Roman Reigns returned to WWE back at SummerSlam, and he has since become one of the most popular stars in the company. The WWE Universal Champion's recent heel turn and alliance with Paul Heyman has pushed him to new heights. This new character has also allowed Roman Reigns to show off his new promo skills.
In recent months, Roman Reigns has been delivering some of the best promos of his career, and it's easy to see why he's considered to be the present and future of the company.
That being said, Reigns hasn't always been as confident on the mic. "The Tribal Chief" struggled with promos when he first left The Shield, and there are many WWE promos that the former World Champion would rather forget.
#5. John Cena/ Roman Reigns - Did he forget his lines?
Roman Reigns stepped into the path of John Cena back in 2017. After their confrontation on Monday Night RAW, no one would blame "The Big Dog" if he thought he got the rough end of the deal.
Roman Reigns and John Cena's promo has been seen as one of the more entertaining faceoffs in WWE history. John Cena delivered a number of truths to Roman Reigns after he forgot his lines.
"The Big Dog" was about to tell the former WWE Champion that there are two reasons why the WWE Universe boos him. But Roman Reigns lost his train of thought. John Cena capitalized by telling him that if he wants to make it in WWE, then he has to be able to cut a promo.
While it's believed that this whole promo was scripted, it was still one that didn't do Roman Reigns any favors. This segment definitely took him back a few steps in his development.
#2. Roman Reigns forgets his lines in a promo with Triple H- WWE RAW 2015
Roman Reigns was in the middle of a feud with The Authority at the beginning of 2015. After he won the Royal Rumble, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon questioned whether Roman Reigns would be allowed to main event WWE WrestleMania.
In a promo that kicked off Monday Night RAW on February 2, 2015, Roman Reigns approached Triple H and Stephanie McMahon and questioned their decision.
During the promo, Roman Reigns forgot his lines and had to ask Triple H what was next so that they could continue. It was an interesting moment that was picked up by a number of WWE fans on social media. This unfortunate moment added to what was already a tough year the controversial Superstar.
Of course, despite the promo, Roman Reigns was still able to go on defeat Daniel Bryan in the main event of WWE Fastlane. He then took on Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania in the main event of the show. Though he wasn't victorious, this match was a defining moment in his career.
#3. Roman Reigns is going to "breat" Brock Lesnar
Roman Reigns didn't have a great year on the mic throughout 2015. "The Big Dog" was caught tripping over his lines several times. After his time in The Shield, where he only had to utter a line or a sentence at the end of promos, these lengthy promos were a challenging change for Roman Reigns.
The current WWE Universal Champion has managed to find his flow when speaking on the mic. But back in 2015, he delivered a promo that was unforgettable for the wrong reasons. He vowed to defeat Brock Lesnar at WWE WrestleMania, but the words didn't come out the way he wanted them to:
"And I go on to WrestleMania and I breat Brock Lesnar for the World Heavyweight Championship."
Reigns corrected himself after he invented the world "breat." But the WWE Universe was already booing because of his Royal Rumble win. This error led to much louder boos that the Superstar tried to battle against.
Sadly, this wasn't the only time Roman Reigns tripped over his words on the mic. This will go down as one of several promos he will look back on and see how far he has come.
#4. Roman Reigns forgets his lines - WWE TLC 2014
Roman Reigns returned to WWE at TLC: Tables, Ladders, and Chairs back in 2014 in order to aid John Cena in his match against Seth Rollins. In doing so, Roman Reigns quickly made an impact upon his return. He then eagerly declared his place in the upcoming Royal Rumble match.
But "The Head of the Table" probably wishes he could do this promo over again. "The Big Dog" not only tripped over his words and had to repeat the word declare, but he also obviously said the wrong line. This mistake took him out of character, as he simply stared at the screen for a few minutes.
"I'm here right now to be the first man to declare at The Royal Rumble match."
After a long pause, Roman Reigns talked about how he would take WWE by storm in 2015. Of course, he went on to win the 2015 Royal Rumble match and main-event WrestleMania. But this is one of the moments from the build-up that Roman Reigns would probably rather forget.
#5. "Suffering succotash son" - WWE RAW 2015
Back in January 2015, Roman Reigns was heading towards his first Royal Rumble victory. But Mr. Money in the Bank Seth Rollins was always in his rearview mirror because he could cash in his contract at any time and change the plans for WrestleMania.
Both men were on the fast track to stardom. The former Shield teammates had a heated confrontation on WWE RAW on January 9. Here, Roman Reigns interrupted his former friend to deliver one of the most memorable lines in WWE history.
"The Big Dog" arrived to tell Seth Rollins that he was full of himself. He then decided that "The Architect" was actually full of something else:
"You're just so full of yourself now, actually you're full of something else. You are a sniveling little suckup, sellout, full of suckering succotash, son. Yeah, I know that wasn't easy to say!"
It was perhaps one of the strangest lines that any wrestler has ever used in a feud. Despite Roman Reigns' current success, this promo will probably haunt him for the rest of his career.
