7 Bad In-Ring Habits That Roman Reigns Needs To Change
7. Over-Exuberance
Above is a picture of Roman Reigns delivering a Sit Out Powerbomb to AJ Styles at Extreme Rules 2016. Almost two years on from channeling the spirit of those guys from that Budweiser ad in 1999, Reigns is still using the same over-the-top facials during his matches to sell victory, a major moment or disappointment.
Having a pop at someone in pro wrestling for being OTT seems stupid, and yet there's a time and place for such merriment. It shouldn't be happening towards the end of a gruelling 20-minute match. When was the last time you saw Styles do something similar? He's babyface and capable of leaving sophomoric behaviour out of his most meaningful fights.
Roman doesn't need to stop acting this way, he just has to pick the correct moments to make wacky facials or appear over-confident. Otherwise, he'll continue to be viewed as one of the least cool babyfaces since John Cena had the audacity to dress like a child.
Wassup.
