5. Roman The Hothead

One character flaw that is constant in Roman Reigns clearly has made him vulnerable, his kryptonite, if you will.

Reigns has had trouble controlling his temper, and it has led to him getting distracted and losing matches. That’s exactly what happened Monday, with the challenger losing his cool during his Intercontinental Championship match against the Miz. Roman lost his cool with the Miztourage and chased them around the ring, leading to him walking right into a Skull-Crushing Finale for the win.

The announcers have called him out on his behavior before, so it’s definitely a recurring theme with Roman. Get him too hot that he can’t help by getting disqualified or distracted. It’s not a huge blindspot, but it’s there.
