3 reasons why Roman Reigns should not be in the WrestleMania main event

#2 The fans have already rejected him

Fans showered Roman Reigns with boos, even as The Rock raised his arm at the 2015 Royal Rumble

When Roman Reigns won the 2015 Royal Rumble and went on to main event WrestleMania 31 against Brock Lesnar, the fans revolted. Even an endorsement by The Rock didn't stop the Philadelphia crowd from raining down a chorus of boos. The jeering was loud back then and was every time Reigns entered the ring.

Over the past year, things appear to have quietened. In part, it might be because of the fact that it was common knowledge that Reigns vs Lesnar II was scheduled for WrestleMania and that plans were unlikely to change. Also, because three years ago, during Reigns' first Mania main event, at least it was something new. This will be the fourth year running that he has been on top of the biggest card of the year and it's no longer interesting. It's dull, it's tedious and as a result, the WWE Universe has seemingly given up.

And the tepid booing once again highlights that Roman is not "The Guy". It was one thing to claim he was the next John Cena a couple of years back, to point out that "at least he gets a reaction", but now it's just glaringly obvious that he's not living up to the role he's been cast in and the audience is switching off. And if that's the case, Roman Reigns should not be in the WrestleMania main event.

What's more, while three years ago it could be argued that even with the negative fan response, at least they were trying something new, giving a fresh face a spot in the biggest match of the year, the same can no longer be said in 2018. Roman Reigns will now enter his Mania main event number four. It's no longer an experiment. It's trying to make a square peg fit a round hole.

Interestingly, The Undertaker has main evented four WrestleManias.
