WWE is reported to be working on new plans to achieve favorable crowd reactions for Roman Reigns as part of their years-long quest to coronate him as the company’s newest top star, according to the Wrestling Observer.
The Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer reported that the current storyline of Roman Reigns claiming he is being held down by management is their newest plan to recreate the Daniel Bryan vs. The Authority feud from 2013-2014. The company believes by recreating the Bryan underdog storyline with Reigns constantly being “screwed” by management, crowds will start to rally behind Reigns and generate a very positive response when he eventually overcomes the odds to win the Universal Championship.
Meltzer also said that it is currently unknown if Kurt Angle will be turning heel as part of this plan. He also stated that while fans are currently not buying into the storyline, the company is still fully committed to the plans.
