WWE/WCW History: 10 worst promos of all time

#5 Roman Reigns' bedtime story

The Big Dog feuded with The Big Show in early 2015. On an episode of Monday Night Raw, Reigns interrupted The Big Show and proceeded to the ring, forcing the giant to leave for the ramp. And thus the story began!

Roman Reigns, complete with a big smile, began what is now considered as one of the cringiest promos of all time. He retold the story of Jack and The Beanstalk, replacing the main characters with The Big Show and himself. The crowd listened with confused faces as Roman finished his story with a hint towards beating the Big Show to a pulp.

Although the finish garnered a small pop, the damage was done. This was one of those moments that solidified the fact that Roman wasn't a good talker, and needed serious improvements. The blame also lies with the creative, who came up with the idea of this cringy promo.

Roman's current association with Paul Heyman truly saves the Samoan from being exposed from moments like these.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
