10 Ways WWE Can Get Fans To Cheer Roman Reigns
10. Alter His Costume
In order to fully research this article, I've scrutinised very closely Roman's body of work, and I think - think - we're meant to infer that Reigns is some sort of Superman.
He uses a move called the Superman Punch. He overcomes evil quite a bit. He flies over the top rope with a plancha. He has his own eternal, all-powerful Lex Luthor in Brock Lesnar. He doesn't work for a newspaper, but he makes the headlines. Much like Clark Kent and his alter ego, Roman is indistinguishable from his early Shield persona to the crusader we see every week on RAW in 2018. Much like Superman, Roman does not possess human DNA but is instead completely alien to the audience. He doesn't have a love interest, but that's surely the next bullet point on Vinnie Mac's list. None of this is translating to the WWE Universe, who instead receive Roman as an over-produced and rudderless extension of Vince McMahon's ego. So, to make the implicit explicit, it's time WWE made this aspect of the Reigns character crystal clear by having him finally update his dated garb.
"They're not getting it, pal! Goddamnit, put him in a cape!"
