WWE RAW 22nd February 2016 - 3 Things that did not work

The McMahons sharing the spotlight on RAWIt was a tremendously fun episode of Raw which was marked by one of the biggest returns of the year and in a while. It was also marked by the main event storyline being something where fans are arduously booing the babyface and cheering every attack put forth by the heel.The time when Wrestlemania fever begins is upon us. The journey is officially underway and two more matches were made official. But there were initial glitches as well, one especially so jarring, that we really don’t know how it’s going to survive until Wrestlemania.Here are the 3 things that did not work

#1 Roman Reigns - The King. Not

Roman Reigns is not someone you can call a hero – he’s not. He’s a great performer with a great presence but the people are just not behind him. Triple H decimated Reigns to the point that the Samoan was busted open.

The crowd cheered every moment of it. They cheered when the heel in the narrative took Reigns down and gave him quite a beating on the road to Wrestlemania. How is Wrestlemania supposed to be Reigns’ coronation if this is how he’ll be met by the fans?

And rest assured, Dallas will have a fair share of such fans.

This night was just testament to how WWE just don’t know how to do what they are trying to do with Reigns and that’s getting him over as the face of the company.
