#5 The Wellness Policy violation
As if Roman wasn’t already behind the eight ball in terms of connecting with fans; he made a major mistake when he recently failed a drug test. Now the man that many fans have been supporting for so long has let them down. In fact, he let down the whole company.
Reigns is only human of course, and he should not be condemned for the rest of his days. People make mistakes, they make errors in judgment, and when they do, the only solution is to learn and hopefully grow from it. Roman surely wants to do just that.
But why let it go? WWE has proven in the past that it’s not afraid to exploit reality for the sake of a storyline, so why not use this to their advantage? Seth Rollins has already aired Roman’s dirty laundry on live TV, so why not take it one step further?
Imagine Roman cutting a promo on the Monday Night Raw after Battleground, in which he proclaims that his Wellness Policy Violation was not his fault. He retracts his statement from Twitter, and shocks everyone by blaming the WWE Universe.
The stress that fans have put on him by constantly booing him, made him screw up. They’re to blame, not him. By the way; it’s none of anyone’s business what he does outside of the wrestling ring. This is his life, and he can do what he wants, when he wants to do it.
That moment would provide all the reason Roman would ever need to turn his back on the fans. It’s a great jumping off point, and one that would lay the foundation for his career as WWE’s newest top heel.
