Roman Reigns was an obvious WWE star pegged for greatness prior to the WWE Royal Rumble but things turned sour in the days leading to the said pay-per-view.
Reigns didn't do anything to screw that of course but it was more of a sudden insertion of Daniel Bryan into the mix which may have did him in.
Paul Heyman summed it all up when he appeared at the podcast of former UFC fighter Chael Sonnen the past week, believing that Bryan's return overshadowed the stage of Reigns.
It will be recalled that Reigns was long rumored to rule the Royal Rumble. But somehow that fateful night, fans booed him since many were hoping that it would be Bryan who would make a miraculous comeback after being out on account of a neck injury.
Things haven't been the same since then and while Reigns continues his dominating ways, it seems the fans have not gotten over that past.
The air was filled with that tension again prior to WWE Money in the Bank where Reigns was a favorite to win it. However, many feel that Reigns doesn't need the briefcase to figure in a title match and the WWE seemed to think so as well seeing that Sheamus won it in the end.
Had Reigns won again, it wouldn't be surprising to find the WWE Universe resenting him once more. Again, Reigns doesn't need it to be on top.
There is no telling when the time of Reigns will truly come, as a face wrestler that is. How about if Reigns turns into a heel? Would the fans matter?
Whatever the WWE plans for Reigns, timing is of the essence. Building Reigns and then injecting Bryan was a big setback and the end result is that Reigns is being booed and Bryan is once again out due to health reasons.
If Reigns is to get his push, the WWE may want to cover all the bases. That includes announcing the favorites like Daniel Bryan.
