I think a major problem is that WWE constantly puts him with big guys and makes them do a slow hoss match. Roman doesn't work that style well. He can work well with smaller guys because he can work at that pace. His matches with Bryan, AJ, Seth, and Dean prove that. I think a major detriment to him that WWE did was pairing him with guys like Big Show and Kane who have to work super slow.
Honestly speaking, All Braun does are running attacks or tossing guys.

That's one of my bigger issues with him in the ring. I like the Superman Punch, and I like the spear, but when you're doing both, it's the same setup and makes me wonder why you wouldn't do your finish. It's like when Bobby Eaton would do the top rope knee drop. Cool move, but why not just Alabama Jam while you're at it? Too late now, but the Spear shouldn't have been his finish. hell just drop it... his merchandise and Logo are all about the Superman Punch.

He is capable of having good matches but his matches bore the crap out of me his matches should be way better seeing he works 99% of the time with the best people wwe has and their main goal is making him look good.To me in this day and age you need to be great at something to be a true top guy but Roman isn’t a great talker,he’s a very dull character and a lot of his matches are very average the only thing he seems to be great at is conditioning his hair I’m a fair man and I’ll give kudos when warranted even if I’m not a fan of that particular person and that is some well conditioned hair but it doesn’t make me care about him or his matches.

Roman is a dude with a lot of talent who's stuck working a crappy style and boxed into a role where he's not allowed to do much of anything else. "WWE style" is still a thing, but it's one that has been dramatically eased up on and reduced in the past few years, but with Roman, he's working a caricature of that style and not much else. It's a disservice to him, really. Pretty much this for me
Dude can go and when he has to but as you said he's a caricature of the style that really isn't the style anymore

They present him as a powerhouse, but really he only works his glam muscles. You need thickness to be a powerhouse and he has a bit of chunk (i dont think his vest is hiding moobs and a gut, like most here seem to) but nowhere near a Lashley, Brock, Matt Morgan etc. He certainly isn't hiding any fat under there but for a powerhouse guy he lacks any real definition, particularly when compared to guys like Rollins and Cena, who have insane muscle definition on slightly smaller frames.

Some sort of submission, like a cobra clutch that Mozenrath mentioned or even something basic like a Boston crab, would help out his matches a ton. I don't mind Roman being a knock out artist, and he does have the presence of a main eventer. My issue with him is that his moveset still lacks variety.
And there are plenty of great workers who don't have a million moves, but Roman's a case where more versatility would be beneficial.

The way I see Roman has only one good match.If he gets to go buckwild hardcore hard-hitting.(I don`t count being ragdolled by lesnar until Seth cashes in a good match).
Guy has no stamina too.

I said this awhile ago, maybe it still applies, but I think Reigns works best as the hot tag guy, especially given his running/high impact moveset. Sure, he does alright in gimmick matches, but there's also enough Sturm und Drang in those kinds of matches to paper over any problems in his singles game when he's in basic matches.

Not gonna lie. I love his Drive By kick. It just looks so badass.
But I think if he changed up his finisher, as well as his moveset a little, I think it would work a little better. Going off by WWE Champions (that was a fun game), his old finisher was the Moment of Silence, which looked like a back suplex into a chokeslam, or the Ore Ga Taue. That would be a great finisher. Also, I've never seen him do a spinebuster, which I would think would suit him well.

Roman's workrate is like everything else with Roman, so mixed up you don't know what he wants to be. One week he's super resilient man, next he's super strong guy, next super agile guy.

And there are plenty of great workers who don't have a million moves, but Roman's a case where more versatility would be beneficial. The Super Man Punch as a signature and the Spear as a finish are really redundant, if nothing else. They are both running strikes, so it doesn't really do anything for him to have both of those moves. Whereas Cena has a Submission alt finish to compliment his "front grapple" finish, or Styles having his Phenomenal Forearm, Calf Crusher, and Styles Clash moves all being wildly different moves with different set ups.
