Reigns wins WWE Title

Republished from Independent

On the heels of a TLC pay-per-view in which Roman Reigns snapped and crossed the line by attacking COO Triple H with a steel chair before putting him through a table and finishing him off with a massive spear, World Wrestling Entertainment hit the USA Network, live from Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia,writes Eric Beaston for Bleacher Report.

How would The Authority address Reigns, and what sanctions or repercussions would the juggernaut have to face as he arrived in the City of Brotherly Love for Monday's broadcast.

Speaking of brotherly love, Reigns' closest friend Dean Ambrose captured the Intercontinental Championship at TLC, beating Kevin Owens to earn his first run with the title he has chased since January. What, or, more importantly, who, awaited him as 2015 comes to a close? And what did Owens have in store for The Lunatic Fringe just 24 hours after his reign came to a crushing conclusion?

Paige, Charlotte and Becky Lynch will be under the same roof for the first time since the Divas champion cheated her way to successfully retaining her title at TLC. What would The Anti-Diva Paige and Charlotte's best friend Lynch have to say about the second-generation Diva's recent attitude change?

And then there's The Wyatt Family, fresh off a clean pay-per-view victory. Who would be the unfortunate focus of their attention Monday night?

Stephanie McMahon Confronts Roman Reigns

Stephanie McMahon kicked off the show and was understandably irate following the events of TLC.

She wasted little time calling Roman Reigns to the ring and berating him for his actions Sunday night. She referred to him as a disgrace, to which Reigns responded by calling The Authority the real disgrace.

This earned Reigns two slaps to the face and the Billion Dollar Princess' announcement that her father, Vince McMahon, will be in the arena later Monday night.
