10 WWE Stars In Desperate Need Of A Turn
10. Roman Reigns
This one is a Vince Russo (no-brainer) - so much so that we're getting it out of the way early.
Reigns isn't just unpopular because of the manner in which he's been forced down our throats - there is also a palpable air of arrogance and entitlement surrounding him. Addressing the resentment towards him in early 2015, he brushed off the ill will he'd generated by saying that he was simply 'a guy getting rich'.
This was bad enough in itself, but he was trying to get over in the top face spot at the expense of Daniel Bryan, a man who endeared himself to the WWE Universe for his humility and good nature as much as his out-of-this-world in-ring ability. His comments were spectacularly misjudged, and just reinforced the idea that wasn't the guy, much less our guy.
WWE has actually done a decent job of positioning Reigns as a tweener, but you can't stop the rain. The crowd reactions haven't changed. At which point, though will WWE remove their fingers from the ears and turn him to the dark side? Are they so wilfully obtuse as to try and engineer sympathy out of his embarrassing Wellness Policy violation?
