Prinze Jr. admitted that he wasn’t entirely down on the match, even calling most of the action between Reigns and Jey good. But even separate from that and the lack of “tribal” elements, there were some logic holes with the match he couldn’t quite get over.

“Solo interfered, so I guess that means he’s out of the family because the elders aren’t going to tolerate it,” Prinze Jr. said. “The elders are the ones that have so much power, they were the ones that made this match because otherwise, Roman wouldn’t have given Jey a title shot. He wouldn’t have given him anything. So I assume he’s going to be out of the family, and I assume Jimmy’s going to be out of the family.

“Otherwise, what powers do the elders really have? You can’t paint yourself into a corner storywise through unfulfilled promises, man. You can’t say these people are all-powerful, and then … if the elders have no power, how are they all-powerful? If they’re all-powerful, then Roman Reigns has to follow those rules, because he had to take that match. So now, if he doesn’t have to follow the rules within the match, how is he not kicked out of the family? So I just don’t understand the story they were trying to tell.
