Roman Reigns' title reign is difficult to judge at this point, since he just won it on Monday Night Raw the night after TLC, and will be facing multiple challenges in the coming weeks, first in the form of Sheamus on 2016's inaugural episode of Raw, and as well at the upcoming Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View, if he can hold onto it for that long. However, the manner in which WWE granted Roman Reigns with the WWE World Heavyweight Championship was truly commendable, and responsible for why you hear a lot more cheers than boos for the man when he makes his way down through the crowd. If Reigns walked out of Levi's Stadium at WrestleMania 31 with the title around his waist, despite the honourable performance, the majority of that crowd would have been up in arms. But forcing Roman into a do-or-die situation where he had no help, and had his back against the wall with The Authority and The Celtic Warrior, Sheamus staring him dead on, allowed the fans to slowly route for the Samoan powerhouse. It's unknown to us at this time how Reigns will fair now that he's officially the top dog, an accolade WWE have been hoping to plaster him with for quite some time now. Based on the way they've been going to get the crowd behind him, even bringing the devil himself, Vincent Kennedy McMahon in to feud with him, and given the improvements Reigns himself has made over the last twelve months, it's safe to say that Roman Reigns is far from a paper champion. He could potentially be the face of the WWE for a while to come, and if that's the plan, they've kicked things off quite well thus far.
