What the title says. Do you think Roman Reigns will be a Main eventer one day and more importantly, will he be a star?
Take into consideration his rise from Inexperienced Rookie to what he is today in a short time.

"WIll Roman Reign?"
"Roman Reigns, the bruiser or the enforcer of the Shield, is one of breakout stars this year in the WWE. He’s evolved from simply the “Big Man” of the Shield, to what appears to be the cool, silent, badass Leader of the Shield. When he first started, he was seen as the weak link of the Shield by many fans (mostly internet fans, the IWC [Internet Wrestling Community]) when compared to teammates Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins. Ambrose was often praised for his crazy, almost joker-like character when in FCW and for a short stint in the independent circuit (also known as ‘the indies’), and Rollins was praised for his in-ring prowess, in-ring style, and athleticism he displayed also in FCW and in the indies (where he was known as Tyler Black). Reigns was just…that new guy that wasn’t Kassius Ohno AKA Chris Hero (who many wanted to be the third member of the shield).
In many of the IWC’s minds, Reigns was simply too green (inexperienced), not good on the mic, “probably” sucked in the ring and was simply leeching off of Ambrose and Rollins. But regardless, Reigns remained a big part of the Shield, delivering the saving ‘Spear’ when they needed it and being the base, the main member involved, in the patented Triple Powerbomb. So Shield debuted and began competing against big names such as Ryback (at the time), John Cena, Sheamus, Randy Orton, Big Show, and yes (or should I say Yes!) Daniel Bryan himself. During this time, Shield was mostly victorious, but more importantly, Reigns was both improving and PROVING himself in the ring, at least as part of a team. However, some still doubted Reigns in one on one matches and some straggling skeptics still do.
Then Reigns was given more time, more one on one matches (Daniel Bryan, Mark Henry, CM Punk), and more lines in Shield promos. Eventually, due to his sheer intensity, his presence, and his execution of his moves, Reigns got over. The biggest moment, the turning point, was in Survivor Series where Reigns beasted and singlehandedly eliminated 4 men on the opposing team to win the match (He tied the record for Survivor Series btw). I believe that people saw in Reigns what they saw in Goldberg and Lesnar and others like them, simply put, the “It Factor”.
He began getting chants, even as a heel, when the Shield came out. He began getting hyped by the IWC as the next best thing, and as the next face of the WWE. He began getting nicknames (like Roman g*****n Reigns, Roman f*****g Reigns, The Beast, etc.), and more importantly he started becoming peoples’ favorite member of the Shield, and even one of their favorite members of the entire roster.
Maybe it’s because of his football background, but the way Roman Reigns delivered the spear was amazing, the best since Goldberg or Rhino in my opinion. That, in addition to the way he emphasized his moves, the way he posed like a cocky heel, his underrated strength (see his match as Leakee where he double samoan dropped his two teammates, Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins in their triple threat match) the way he roared like an unleashed monster, that awesome Leaping Dropkick (delivered to an opponent who is laying under the bottom rope by Reigns from outside the ring), and of course, his earth-shattering Superman Punch, won the fans over. And WWE either noticed, or accelerated whatever plans they had for pushing him, because soon after he became the focus of the Shield.
It mainly started as normal stables do; the bigger guy is the enforcer and thus looks better against big stars and whatnot. Then it evolved to Reigns looking like the leader at certain times (the first Wyatt/Shield facedown and pretty much ever since), beating big names (CM Punk, Mark Henry) where his teammates couldn’t, and his record-breaking performance at the Royal Rumble where he broke Kane’s elimination record of 11 (Roman had 12) and was one of the final two along with Batista. Reigns would continue to look like he was on a higher level, again leading the Shield against the Wyatts and looking like the most impressive member (despite their loss), physically overpowering John Cena when trapped in the STF, and leading them in the backstage skits and promos.
Overall, Roman Reigns has the look, the presence, the physical charisma to be a star, and WWE sees that. He also has been rapidly improving and has a repertoire of visually impressive moves, a style that exudes intensity and beastliness, and he’s pretty decent on the mic (IMO his silent but badass delivery fits him), and fans see that.
I believe Roman will Reign and that he does in fact have next. He has the backing of WWE clearly, he has the connections (being the Rock’s cousin), he has the look, he has the skills, and he has the fan support. The Era of Justice will come. Believe in that.

TL:DR Reigns went from a nobody to a fan favorite and from an inexperienced rookie to someone who can put on good matches.

? love him, and he getting better and better. He has potential to be like his cousin
-
He got the look to be a star but his in ring work not good at the moment.
-
He will improve, as he's been doing, and yes, will be a big star.
-
-
There is always the chance he goes the way of ryback but if e actually improves he has a shot.
-
From what little I've seen, his mic skills suck(!), so it's too hard to tell right now. Randy Orton seems to be doing okay and his mic skills are suspect as well.
Lol @ him being as good as the Rock, some of y'all just be saying ? . -
Nowhere near Rocky status.
son has the look but is still green, out off all his family members in the WWE at the moment he has the best chance at been a top guy but the Usos wrestling ability >>>his -

Damn, you think he has potential to be The Rock aka The GOAT? He's good, but I don't see him as THAT good.dalyricalbandit wrote: »Nowhere near Rocky status.

I mean, yeah Usos got better complete ring work, but he got them in both intensity and in having better 'big' moves like his Superman Punch and his Spear. Oh and that nasty dropkick he does.
-
He'll get buried in a year
-
His fans will eventually grow tired of him cause he has no personality. Dudes just highly overrated.
The USOs are just a dope ass tag team on a completely different level. They are just unfuckwitable. -
if he's gonna do anything, he better hurry up. There's a 7 footer in NXT that is gonna take alot of guys "shine" once he gets called up.

What's his name? -
Nah I wouldn't take it that fat
-
He'll definitley get a push somewhere down the line he just has to prove that he can put on good 1on1 matches cuz Rollins and Ambrose make him look better
-
if only dude was a beast on the mic.....cuz he got evrything else.....
that kick from out the ring is sick -
Of course he'll be a big star.
Alot of guys are being narrowminded in here.
The Rock was technically never a great wrestler either but he knew how to sell very well later on, develop his character, and play on the crowds emotions.
Hogan, Warrior, Sid, Nash..
Batista isnt a technical marvel either but can work.
As for mic skills, remember Bret?
So ya he just needs to develop his strengths, and see if he can work single matches also.
I personally overall would take Seth Rollins though, but you can see why WWE want the spotlight on Roman. -

Ya bro. Ive been into bodybuilding about for as long as wrestling and honestly, bodybuilding is all about doing the work and doing it consistently and learning how to rest the muscles and feeding them properly without roiding... -
