". Since when did reactions matter to The Authority? Daniel Bryan got huge reactions for months and months but was never GIVEN title matches against their guy (Orton).

Now, granted, John Cena isn't their guy and they've made that clear, but putting the guy you hate the most (Reigns) in the match doesn't make sense at all. Surely if you want to stack the deck against Cena then the 'hard way' would be Randy Orton, Kane and Seth Rollins, y'know, the other guy that you have in your back pocket. As it stands he doesn't have a match at Battleground (yes, he'll probably be against Ambrose, but as of THAT moment, he didn't have an opponent).
Roman Reigns
If there was a further reason to add to why Reigns shouldn't be in the match, then it's that he is directly feuding with HHH. Bryan was against all of them and the title was the ultimate goal. Reigns has held the belts up etc etc, but his main beef seems to be with HHH (don't let it fool you that Orton is there; they have to give him something to do). That's probably the biggest reason NOT to put him in the match; he is defying YOU.

I regularly read a column by Brandon Stroud (The Best and Worst of Raw - Uproxx.com) and he made the best point of all: Seth Rollins turned on his Shield brothers to 'evolve' and get opportunities; he now has possession of the MITB briefcase, fair enough. But, at the same time, Ambrose had that SAME opportunity and now Roman Reigns will have had TWO title matches on consecutive pay-per-views... who's getting the best deal there??

Was this match made the way it was simply because you have to have two babyfaces and two heels in these types of matches?
