WWE No Longer Doing Roman Reigns’ Crowd Entrance?
WWE may have nixed Roman Reigns’ crowd entrance. As seen on Monday’s episode of RAW, Reigns’ made his return to WWE television using the regular entrance instead of coming through the crowd like he’s done traditionally in the past.
At Tuesday’s WWE SmackDown tapings in Cincinnati, it was the same scenario, Reigns didn’t come through the crowd, instead he used the regular entrance ramp.

they dont want him getting hit with beer lol

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Finally. The Shield ended years ago

 

[elcheato]

they have to be turning him, this has to be it. 

 

[CameronCrazy06]

^ sarcasm?

 

[elcheato]

his entrance was like the one thing that connected him to the fans, and even if it was just an extension of the Shield, it was unique. 

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I don't know, I just don't see it.

 

[elcheato]

yea i don't either, but they have to do something, but i said this last year

 

[Pugz]

i dont think him coming down the ramp is because hes turning heel. they still want hunter to be the heel in this feud. i really think its because they dont want fans throwing stuff at him.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Nobody is going to throw anything. He won't face a crowd more hostile than Philly in 2015 and he was fine. That same crowd literally chanted "you deserve it" one year later.

 

[Pugz]

hes gotten beer tossed at him plenty of times in the last year..

it seems like guys soak their hair more and more as the years go on.

In all seriousness, at what point does Reigns get put in a sink or swim situation where he has to get over? He's been coddled for too long. Rollins and Ambrose were both able to get over on their own (you could argue Rollins wasn't on his own due to the Authority, but he was left on an island on the mic at times and drastically improved because of it).

Reigns needs to get over or get the fuck out of the way. If that's as a heel, so be it. But he has to do something.

 

[Pugz]

it needs to happen organically and its already been too long and even casual fans and kids can see that hes been force fed down our throats. i dont think hes ever going to be over, at least not for a while.

hes gonna get her cheers but hes going to be booed way more, and way louder(cena does too but thats different).

idk if even turning him heel works.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

What's crazy is they basically booked him the same way they did at TLC where he was cheered, which everyone agreed was out he SHOULD be booked, and he still got booed.

He needs to go heel. If he can't get over as a face two years in a row on the road to Mania, he's never going to make it this way.

 

[elcheato]

because they abandoned that booking the week after TLC, and the fans know they're going to go back to Reigns being a smiling goof as soon as he gets cheers again. 

 

[Pugz]

idk what kind of heel he can be at this point? if they make him the guy who hates everyone and hates the crowd because they didnt buy into him. he wont be able to be a face for a while. thats what they need to do but vince wont do that.
