10 Wrestlers WWE Pushed At The EXACT Wrong Time
1. Roman Reigns
Literally everybody on the face of the planet, other than the person it was up to, said that Roman Reigns should have turned heel either upon leaving the Shield in 2014 or, at a minimum, a few months after his future top guy babyface push had failed and was never going to succeed.
Everybody said the same thing: turn him heel, it seems highly probable that he will be amazing playing heel, he will not get over playing babyface until people start to recognise his immense talent - which is best harnessed for now in the heel role - after which point, when the audience will respect him, then he can play babyface, because this is how wrestling promotion tends to work.
Incredibly, the one person who didn't share this opinion was the most preeminent wrestling promoter of all-time.
This wasn't just naive message board knowitallism, something like "Ted DiBiase, Jr. should end the Undertaker's WrestleMania streak": Roman Reigns did get over as a massive heel star, the biggest in wrestling, in 2020. He was an amazing heel. He will turn face at some point and get over because fans now respect his work.
Pushing Roman Reigns like this after almost a full decade of Super (John) Cena was like that Homer Simpsons eats donuts in hell gag, only replacing "donuts" with "sh*t".
