Almost God like? Maybe...

I completely bored of him. Watching raw atm, and he's just taken apart both kane and rollins in a 2 on 1 match.

Might as well call him cena.

Pretty poor in the ring, boring storylines.

I'd say turn him heel and make him a monster, but the Bulgarian is doing a really good job of that so far.

Other thoughts?

Seems fine to me. He needs work but that'll come with time.  I could see him main eventing WrestleMania as the top face in a few years.

He's going to suffer from WWE syndrome. They find someone that the fans like, as well as them, then make him practically invincible and makes him do certain moves over and over. The Superman punch was and still is quite cool as no one else does it at the moment. But they keep on doing it at every opportunity it seems. I saw him clear the ring the other week of 3 people, all hit with the Superman punch. Why not use another move? Soon it will become just boring and it won't be the same anymore. Same with him overcoming all odds.

It's the same as what happened with Cena. Was great when he started out. Fans loved him, fans didn't mind a lot of his moves and they were getting pops. WWE see this and book him as unstoppable and repeatedly do the moves that got pops over and over again.

Ends up turning fans off. Don't know why they seem to think that these guys can't lose. 3 on 1 fight, I expect the 1 to lose. It's simple booking really, you book them to lose things like this and then book them to win one every now and then which would make the fans pop huge. As it is, it's expected and becomes boring. 2 on 1 fight? It's okay for the 1 to lose, he's out numbered after all. Fans are okay with it as it makes sense. Doesn't make the guy look weak at all unless he's completely destroyed by them without a chance.

Right now, I still like Reigns. Good a good look, some cool moves and his spear looks like it will break some ribs. But I can see them ruining him by shoving him down fans throats and making him Cena version 2. You can see the starts of it with him winning all the time, winning against the odds and being put in segments where he's making jokes with toilet humour (Vicki and laxatives). He really shouldn't be in segments like that. That will ultimately ruin his character.

So bored of him. But the worst thing is it ruins the ambrose/rollins feud. It makes both of them look weak and 2nd rate, whereas before I could see those two having a feud lasting years, now they just seem weak compared to reigns.

WWE has a monster. He's the current champ. We don't need 2. And a lesner/reigns feud would be dreadful. The money feud there is lesner/punk. I'd pay punk all kinds of money to come back and headlines next year's wrestlemania against lesner. Imagine the promos punk would build against lesner...

I'd much rather see a feud that elevates a current star and something we haven't seen before. Punk/Lesnar would be good but doesn't really help anyone who isn't already a massive star.

The plan is to make Reigns the new guy with a win over Lesnar at WrestleMania 31. They're doing a good job of getting to that point, but I have to agree with everyone else in here that it's not the way to go.

Reigns is totally fine, he's a good guy to have around. He's fine in the ring, fine on promos as long as they're kept short, and does have some presence. I was worried as far back as January that he'd end up becoming insufferable as the new Cena, and it appears to be going that way. They've decided that he's the guy so he's the guy, even though the fans right now have chosen Ambrose to be the guy. Cena has been doing his thing for a decade, the Reigns experiment is only just beginning. Sigh.

I don't get why Reigns didn't seem to care when Rollins broke the Shield. He just left them both behind and went after the title instead. Now, despite months of arguing late last year and into 2014, Reigns has decided that putting Ambrose's head through the cinder blocks was too much and so he hates Rollins too. Why are they now buddies again? I hope this was just a filler segment this week while other guys were away. Orton didn't show up in the arena, Jericho, Ambrose and Lesnar weren't there either. Maybe they just needed something for him to do.

Benjawi's right, there's nothing wrong with looking weak every so often, especially in a handicap situation. The more Reigns overcomes the odds the more people will start to resent him. He has to take a beating sometime.

Fro what I've seen Reigns is more popular than Ambrose, just internet nerds prefer Ambrose because he's the least likely to get a push.

Really? You must have heard the reactions to both guys at SummerSlam, and the next night? Ambrose's pops were huge, Reigns' were polite at best.

I'm not sure I watched the Raw after Summerslam but every time I've seen it Dean Ambrose hasn't had any pops that made me be like "wow this guys over" but Roman Reigns has. You might have a case of selective hearing.

Did you not see this?

Or even better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=p … 3Is#t=1811

Meanwhile, Reigns gets the opener because that's when the fans will be hottest.

But anyway, the real test will be in 6-12 months when the push isn't quite so new and fresh. Soon enough people will start to get bored of Reigns always overcoming the odds, just like they did with Cena. It'll really hit when Reigns has to work a respected heel. If he's lucky he can ride this until clashing with Lesnar, but when that happens he'll be lucky to get a 50/50 reaction.

Mid Card

Reigns is tagged as 'the next guy.' He has an 'it' factor, but he needs to work hard at his promos and his move set. But, honestly, you can't make everyone happy. Everyone was a huge D-Bry fan, then when he won, a lot of people were like 'how is this little guy winning believable?' I think that wwe needs to strike while the iron is hot on Reigns, him being the least experienced of the Shield. Same with Rollins, he was the least 'star-like' member of the shield (phenomenal wrestling skills aside). Now wwe is pushing Reigns and Rollins, because, IMO, Ambrose can get over at any time (if they let him) – he's like 1/2 piper, 1/2 pullman, and reigns and rollins need to catch fire. People are talking about Cena going part time because he's so banged up, and www need another monster/superstar – since Lesnar probably won't be around after next Wrestlemania.

I could see Reigns winning at Mania, Rollins eventually beating Reigns with the MITB sneakiness, and then Ambrose eventually taking the title from Rollins.
