10 Ingenious Ways WWE Can Restore Interest In Roman Reigns

It’s time to start thinking outside the box.

Poor, poor Roman Reigns. A mere year ago, this guy was the badass in the WWE. The muscle of The Shield. The strong but silent enforcer. The guy who would rather Spear and Superman Punch you than cut a promo. Reigns had rugged looks and a cut physique, and what he didn€™t have in technical skills, he made up for in charisma. The guy was going places. But fast forward several months, and now Reigns is getting booed out of arenas. That€™s what happens when the WWE tries to push their chosen hero (instead of Daniel Bryan), and the audience members decide to rebel rather than take it lying down. The WWE Universe booed Reigns when he won the Rumble, and they booed him when he appeared on TV afterwards. They€™ll probably boo him at Wrestlemania when he squares off against Brock Lesnar. The WWE is in one hell of a pickle. How, exactly, do they get audiences to like this guy again? Currently, they€™re trying to quell audience dissatisfaction by hiding him. The less he€™s seen on TV, they figure, the less he can be booed. But certainly, this is no long term solution. Just in case Vince McMahon reads WhatCulture, here are 10 Ingenious Ways To Restore Interest In Roman Reigns. It€™s time to start thinking outside the box - er, ring.
