5 Biggest takeaways from John Cena vs Roman Reigns

#2 Has Reigns reached the promised land?

Is Roman Reigns finally ready for his coronation?

While gracing Raw Talk, John Cena mentioned something to the effect of drawing out that extra 'oomph' factor from Roman Reigns during the course of the storyline...but did he manage it successfully?

Yes, Reigns did seem much more fluent, forthcoming and bold on the microphone but was that all that was lacking in his quest to be universally accepted as the Guy in the WWE?

As Cena himself highlighted during the intense back-and-forth segment that kicked off their feud, the fans don't know whether to cheer or boo Roman Reigns because they sense that he's holding something back...that he's got more to him than he's letting on.

But while we collectively appreciated the candour from Cena, can we honestly say that Reigns has become a better man for it after No Mercy?

There were indeed glimpses of no-filter badassery from Reigns that resonated with the audience beyond the cheering and booing — which is exactly what the WWE is looking for —but can we safely assume that he will remain this way without having a John Cena-esque figure around to draw it out of him every time?

I wouldn't cross my fingers...but I certainly hope so.
