10 Biggest Problems Facing WWE Creative At The Moment
1. Generating Interesting Lesnar Vs. Reigns
It looks like Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns is nailed on for WrestleMania 34. The match was revealed several months ago, and with recent reports suggesting Brock will run through all challengers on the road to New Orleans, WWE will likely use the event as the stage of Roman’s latest coronation when he defeats Lesnar and becomes Universal Champion.
While the match itself will probably be fantastic (their ‘Mania 31 bout certainly was), it’s going to be a tough pill for many fans to swallow. If the match was going down this weekend, Reigns would be booed out of the building as the show went off the air. His critics aren’t going anywhere, and if Creative want to avoid the biggest show of the year ending in overwhelming negativity, they have a massive task on their hands.
It’s unlikely that they’ll be able to turn those jeers into cheers, but playing with the alignment scale could help. Reigns turning heel has been on many fans’ wishlists for a long time, and it’d be easy to buy into Brock as a monster babyface. This would at least put their respective alignments in-line with their reactions, but can Creative really convince Roman’s critics that he’s worth of this spot? If so, it’ll be one of their most remarkable achievements.
