7 Reasons Why Roman Reigns Should Be Next WWE Champion

29-year-old has everything stacked in his favour when it comes to the WWE handpicking their next champion.

Often, the best way to try and get an insight into the WWE's plans for the Money in the Bank pay-per-view is to hire a psychic medium. The show that matches neatly with controversy like peanut butter and jelly is wrestling unpredictability at its very best - as proven last year. Damien Sandow coming from seemingly nowhere (in comparison to the other men involved) to win the coveted Money in the Bank briefcase was a shrewd piece of booking by the WWE - even if they did make a complete mess of it in the end. There is always the possibility of a surprise cashing-in at the end of the show, too - which is more than enough to keep fans on the edge of their seats. In truth, Money in the Bank is a show like no other, with more twists and turns than a terrifying rollercoaster. WWE fans have been given two ladder matches for the price of one this year, too - as the traditional briefcase match is joined by a contest for the vacant WWE World Heavyweight Championship. The field is scattered with guys who have varying chances of winning the title, but one name stands out above the rest as the freshest, exciting talent in there. Roman Reigns was the penultimate guy to qualify for the match, but he did it in some style - justifying all the talk that he would be in for a major singles push when The Shield split. Both of those things have happened, and in the space of three weeks, Reigns has gone from one third of The Shield to potential WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Here are just seven reasons why the 29-year-old has everything stacked in his favour when it comes to the WWE handpicking their next champion.
