Roman Reigns
The Roman Samoan continues to be the talk of the wrestling world for good or ill. How has he fared in the first quarter of this year?
Trending
Win/Loss Record: Roman splits it down the middle with seven televised losses versus that many defeats. Grade: C
Popularity: A polarizing figure much akin to John Cena, Roman Reigns always gets a response from the crowd. However, when fans chant 'this is awful' during your Wrestlemania match you might have problems. Grade: C
Championships: Reigns began the year with an Intercontinental title run and ended the quarter with back to back (unsuccessful) Universal title shots. Grade: B
Crossover Appeal: Reigns has a strong social media dialogue going about him at all times, but much of it is negative. Still, there's no such thing as bad press, even if the non-wrestling world is unlikely to know who he is. Grade: B
Overall Grade: C+ Reigns really needs to get a title reign or change direction with his character if he wants to move forward.
