5 reasons Roman Reigns is one of the most loved WWE Superstars today

#2 His history with The Shield

The Shield were hugely popular

When The Shield debuted on the WWE's main roster, they took the wrestling world by storm. They were the hottest new thing in the business, and unlike most other groups making the same impact, they were able to fulfil their potential. And, a key component of this success was Roman Reigns.

The strong, silent enforcer of the group made heads turn with his terrific power and athleticism in displays that won the hearts of the WWE Universe. And, a lot of those hearts hold a soft spot for "The Big Dog" even after the trio of Reigns, Seth Rollins, and Dean Ambrose eventually broke up.

Amongst those who supported him in the early days, he still retains the love and affection of a portion of those fans to this day.
