10 Creative Ways To Make Roman Reigns WWE's Top Babyface

Would putting the WWE Title on Reigns at Survivor Series be a mistake?

Right now, Roman Reigns is the apple of Vince McMahon's eye. In the opinion of the boss, Reigns has all the potential in the world to be the biggest babyface in WWE. That's a bold idea, because he's far from the most wildly popular star on television right now. It's true that Reigns does have his fans, but there are more popular names on the roster than he. Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker instantly spring to mind as guys that don't receive the spattered boos Roman Reigns does from time-to-time. Obviously, both those men are fully entrenched in WWE folklore, and have careers that stretch back a long way. However, they exist on a platform that the company desperately want Reigns to reach. There's an ignorant way about the tactics of McMahon and his creative staff at the moment. The boss may talk about wrestlers having to do more in order to get themselves fully over, but he and his brain trust also have a responsibility. It's unfair to levy full blame at the feet of Reigns for his plight. This article explores 10 different things WWE could do to help Roman Reigns out. If the company are aching to turn him into that money-drawing, genuine babyface, they could do a lot worse than using some of these ideas.
