8 Annoying Traits WWE Stars Need To Stop RIGHT NOW

1. Roman Reigns' High-Pitched Comedy Voice

A few years ago, WWE made a concerted effort to inject Roman Reigns with some ill-needed personality. During his promos, it wasn't uncommon for him to crack terrible jokes, wink at the camera like he was best pals with the viewer or palm off threats with the worst Looney Tunes references ever.

To his credit, Reigns survived this horror show and went on to deliver more realistic, hard-edged material for his feuds with The Undertaker and John Cena. Suddenly, WWE realised that trying to turn Roman into a weird mix between The Rock and Cena was a bad idea.

It'd be interesting then to hear their explanation for the high-pitched comedy voice he's been using lately.

The most recent example was when The Revival interrupted his flimsy argument with Bobby Lashley on Raw. Whilst pretty funny, the jokey voice Reigns put on neither fits his "Big Dog" character or makes him look like the respectful top guy WWE want to present him as.

It's something both Reigns and the writers should move away from immediately. If they don't, he may just return to those nightmarish days of 2014-15.
