Vince McMahon,
How can Vince McMahon get Roman Reigns over if they keep pushing him too fast?

WWE definitely made a mistake by pushing Roman Reigns down fans throats immediately following the breakup of The Shield and Reigns proved almost instantly that he was wasn't ready for the spot. Not only that, he also suffered an injury month into his singles push, which completely derailed any momentum the big dog had built up.

Even worse, WWE still had him win The Royal Rumble match that coming January, which angered fans due to the fact that they thought Daniel Bryan deserved the win. Reigns eventually defeated Bryan for the opportunity to go on to WrestleMania to take on Brock Lesnar for The WWE title, but fans were still not behind Reigns at all.

In the end, WWE was forced to change plans and have Seth Rollins cash in his Money in The Bank contract during the main event match between Reigns and Lesnar, which allowed Rollins to pin Reigns and win his first ever WWE championship. Reigns continued to chase the title for months but were ultimately unsuccessful.

With that being said, WWE has been forced multiple times to change plans due to Reigns not being over with the crowd, and believe it or not, a lot of that has to do with The WWE repeatedly pushing Reigns way too fast. Maybe that will change one day once WWE has a concrete plan in place for Reigns, but not with the half-baked ideas the company is coming up with right now.
