5 Things WWE Needs to Do to Make Roman Reigns Legendary!
tribal leader character
Roman Reigns is probably the biggest superstar in all of modern wrestling. Since 2020, his "Tribal Leader" persona has allowed him to exceed all fan expectations.
Reigns defeated Brock Lesnar in the main event of WrestleMania 38 to become the Undisputed WWE World Champion. He entered the show as the Universal Champion and left with the same title and the WWE Championship. This is an unprecedented achievement that has made him a megastar.
However, as massive as his almost two-year reign was, not everything was perfect. Reigns is a dominant champion, but given how prone he is to avoiding fights and letting his cousins do the dirty work for him, fans might conclude that he's probably not as great as he claims to be.
How Roman Reigns becomes legendary
With that in mind, here are five things the WWE can do to make Reins' championship even more iconic.
5) Let him hold titles until WrestleMania 39.
Roman Reigns has dealt ruthlessly with contenders for his universe title for many months. He was the main eventor for WrestleMania 37 and 38 as a champion. However, his win at the last show saw him walk away with two titles, which had never happened before.
The WWE has a habit of not letting big champions 'steep' like good wine and quickly stripping them of their won privileges. Becky "2 Belts" was a historical figure who was quickly killed by the company, causing Lynch to lose one belt. The same goes for Seth Rollins, who held both the WWE World Championship and the US Championship, when he quickly lost the last title to John Cena.
Considering how attractive Roman Reigns is, WWE could let him hold both world titles until WrestleMania 39. They could let someone dethrone him on the show, which would instantly make the person who does it a megastar. But until then, they must let the Chief of the Tribe remain with gold on both shoulders.
4) Defeat several legends.
The WWE love their legends and the Hall of Famers. They always do their best to never completely forget about them.
There's one thing the WWE knows how to do, and that's using legends to take the title off the belt. Performers such as Goldberg and Lita were strong contenders for the top champions and beat them. But can you do the opposite too?
The advantage of this idea is that fans can see the dream match. Who would not want to see the same Steve Austin showing middle fingers to Roman? The only point is that Reigns is required to win such matches, which will give him the status of a wrestling demigod.
3) Let him continue his unbridled winning streak.
Surprisingly, the last time Roman Reigns was held was in December 2019. The fact is simply incredible, especially when you remember that the person who did this was King Corbin.
Since then, no one else has kept Reigns' shoulders on the mat for up to three seconds. This is indicative of the strongest booking for Roman's character, and WWE should make the most of it and make it a big event, perhaps comparable to The Undertaker's famous WrestleMania win streak.
2) Let Roman miss out on some PPVs and title defenses for k-feb reasons.
We are all big fans of Roman Reigns, who is a mega-star champion and is constantly in front of our eyes, participating in segments, dark matches and more. This cannot but inspire respect.
However, what if you take the risk and say that it would be quite intriguing if Reigns decided to boycott certain PPVs or arbitrarily not show up for title defense matches? It would fit well with his character. Plus, skipping some of the shows would make every Reinz appearance even more special.
1) Defeat Seth "Freakin" Rollins cleanly in a title match.
Even the most experienced people have some weaknesses, insecurities or kryptonite. For Roman Reigns, it might be his old Shield teammate, Seth "Freakin" Rollins.
Although Reigns had several victories over Rollins, none of them came at a time when the championship was on the line. In fact, "Tribal Leader" lost to "Visionary" in all championship meetings, including their last battle at Royal Rumble 2022.
Therefore, Reigns must face his nemesis and beat him cleanly in a title match.
