If Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson serve to cost Reigns the WWE Title, he would logically be fuming. That anger could be useful, it could help turn Roman against those who belittle him as a headliner. With the title around his waist, Reigns realistically wouldn't care as much about what people think. Remove it, and he'd be suitably snarling.
