Emerging from the Monday Night Raw entrance stage instead of through the live crowd, Roman Reigns surveyed the scene before making his way to the ring. Inside the squared circle, Triple H was fresh from a match against Dolph Ziggler, but looked ready to fight his chief rival.
Initially, fan response seemed largely favourable. There were screams of delight upon seeing Reigns, mainly from females, but all that would change once the top contender for the WWE World Heavyweight Title made his way into the ring. Upending ‘The Game’, Reigns began landing blow after blow to the champion. As if by magic, any cheering disappeared, replaced by noticeable booing from the crowd.
This is a major problem, and it’s one many have foreseen over the past number of months. WWE’s core fan base just doesn’t see Roman Reigns as the top babyface in the company, regardless of how much management would like them to.
Over in one of WWE’s other main feuds, Dean Ambrose and Brock Lesnar appear to be heating up to a solid Street Fight come WrestleMania 32. Is there a case to be made that those men would greatly help ‘Mania’s WWE Title main event? If nothing else, they’d add some much needed balance to what is a potentially disastrous situation for WWE.
