5 things WWE need to stop doing

Brock Lesnar beat Roman Reigns at WrestleMania

#5 Putting Roman Reigns in the main event

Roman
Roman Reigns defeated Samoa Joe at Backlash

For the past couple of occasions, Roman Reigns has been in the main event of a WWE pay-per-view, the audience has not bought into it at all. At both WrestleMania and Backlash, Reigns' clashes with Brock Lesnar and Samoa Joe respectively have been very poorly received by the crowd.

This is not necessarily Reigns' fault, but the decision to put Reigns on last at the moment appears to be counter-productive for The Big Dog. At Backlash during the main event the audience could be heard chanting "Rusev day", "delete" and "this is boring" clearly showing disaffection with Reigns. Reigns probably needs to be taken off the main event spot for his own good more than anything else.

A top AEW star just called one of his colleagues 'spoiled' and 'narcissistic' HERE.

If Reigns is given time to revitalize or even repackage his character, then he could return to this main event spot and be lauded by the WWE Universe, but at the moment it doesn't appear that just sitting around and hoping the crowd will buy into him is going to work.

The fact that Reigns main events pay-per-views even when his match is a non-title one, has been interpreted by some that he has become more important than the WWE title. Reigns spending months complaining that there is a conspiracy against him and that he is being held back, is completely inconsistent with him being booked in the main event of a non-title match.
