5 Mistakes WWE should avoid making with Roman Reigns

#3. Make Roman Reigns go through the John Cena route again

If The Rock is an example of how to turn an unpopular babyface into a megastar, then Roman Reigns from 2015 to 2018 was the polar opposite. It's hard to blame Reigns for anything that happened in that period, especially since WWE refused to turn him heel.

Vince McMahon wanted to establish him as a megastar, and in the process, he headlined WrestleMania four consecutive years, facing Brock Lesnar (and Seth Rollins), Triple H, and The Undertaker as well. While he lost two of his five eventual WrestleMania main events, the entire handling of his character from 2015 to 2018 was disastrous.

WWE did everything wrong and tried to force him to become the next John Cena - something that he was never going to be. It could be seen in his lack of confidence with promos, and years later, he has come leaps and bounds.

We doubt that WWE will make the same mistake that they did before, but trying to make him another John Cena isn't going to work.
