3 Explanations for why Roman Reigns should be moved to the tag team division

Roman Reigns has been the premier superstar of WWE since the last 5 years. He has won all the championships on the main roster and has even main evented WrestleMania multiple times. The WWE Universe was frustrated with the way Vince McMahon pushed Roman to the moon, hence they turned their back on him and booed him wherever he went.

This all changed when Roman made his real-life battle with Leukemia public in October 2018 and relinquished the Universal Championship. The Big Dog returned to in-ring competition in February 2019 and has been on an undefeated streak in singles matches ever since.

He has defeated some of the top heels of the company like Drew McIntyre and Elias and the WWE Universe has been cheering for him just like they cheer for the company's top babyface, Seth Rollins.

Another reason why the fans are not showering boos on him is that he has been kept away from the main event feuds. Roman has been a mid-card superstar this year and in this article, we will have a look at the 3 reasons why he should be moved to the tag team division-

#3 To keep the single titles away from him

As mentioned ahead, one of the biggest reasons why the crowd has been cheering for him is that he is not fighting for the company's premier championship.

The current champions of the men's division, Seth Rollins (Universal Champion), Rey Mysterio (United States Champion), Finn Balor (Intercontinental Champion) and Kofi Kingston (WWE Champion) are all very over and if Roman Reigns feuds with any of them, the Big Dog is destined to be booed.

Hence, it would be great if WWE keeps the singles gold away from him at the moment and moves him in the tag team division.

#2 Roman Reigns can elevate the stagnating tag team division of both the brands

It is easy to forget that Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins are the reigning RAW tag team champions because the Usos and the Revival have been the focal point of the red brand's tag team division.

On the other hand, the B-show has Daniel Bryan and Rowan as their tag team champions, a team which lost to a RAW tag team on the kick-off show of Money In The Bank.

This indicates that the tag team divisions of both the brands have been lacking top stars and someone like Roman Reigns can solve this problem. The Big Dog has a massive fan following and given that Vince McMahon frequently uses him as a 'Wild Card' on RAW, he can wrestle tag team bouts on both the shows and raise the levels of the tag team division.

#1 It will help in creating a new star

Roman Reigns would need a partner in order to form a tag team and join the division. His Shield brother, Seth Rollins is the Universal Champion, so Roman will be forced to find a new tag team partner. Given that Reigns is on SmackDown Live, we can back WWE to pick a SmackDown superstar as his new tag team partner.

Looking at the options on hand, we have Ali, Apollo Crews, Chad Gable, Finn Balor, Matt Hardy, R-Truth and Sin Cara. Aligning Roman Reigns with any of these superstars will result in the formation of a random tag team. If WWE wants to elevate someone like Ali, Crews or Gable they can form the new tag team.

Otherwise, they can also have RAW's A-Lister, the Miz join forces with the Big Dog. They have an ongoing plot where the Miz and Roman have been teaming up together to battle their common foe, Shane McMahon but WWE can continue this partnership even further.

This tag team run can raise the status of the Miz and also increase the popularity of the Big Dog even further. Also, a future Miz heel turn can set up a wonderful storyline.
