5 Reasons why Braun Strowman is the perfect opponent for Roman Reigns

#1 Covers up his weakness

We all know that the most glaring chink in Reigns’ armour exposes itself when you thrust a microphone in front of his face. And being the handpicked golden boy that he is, the WWE has gone to great lengths to ensure that he gets over as a character while covering up for his lack of oratorical ability.

A feud against Strowman, however, even makes that flawed approach quite believable.

WWE has no plans for these former AEW wrestlers? Here's why!

No one in their right mind is going to hurl insults at Strowman or trade verbal jabs with him; Strowman comes to fight and anyone squaring up to him better be ready to do so as well – a scenario that has played right into the WWE’s hands when it comes to Reigns.

Reigns’ discomfort with the microphone takes a backseat when he goes at it hammer and tongs with the Monster among Men. That he cannot cut a promo is momentarily forgotten as we're sucked, wide-eyed, into the violent world of two irrepressible alpha males duking it out for supremacy.

And it is precisely through this manner of booking that Reigns' strengths - his athletic ability and durability - are highlighted and his weaknesses, swept under the rug.

More of the same please, WWE.
