8 Reasons Daniel Bryan Shouldn't Be Part Of WrestleMania's Main Event

7. It Will Destroy The Push Of Roman Reigns

Lets take a minute to address the Reigns issue. Despite his shortcomings, not many fans actually HATE Roman Reigns. They wernt booing HIM at the rumble, they were booing the company for their predictability and their judgement in picking a guy who wasnt ready for the spotlight yet. But WWE has been subtly grooming him for a long time now. He had a dominant performance at the 2013 Survivor Series, and he holds the current record for most eliminations in a Rumble match. In The Shield, he went from being just one third of a united trio, to being the standout member, before WWE finally dropped all pretence and referred to him as the leader. He was made to look strong and dominant. Roman doesnt have the love of the fans right now, but thats not entirely his fault, it's the company putting him in a position that he just isnt ready to occupy at this stage. Do his in-ring performance and mic skills need work? Absolutely. But Reigns is one of those people who get better every time they step in the ring, and given enough time and patience, he could grow to be a very special performer. In an ideal world, he would have that time. But WWE has thrown him in the deep end, and it's time for him to sink or swim. If WWE publicly abandon him now at the height of his career, he will not recover in the eyes of the audience.
