10 Reasons WWE Fans Will FINALLY Accept Roman Reigns

8. Process Of Elimination

Roman Reigns Old School Title

A deeply cynical and optimistic suggestion - but not one without a footing in harsh reality.

Really, there are very few WWE superstars booked to their maximum potential. Even AJ Styles is treated poorly on paper, what with the 'Kami' b*llocks and his role as pawn in the interminable Shane McMahon Vs. Kevin Owens dispute. He cannot be denied. Meanwhile, the divide between NXT and the main roster becomes starker with each promotion. Bobby Roode was glorious in Full Sail. He is at half-mast on SmackDown in a strange babyface role. The Revival, contrary to initial hysteria, are not yet "f*cked" - but they are anonymous on RAW. That is not entirely literal, but it is in the case of Tye Dillinger, who barely appears on SmackDown and whose career, already, warrants a ten-bell salute. If nothing else, it is refreshing to watch a performer equipped with the knowledge that WWE will care about them in a few month's time. So many of Roman's peers do not, through little fault of their own, merit any level of investment.

He is a constant in a world of f*ckwitted flux.
