7 Ways Fans Were Tricked Into Rooting For Roman Reigns On Raw This Week

#5 Continuing to keep Reigns a tweener

WWE is exactly a babyface anymore, but he really isn't a heel either.

While WWE has made some questionable booking decisions when it comes to Roman Reigns, one of their best ones seems to be keeping him in a tweener role. At least that way Reigns doesn't have to be overly babyface and can also explore his anti-hero side a little bit, which is really starting to endear him to fans.

Again, the storyline might not be making sense at time, especially since Reigns wants to claim he is a fighting champion and then has his Shield brethren help him take down Braun Strowman, but WWE is doing a really good job of making Reigns look so badass that fans are starting to forget why they hated him in the first place.
