7 Ways WWE Can Take The Shield Out Of Roman Reigns

2. Give Him A More Traditional Entrance

When The Shield appeared together, their gimmick was to walk through the crowd. The idea was that these three guys were renegades that weren't welcome backstage and were hired by others to take people out. It made sense A few years after the group has established themselves and gone their separate ways, Reigns is still walking through the crowd. Why? There's no reason to do it. Remember how Edge and Christian used to enter by going through the crowd? That was their thing. It stopped when they went their separate ways. Christian even had a theme song where it said "Christian, at last you're on your own" to make that point very clear. Maybe the reason could be that WWE wants to show that Reigns is a man of the people so he's going to keep entering by walking down the steps to the ring. What would be better is if he had a more spectacular entrance. An example is a guy like Batista. Once he became a top guy, WWE gave him a cooler entrance complete with fireworks that he would set off when doing his muscle pose on the ramp. Give Reigns something like that.
