I don't think of it as a "step backwards", it's a return to a fued that should never totally die. These guys should always carry a vibe that every so often, they are at odds. Shit, the whole angle is based on Bray's professional jealousy of Reigns. It only makes sense that it spread to Harper and Ambrose. Ambrose has stayed friends with Roman, had his own fued with Bray, Bray just explained that it was time for Harper to back to the fold...it's all good shit. And Reigns is on his "redemption tour" this year. Time to move from singles dudes to a big team up angle.
