Vince McMahon pushed Roman Reigns to the moon following the implosion of The Shield in mid-2014. He defeated Randy Orton at SummerSlam 2014 and was further pushed on the road to WrestleMania 31.
Over the next four years, Vince McMahon pushed Roman Reigns as a babyface despite fans' disapproval. Vince McMahon didn't seem to care that Reigns was delivering horrible promos while fans were quickly getting tired of him.
Roman Reigns' win at the 2015 Royal Rumble was met with loud boos even though The Rock was right there beside him to raise his hand. Reigns headlined four consecutive WrestleManias and became the second man to defeat The Undertaker on 'The Grandest Stage Of Them All'. The WWE Universe did not care.
Vince McMahon finally gave in to fans' demands in 2020 and turned Roman Reigns heel. As expected, the decision paid off big time and Reigns is currently the biggest superstar on WWE TV.

Abhilash Mendhe is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda with nearly five years of experience. He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
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.
