– The Wrestling Observer Newsletter has more on WWE’s decision to have Sheamus cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase at Survivor Series, beating Roman Reigns in the process. According to the site, Vince McMahon made the decision on the afternoon of the PPV because the company wants to build Reigns up more as a babyface before giving him an actual run at the belt.
The original plans for the show had Reigns winning and giving him a title run is still the long-term plan. However, because Reigns gets booed at tapings, WWE wants to get fans behind him by pitting him against the Authority as they screw him out of title wins, mirroring what happened with Daniel Bryan. The hope is that this will fight the perception among some fans that Reigns is the “corporate” champion that he’s picked up by being the next face of the company.
Opinionated View- Excepts people know he's the chosen corporate champion. And the time to build him up was before you had him win the Rumble main event mania and have him win the title in the tournament. With Bryan people were behind for years so a guy that has earned his chance to be on top and was not the mold of the usual WWE champion.
You can't do that with Reigns because he's only been in the business a few years fits the mold of the usual WWE superstar. Fans thought Bray got legit screwed with Reigns fans feel screwed because he's not that interesting.
