This is gonna be come a problem for the WWE. Their making the same mistake they did with Cena and thats focusing everything on Reigns and basing the whole direction of the show around him and the future around him and not caring about anything else. You watch a episode of Raw and it feels like Roman is the only focus and everything is secondary.

The problem isn't Reigns himself. Reigns can actually work, He's gotten better on the Mic and more relaxed than he was before. The problem is Vince is pushing the guy into "John Cena, Hulk Hogan, Steve Austin "levels and he's NOWHERE near there and the responses are showing. So they reach in panic modes and try to align him with his Shield buddies to get him cheers and thats a problem.

The first thing they have to do is make Reigns look "hip and cool" to the casual since he's now "the man".

Cena when he was the Doctor of Thuganmoics had it, Hoegan when he went Hollywood Hogan did, Steve Austin when he became Stone Cold" What is cool about Reigns excluding the Shield? What has he done that made people go "I have to tune in and see Roman Reigns kick ___________ass?

To make Reigns stand out first and foremost. I'll remix his theme.. Not some generic pop/ flo rida bullshyt but with people that people actually fukk with. Get Smoke DZA on board and remake Reigns theme. Have him in the video and then show his highlights of him kicking ass. Thats a start.

What would you guys do if Cokeboy hired you at Titan and your job is to get Roman over.. What would you do?

Steal Vince's dinosaur skull and dip. :manny:

Any good idea you pitch to Vince will be turned down unless you wanna lather Roman in steak wraps and ketchup. :dame:

Give him clean wins over half the roster.

Have The Rock come out to help him win the Royal Rumble.

Have him get cashed in on as soon as he wins the title.

Have him beat Triple H at Wrestlemania.

Have him beat Undertaker at Wrestlemania.

Have him beat Cena clean in a 'passing the torch' moment.

Have him end Brock Lesnar's 16-month title reign.

Reunite him with The Shield so he can siphon off cheers.

Turn your hottest babyface heel to fued with him.

Oh. Wait. :martin:

New theme. Minimal promos. Heyman as mouth piece (Samoan family connection storyline they were going with before)

I'd have him in a conflicted storyline with The Shield. Feuds with Seth for the heel turn years ago (they never really shot the fair one and hashed shyt out like Seth/Dean). Still friends with Dean.

Then eventually turns on both and aligns with the AOP bodying nikkas.

The well is probably poisoned at this point. They would almost certainly have to do a complete overhaul and reinvent the guy.

The heel turn needed to be alongside the Usos in 2016. All the momentum was building towards them all turning heel. We saw what it did for the two of them.

He is over. I guess you mean get him over as a face on the bygone era level of Hogan/Rock/Austin? Start over. He'd have to have a midcard heel run before you can even hope to bring him back as a main event face. The stench of four years of "coronations" has to be wiped out. Even then the whole booking/creative structure of the WWE would need to be thrown out as well or you'd just have the same problem eventually.
