10 Ways WWE Can Get Fans To Cheer Roman Reigns

5. Programme Him With Even MORE Worthless Duds

Roman Reigns Shocked

WWE's recent plan hasn't yielded results.

By programming Roman with Jinder Mahal - once the manifestation of bruised fan relations - WWE hoped for that famously deafening 'lesser of both evils' pop. Instead, because he isn't Roman Reigns, Jinder is received with a hero's welcome by those who considered him a terminal disease literally one year ago today. That is some face turn.

The problem is that Jinder isn't worthless enough. We need a fresh steaming pile of sh*t, not one that has been flushed, the stink long forgotten.

Enter Big Cass.

He is an abysmal singles act, one of those curious cases of a big lad who wrestles, with some irony, like he is S A W F T. People loathe him, right now, for tarnishing Daniel Bryan's comeback. He is persona non grata. He is perfect. He will probably get cheered ironically. But we must try everything, for reasons which can not be sanely explained. Also: Rehire Enzo Amore. Book him to perform relatively advanced manoeuvres, at which he'll fail spectacularly and thus annoy the crowd, and have Roman beat him.

Only The Real Sh*tty Guys In The Room will do.
