We have a rumor to pass your way in regards to the current creative direction of Roman Reigns. On the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer says that WWE is trying to tell the story of management screwing over Reigns as a way for fans to cheer him.
Here is a quote from Meltzer (h/t to Ringside News):
“They’re trying to tell the story and I can’t believe it because they’ve been trying for a couple of months, but they’re still trying to tell the story that [Roman Reigns] is Daniel Bryan and management is screwing him over and that’s why he’s not the champion. But nobody buys it.”
“They’re trying to figure out a way to get people to cheer him. We’re supposed to think that all these things that happened — the whole thing that they favor Brock Lesnar but it didn’t work. I guess for whatever reason even though it didn’t work nobody has a better idea so that’s what they’re going with.”
If this is indeed the plan, it looks like fans shouldn’t expect a character change for Reigns anytime soon.
Your thoughts?
of course he isnt turning heel..if he was going to turn heel they wouldnt mute the boos and say we are in bazaaro land when he gets booed..vince is just plum stupid…the only full time guy to pin taker clean at mania and main event 4
straight wms is clearly being held back by management like bryan.
