5). Roman is ready
When he mic dropped a vociferously jeering audience on the post-WrestleMania 33 episode of Raw, the words 'This is my yard now!' ringing across the arena, it seemed like Roman Reigns dropped his insecurities, his doubts and all of the concern that he was not being perceived as a babyface along with it.
In that seminal moment, Roman Reigns was reborn.
He has since gone on to embrace the dark side, letting his badassery do the talking instead of his mouth. He has also seemingly come to terms with the fact that he is the chosen one, the final marking on the Undertaker's gravestone and - quite possibly - the vanquisher of the Beast.
A year back, you got the feeling that Reigns desperately wanted to be cheered. Now, he just wants to win, regardless how what the reaction from the audience is.
Also, the WWE can realistically never wait for 100% acceptance from the fans before pulling the trigger on Roman's metaphorical coronation. That's a fickle approach. All they need is for Reigns to grow comfortable in his own skin; to know and act like the absolute superstar that he is destined to be.
And all signs point to the fact that that time is almost upon us.
Reigns seems more ready than ever to step up and truly embrace being the Big Dog. He wrecks his competition unapologetically, a cold mean streak shimmering beneath the padded black vest that he dons. He walks about with ill-conceived purpose, determined to mow down anyone who disputes his claim to the throne of the WWE.
One almost gets the feeling that he knows that the WWE is his yard now.
And he may just claim it at SummerSlam.
Brock Lesnar who?
