My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius , commander of the Armies of the North , General of the Felix Legions , loyal servant to the true emperor , Marcus Aurelius . Father to a murdered son , husband to a murdered wife . And I will have my vengeance , in this life or the next . Always makes me shiver <| sep |> And he will likely keep paying that price for years to come . Which is a shame because by all rights Roman has what it takes to be a very good top babyface for a multiyear run on top . The problem at this point is that creative has no idea how to fix him in the eyes of the crowd . Remember a couple of months ago when Roman and Rusev were brawling after their match on Raw ended in a no contest . Roman was about the smash Rusev with a chair . The crowd is totally behind Roman . Then they have Roman not hit Rusev . Which turns the crowd on Roman . Then they have Roman hit Rusev afterwards anyway , but it ' s not as good .
