He's had 3 consecutive underwhelming Wrestlemania main events. :scusthov: It would have been 4 if it wasn't for Rollins.
Talk about a rush job and never letting a guy find his role or voice out there. He’d wrestled 2 total one on one pay per view matches going into WM31 and had been on the main roster 28 months. Just ten months removed from the shield breaking up. This shyt of trying to force him as the top guy has lasted nearly triple the length of the shield’s run together from debut to when Rollins turned :snoop:

They've tried getting him sympathy but instead, he just looks like a big crybaby loser.

The experiment failed. Roman is never going to be the top guy they wanted. He'll still win world titles and still main event shows because they've established him in that role. But he'll never be THE GUY. It's done.

The first Brock/Roman match is one of the best Mania matches of all time and would have been even better with another few minutes instead of Rollins cashing in.

  • The decision to have Brock Lesnar retain the Universal Championship at WrestleMania was an audible called by Vince McMahon because Roman Reigns wasn’t getting the reaction he wanted, according to reporting by Jeremy Botter.
Read that this morning and laughed my ass off. Here’s the thing: if that’s true and Vince called an audible, we should all be worried and so should the company. Reigns hasn’t gotten the reaction he’s wanted for years now and he wasn’t getting it prior to the match. So why would all of that suddenly change in a few days at Mania with that crowd? He’s so out of touch with his audience that it’s shocking at this point.

He needs someone with seniority and someone he trusts (trips, Patterson, etc) to pull him aside and be real with him. Tell him this isn’t going to go the way he wants it to but he has to be ok with that if reigns is his guy. If not, then we need a new guy, but they can’t keep playing footsie. A vocal part of your fan base isn’t feeling him so either you’re cool with that or you’re not. But the shyt he’s doing now is just silly and does no one any favors, most of all Reigns.

Why wait until mania to pull the plug ? It should’ve been Braun vs lésnar ..Roman needs other programs not focused on main eventing wrestlemania maybe a small heel run as well

So they wasted the past few years building him up putting him in all the main events only to feed him to Brock on the biggest stage

Might as well have crowned him so that they could build someone up to take on Roman for next year to get the rub and let Roman become a heel to add new life to his character.

It wasn't until rock became heel that he became the Rock
