7 Reasons Why Roman Reigns Will Struggle To Carry WWE

6. Because The Heels Have All Been Easily Defeated

When Hulk Hogan passed the torch to The Ultimate Warrior at WrestleMania 6, it briefly felt like the company had a new top guy. After all, Hogan hadn€™t lost cleanly on television in over six years, which made it a huge moment in the company€™s history. But after that, Hogan went away for awhile, and Warrior needed some top heels lined up to challenge him. But in 1990, Hogan had already done away with credible heels like Ted DiBiase and Randy Savage. Andre was on his last legs, and Roddy Piper and Jake The Snake were babyfaces. WWE decided to go with Rice Rude. While in hindsight that seemed like a great choice, Warrior had already won a feud against him months earlier at SummerSlam. Now we were supposed to buy the rematches as pay-per-view main events, and believe the heel now magically had a chance at winning? Yeah, it didn't really work. Currently, what heel in WWE could get Reigns to the next level? Kane? Who on the roster couldn€™t beat him at this point? Bray Wyatt? Cena did away with him and his family pretty easily not long ago. The Big Show? Nah, Cena's disposed of him time and time again too. Cesaro and Miz haven€™t been protected enough to mean anything. Seth Rollins is busy trying to build himself up. The only guy that could really give anyone a boost on the heel side is Brock Lesnar. That€™s it. WWE already damaged the rub from beating him a little bit by showing John Cena would have most likely won their match at Night of Champions. If Reigns does become the top guy, it€™s doubtful (especially with the current creative regime) that a series of main-events against Rollins and Kane are what's going to get him there.
