With the right formula, Roman could have a huge future.

I'll be perfectly honest, I am not a huge fan of Roman Reigns, but on the other hand, I don't understand the overkill on all the hate. It seems like when Roman was with The Shield, he was adored by most of the WWE Universe. However, something happened along his singles journey which changed the collective perception on Roman.

The 2014 Royal Rumble was the start of a slow burn for Reigns, after being one of the final 2 in the Royal Rumble match and then losing to Batista. But, the very next year was when the spit really hit the fan. The 2015 Rumble nearly turned into the scene of a massive riot when Daniel Bryan was eliminated shortly after entering the match. Then it got really insane when Roman Reigns won the contest. As The Rock held his hand high in the air, a sea of boos filled the Wells Fargo Center. At that moment, Roman Reigns was a marked man by the fans and has yet to find his way back into the good grace of the WWE Universe.

Roman may not be the fans choice at the moment, but there's no denying his potential and if WWE creative decides to pull the trigger on a full-blown heel-turn and push him on a Brock Lesnar-type of an unstoppable run, I think he could change the minds of many naysayers in due time.
