Reigns is the future.
He won't win the title tomorrow but he will win the title eventually. It's not a matter of if but when.

The earliest he is getting the title is WM 31 and it isn't like he has no experience, he has been wrestling for 4 years. 4 years is short as hell in the wrestling business, he spent two years jobbing, and 2 years making hot tags.

Huh? Who thinks Reigns is winning the title at Battleground? There's only one man walking out with the title tomorrow... Exactly. I like Reigns, too, but OP, you're right. It's not time yet. It will be inside of a year, though. And I'm okay with that.

I don't like to find myself evaluating talent. I'm not a talent evaluator or booker in the world of professional wrestling. I'm simply a fan. I won't stress myself or freak out when "my guys" don't get what "I want." I will simply watch, poke a little fun sometimes, and try to enjoy it the best I can. Bottom line is, Reigns will eventually win the championship regardless of what anyone thinks about his wrestling or promo ability. If you can't watch and enjoy WWE like a fan, then either watch another promotion, or stop watching. WWE is pretty much going to do what it wants most of the time, regardless of who likes it or not. If I care about something I'm passionate about, I'm not going to be a passive observer. I'm thoughtful and reflect on the product because if you aren't, then you're just a sheep. Many mainstream decisions I agree with, and others I don't. I was just bringing up this topic because a saw a lot of people saying they were expecting Reigns to win the title this soon.

Reigns is really good but he can still use some improvement before being the champion. Rollins and Ambrose have progressed a lot more than Reigns has since the end of the shield. IMO

He's gonna get the strap eventually, might as well just accept it.

Obviously Reigns is going to get the strap and become the face of the WWE or the clear cut #2 guy behind Cena very soon.Over the last month or two he has been headlining house shows and most of the RAW's,Smackdown's and the four PPV's counting tomorrow night show sense Wrestlemania.Now due I think he'll win the title tomorrow night NO.But I would have zero issues if they did give him the strap tomorrow.He's pretty close to being read and can grow as champion while getting better in the promo departement and in terms of his ring work as champion.The WWE did the same thing with Cena and Batista nearly a decade ago.Both weren't truly ready to be "THE MAN" but they were giving the world titles and work with top talent like HHH,Angle,Jericho,JBL...ect and became great all around talents and worthy main eventers.

We got to remember Cena, Orton, or Batista weren't ready when they originally got their pushes. I do not think they should push him this quickly. Still needs work as stated in another thread. Cena and Batista were ready. Orton wasn't, which was why his reign only lasted a month. Do you think Sheamus was for his first run?

I His mic work needs work. He can hold his own in the ring, with his comic-book style of action and ridiculous mannerisms. I'll give him that - he gets the crowd excited. But I think this is way too soon for him to win the title. Let the guy get a few upper mid-card and main event level feuds first. I'd say he should feud with Kane for a few months, then feud with Orton for a few months, perhaps Rollins for a few months, and THEN finally face Triple H at WrestleMania, where Triple H will put Reigns over. Reigns does NOT need the WWE Championship just yet. He's just getting started. WWE needs him or another young talent to break out in the worst way right now. It isn't the company's fault that Daniel Bryan's health issues came at such an inconvenient time, but it is their fault that they have gone right back to the same tired, overexposed wrestlers and storylines. The longer WWE stays rooted in the past, the lower RAW's ratings will go.

Randy Orton was World Champion in 4 years, The Rock was World Champion in 3 years, Kurt Angle was World Champion in 2 years, Lesnar was World Champion in less than 2 years, and Goldberg was World Champion in 1 year. He is without a doubt more prepared than two of those men. He is over, he is decent in the ring, he is alright on the mic, and he has the look.

I don't really care who wins the title at this point. Haven't been interested in a world title match since Sandow failed cashing in.

Hulk Hogan also won his first Heavyweight Title in 1979, two years after debuting.

Name one above average singles match of his. Good on the mic? Assess and attack? Just no. Sure, he's over, but much less so than Dean Ambrose, so how about we put it on him.

So let me get this straight everyone was bitching. That wwe went with Cena instead of Reigns,waytt, or cesaro to win the mitb title match. So now Reigns has a small chance to win and the same people are bitching. And you wonder why WWE doesn't listen to you. it because all of you truly don't know what the you want.

I don't think it's all that wrong to have an opinion on something you invest time and money in. If you think you know better than trained professionals on everything which is largely not bad, then you may have a problem. I personally am not a fan of what I have seen from Roman Reigns in terms of star power or great in ring prowess, he is young and still has a lot of time to improve but at this point I haven't been absolutely stunned by a singles match of his.

Whether he's ready for it or not, it's going to happen eventually. I don't think it'll be tonight because I think Triple H will cost him, thus setting up their match at Summerslam. No doubt we will have seen him already win and most likely lose his first title by this time next year though.
