#1 He can make it work

As much heat as Roman has received for his lack of ability to rise to the occasion, the fact is he’s not the only one to blame. WWE has forced the issue, and that cannot be denied. But at this point, Reigns must be given a new opportunity to do his job.

Reigns is not a waste of time, incapable of performing. It’s in his blood, it’s what he was born to do, and he wants this life. He did extremely well with The Shield, and that can happen for him again. Working with the right direction and the right character, will make all the difference.

Roman can do this. Being able to relax and work with what’s been given to him will be exactly what he needs, and he should excel in this new spot. Reigns is a prime candidate to become a future leader in WWE, and though he’s not the right choice to be the top guy, that does not mean he can’t be the top heel.

If enough time passes and he does well enough, then perhaps the day will come when he could turn babyface once again and this time, he could possibly elevate the way WWE wants him to. But none of that will happen until he’s allowed to turn heel first.

This is something that WWE must do, if Roman is to succeed. He must be the bad guy, before he could ever become the guy.
