10 Ways WWE Can Get Fans To Cheer Roman Reigns

6. OR, Sack Off The Stars Fans Actually Like

Roman Reigns Shocked

Why not simply future endeavour those on the roster fans prefer to Roman?

It's not as if WWE cares about pushing them with any consistency or conviction, anyway. If everybody gets a turn - and that doesn't work - just don't give them a turn. WWE excels at normalising the special without even trying, so with some careful forethought, simply make the anonymous extinct. Replace your high-flying wizards like AJ Styles. They're already insidiously tarnishing him with strange handicap matches and ball-busting booking. We don't need the sumptuous technicality of a Daniel Bryan. He's a vegan, for f*ck's sake. Replace popular acts with sh*tty ones, and we will be forced to accept Roman through sheer relativity. We're not talking diluted, delegitimised shadows of their former NXT selves sh*tty. We're talking 2011 sh*tty.

Ezekiel Jackson is your Intercontinental Champion sh*tty.

R-Truth is a PPV headliner sh*tty.

We expect you to take seriously the prospect of Kevin Nash in a ladder match sh*tty.

It is impossible to cheer Ted DiBiase, Jr. ironically.

Then again, it probably isn't.
