5 Things The WWE Universe Doesn't Want To Admit About Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns.

The name alone is enough to send a WWE fan running to a computer to talk about how awful he is and while fans do have a right to their opinion, how much of that opinion is based on reality? Furthermore, how realistic is it for Roman Reigns to be the top guy now that WWE has failed to establish him about for or five times now.

With that being said, and Reigns continuing to be a polarizing figure in The WWE, here are five things The WWE Universe doesn't want to admit about Roman Reigns. In the end, it is up to The WWE Universe to decide who they ultimately want to throw their support to, but should consider if their biases from previous experiences are getting in the way.

#5 Very Polarizing

Its no secret that Roman Reigns is still a diamond in the rough and in need of some serious polishing before he becomes the top guy. But its not like he doesn't have some things down. In fact, it is becoming more and more obvious that Reigns is becoming very good at getting both a positive and a negative reaction from fans.

While some might see that as a bad thing, especially since it means that some fans don't buy him as the top guy, the people that are buying him as one is growing and that's a good thing. In the end, WWE doesn't have to win over everyone and should continue to try to win other fans over by expanding his character like they have been.

#4 Has great matches.

Another thing that Reigns has on his side is the ability to have great matches, which seems to also be slowly gaining him respect from The WWE Universe. Of course, this isn't always the case and Reigns is known to have a stinker now and again, but his ability to thrill mystify fans is nothing to just bat an eye at.

From his hellish superman punch that is capable of knocking his opponent out cold to his spear that can leave them breathless, his matches are fun to watch no matter what you think of him. In the end, some of might have to do with how much Roman Reigns is criticized, but he always seems to have the fans on the edge of their seats when he performs.

#3 Much better promo

Roman Reigns has traveled a long road in regards to his ability to talk on the microphone, but he has definitely gotten better at it over the last couple of years. While fans usually pointed to his Jack in The Beanstalk promo early in his career as proof that he couldn't cut a promo, that doesn't seem to be the case anymore.

In fact, once WWE reduced his talking time and focused more on making what he does say have more of impact, he has done a lot better than before. Of course he always has the occasional downer like his one about Bob in July, but those are quickly becoming the exception to the rule of Reigns generally being impactful on the microphone.

#2 A win against him means something

Roman Reigns, Finn Balor, — Let's be honest. A win

Think about it!

When WWE wanted to establish Finn Balor as a threat to The Universal Title during his first week on the roster what did they do? They gave him a win over Roman Reigns, which was enough to signal to The WWE Universe that Balor was indeed a big deal. With that being said, it is hard to deny that a win against Roman Reigns means something today.

Another example of this was at Extreme Rules in July, where Reigns lost to a returning Bobby Lashley to and looked like a million bucks afterwards. In the end, fans might hate Roman Reigns' character, the fact that he has been over pushed at times, but even they should realize that if WWE gives a superstar a win over him, it absolutely means something.

#1 Reigns has the look.

Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns, — Doesn't Roman Reigns have the look of a champion?

Speaking of things that The WWE Universe can't deny, it is absolutely impossible to say that Roman Reigns doesn't have the look of a top guy in The WWE. Not only is that evident by his jet black hair, all black attire, and his sometimes heelish attitude, but also by his size, his speed and his ability to go long amounts of time uninjured.

If nothing else, Roman Reigns is one of the few people in WWE that actually doesn't look out of place in a match against Brock Lesnar. With that being said and Lesnar's impending exit from WWE for awhile, it should go without saying that WWE is in need of a guy with a similar look after Lesnar's exit and Reigns in that guy.

In the end, he has the athleticism, the speed, the agility, the build and everything WWE wants in a top guy. The only person stopping that from happening is The WWE Universe, who seem to be running out of reasons for hating Reigns and will have to deal with the reality of him on top sooner or later.
