5 ways WWE can make fans cheer for Reigns

Roman Reigns walks into Wrestlemania knowing, we assume, pretty well that he’ll be booed off. No matter how much he’s improved, no matter how much WWE is being careful with his mic skills, the hardcore fans can be immensely stubborn.And since Brock Lesnar has signed a new, long-term contract with the WWE, it darn well means that Lesnar will be favored to win at the main event of Wrestlemania. But reports still suggest that Reigns is still in the good books of the higher ups and believe it or not- him walking out of Wrestlemania as the Champ is a major indication towards the company taking a new direction.Here are five ways WWE can make fans cheer for Reigns.

#1 Bring some reality

What’s the Reality Era without many non-fictional details makingit into the fictional realm of the WWE? Sure, they’ve included his rich,illustrious family history and the story they’ve followed has been all about how he can’t really hold a candle to his family, how he’ll be the biggest disappointment his accomplished family has ever witnessed. 

On the other hand, he ‘s a young man, a young father who is working hard to provide for his family. He’s just another employee who has been given a life-changing opportunity and who woudn’t take that, despite being ready or not.

The picture above is from his Wrestlemania diary and it speaks a thousand words. It’s poignant for the fact that Reigns will walk to more boos than cheers in that stadium which won’t remain empty for long. The presence of his daughter makes this even more evocative.
