8 Major Ramifications Of Roman Reigns' WWE Suspension

5. The Fan Reaction

To put things mildly, Roman has his fair set of detractors. It’s a bit bizarre watching the crowd boo his every word while in a verbal exchange with Seth Rollins, who is being greeted with cheers. On Raw this week, Roman actually took it to the crowd and laid into those chanting that he can’t wrestle. Is that a sign of things to come?

WWE has been desperately fighting the tide for a couple of years now when it comes to Roman. They’ve tried to position him as an honorable guy, and as a total badass, but fans aren’t getting behind those stories. They need a new one.

When he returns, his reaction is highly likely to be worse than ever. It could be absolutely brutal. The fans who already have it out for him are going to lose their minds when they get the chance to boo him again. This inevitable reaction may finally leave the company with no other choice than to do something they probably should have done long ago...

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
