Does anyone think Roman Reigns may get the 2005 Batista Push

[Deleted]

...during this year? I'm starting to think Reigns actually has a great chance of winning The 2014 Rumble now and walking away Wrestlemania as WWE Champion.

I don't know, maybe it was discussed in the 2 page Roman Reigns appreciation thread on this page.

He's my early favorite to win the 2015 Rumble.

Ya I'd rather see this. Give him the slowish build Cena got from 04-05 instead

I'm glad he made this. I'm not going to sully the appreciation thread with my negativety.

I hope he doesn't. He has a cool spear and is intense. So was Rhino. Why wasn't he champ?

Don't let my comparison sour you, it's my first thought. I like Roman. I do. I'm just not seeing "breakout superstar" like everyone else does yet. I haven't seen last nights show though and most people are citing that as his breakout. I'm more than willing to be wrong, but I just am not excited about it. He's protected in tag mathces, I want to see him run on his own for a bit before I proclaim anything.

I was just discussing this with my brother last night. He could win the Rumble because he was in there as insurance, but then decide he's really earned his shot and from Rumble to Mania, they slowly transform him into the main eventer he should be.

[A Platypus Rave]

No, not this year at least.

[Magic knows Black Lives Matter]

I hope WWE is smart enough to not him have win the 2014 Rumble. He should put on a great showing, absolutely, but he shouldn't win. 2015 is gonna be his year though.

[The Tank]

Like everyone else said, '15 Rumble at the earliest.

This year's too soon.

Best he should be doing is taking the US Title from Ambrose if the SHIELD explodes.

[onetruemisfit]

Should he beat kanes record for most eliminations?

[mizerable]

Way too early. Give a year or so and maybe. I'm tired of the rocket ship to the main even, only to squander there and become a bland uninteresting persona because you've accomplished everything within that first few months of your big push.

[Crappler El 0 M]

I could see him getting the Diesel (1994) or Kane (2001) spot in the Rumble. He doesn't win, but he has the most eliminations.

[Bub (BLM)]

Way too early. They developed Cena and Batista on the main roster for three years before putting World titles on them. It pays to be patient.

Yeah, he should.

[BRAINFADE]

Just like everyone else says, it's still a bit too early for him. It's not a race, let him develop a bit more. Let him have a good showing in this year's Rumble though, maybe the most eliminations of the night.

2015 will be his year. It's an absolute no-brainer- Roman Reigns is money.

The problem with Rhino at that time was he was a shorter guy with a history of neck problems and couldn't cut a promo he was in an era where it was bigger guys holding the title. Roman on the other hand I want him to have the build Cena did have him first instead of U.S. title go for Intercontinental capture that first, he has charisma, a legacy, can cut promos, and is what Vince likes a big guy that can actually move I do see a bright future ahead for Roman

Because Rhino was not booked well, and Reigns is Because Reigns has "It" obviously and Rhino doesn't!!!


Couldn't be more bored by wrestlers like Reigns, personally. I've said it before, but he brings zero to the table other than intensity. If you like intensity, then I guess you'll like him, though I don't understand that at all. Especially with nothing else there.

I see Reigns beating Ambrose for the US Belt this year.

Mania XXX could be to Reigns what Mania XX was to John Cena.
Which would mean the following year, he gets the BIG one.

[Essential1]

He should have a Diesel rumble push where he goes crazy eliminating people(powerbombing someone onto guys already eliminated)until he is sneakily eliminated by Ambrose or Rollins.

Stop talking about the 2015 Royal Rumble, I feel like my life is speeding by.

f*** you Roman Reigns now I'm all bummed out and shit.
