10 Reasons WWE Are Smart To Book Roman Reigns Vs The IWC

9. Proven Success With John Cena

The spot Roman Reigns is in right now is proven money. Just take a look at John Cena's WWE career.

WWE put Cena up against the IWC when they positioned him against Rob Van Dam at ECW One Night Stand in 2006. They did it again when they put him against CM Punk and Daniel Bryan. Going against the darlings of the internet, the boos were inevitable.

Yet critically and commercially, those feuds did well and Cena's star only grew bigger because of it.

That now has to be the hope with Reigns. Put him against Styles and other IWC darlings, but don't see the boos as a bad thing. Instead, embrace the heat as fuel for his character. If it is anything like what happened with Cena, it will carry The Big Dog towards years of success.
