I would like to talk about a topic I feel is very pressing for this week. The fact that Roman Reigns would like to experiment a little bit with the versatility of his character and show more of his personality. He has claimed that his off-screen personality is very similar to that of his cousin’s, The Usos. Roman claims that all three of them are “big kids” and that all three of them like to goof off and have fun. I personally would be excited to see Roman broaden his horizons and include other elements to his character besides the “stoic brawler.” It would be refreshing to see him add another layer of depth to his character, perhaps a comedic one, and have the ability to entertain the WWE universe in a completely different way.
To sum it up, it’s different but I’m all for it. Here is a business idea for WWE: since Dean Ambrose is leaving after WrestleMania and WWE could be left without The Shield (although I have heard that Braun Strowman is going to be an honorary Shield member for at least a short time after ‘Mania), WWE could form a new Shield not involving Seth Rollins but instead form a Samoan Shield and involving Roman Reigns and the Usos. If their personalities are that similar, why not?
I could see the WWE universe getting behind it right from the get-go. It would also be a perfect way for Roman to expand his character and add yet another dimension. I can’t remember exactly where I read this, but I know for a fact that I’m not the first person to come up with this idea. It’s always hard for a company to move on from their bread and butter, but it has to be done at some time, why not now right after WrestleMania.
