#3 Positive change from their usual storylines
Once a WWE Superstar reaches a certain level of stardom, they often find themselves in a familiar storyline pattern where their main purpose is to help elevate other talents.
Did you know a top WWE Superstar just wrestled outside the company? More details HERE
Becky Lynch, for example, reached the highest of highs at WrestleMania 35 when she defeated Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair to become Raw and SmackDown Women's Champion, so what happened next? She helped elevate Lacey Evans.
Outside of his statement-making wins over Triple H and The Undertaker, Roman Reigns’ non-WrestleMania rivalries usually involve him elevating other Superstars (Braun Strowman, Baron Corbin, Drew McIntyre etc), and the same goes for Daniel Bryan (Big Cass, Kofi Kingston, Heavy Machinery etc).
It is very rare that two top Superstars go head-to-head and there is no clear indication on who WWE’s decision-makers are trying to ‘push’ in the storyline, and that is exactly what fans would get with Reigns vs. Bryan.
