Not my idea, but I think it is very interesting and it could work.

have him face John Cena at WrestleMania. Daniel Bryan wins the Royal Rumble, wins the belt at WM. It gives Cena a much better match and Save Rusev's first lost to go to someone who needs it *coughsRybackcough*

The corny, shitty, almost John Cena comedy style promos Reigns has been force to say. Continue doing that with him. Continue building him up as a Superman like guy. Superman vs Superman match at WrestleMania. Keep both guys face going into match. Have it been about Cena testing Reigns, seeing if Reigns is truly the next face of the WWE. If Reigns win it will be like the passing of the torch. However Reigns doesn't win. John Cena defeats Reigns at WM.

Next night on RAW. Reigns comes down to the ring, very pissed off about his lost. He has his slammy and a sheet of paper in his hand. Reigns takes the mic and starts going off, dropping a Reigns work shoot.

He talk about how Vince promised to make him the face of the wwe. All he had to do was follow Vince's orders and Vince will turn him into the next Cena. He did everything Vince told him to do, but he isn't WWE champion like Vince said he was going to be. Talk about how much of an ass he made of himself reading the promos Vince McMahon wrote for him. *Holds up the sheet of paper* He yells out he doesn't need Vince to write his promos, he isn't the rock. he can do his own promos.
Talks about how embarrassing and humiliating it was trying to be like Cena, trying to be the next John Cena. He doesn't want to be the next John Cena, he is going to be the only Roman Reigns. No more faking smiles, no more bugs bunny bullcrap, no more telling bed time stories. Its time to do what Roman Reigns does best. Kick ass.  
the superstar of the year slammy is nothing to him, it's just represents the fantasies senile old man trying to recreate his man crush with him. *tosses the slammy out of the ring*
Last night was the biggest embarrassment of his career, losing to John Cena. However The Reigns Cena fought last night isn't the real Roman Reigns. He calls out John Cena and tells him let the Real Roman Reigns kick his ass.

Cena comes out, tries to calm Reigns down. Saying they had a good match, everyone must face loses in their careers. tells him they can go talk about it over a beer like friends. Reigns can reply. "I'm Your Friend John" Then begins to beat the holy fuck out of Cena.

This can either turns Reigns heel...or...let this be the beginning of a John Cena heel turn. Not into the typical heel bullshit. John Cena goes from the goody 2 shoes, boyscout Superman...into Gods Among Us Superman like.

What do you think?

Reigns vs Cena I think would be a good match.


Stop right there dead...allow me to write your comment for you.

"Hurr hurr, no it won't. Reigns and Cena sucks. It will be shitty because they are shitty. Hurr Hurr"

Sounds too much like something Vince Russo would write

Reigns vs Cena would be good. Could be great.

because it's a work shoot?

Exactly

so then CM Punk's pipebomb is something Russo would write then?

I don't think Punk's pipe bomb exposed wrestling.

Bringing out a script does. In fact it would be ammo for the people who say "You know it's scripted, right?"

How about calling Triple H paul levesque? bringing up real life issues. Saying people like Clay are playing characters? The fact work horses like Tyson kidd are getting buried?

Yeah WWE is pretty stupid

Because it was CM Punk it was alright, but someone like Roman Reigns doing it is not alright?

Triple H has been known to threaten to beat the crap out of people for calling him Paul.

I looked all over my room to find my CM Punk Best In The World DVD just to watch that promo again to see if you're right

I watched it again and it's one of the greatest promos ever. It's not a worked shoot it's a shoot.

But CM Punk doesn't ever say he's going off script. In fact a real nice touch was them finally cutting his microphone off. CM Punk didn't make it seem like pro wrestling is scripted or fake in anyway.

But bringing a script to the ring and tearing it up or saying you're not going to follow it does make pro wrestling look fake and it's stupid. That's real Vince Russo shit.

I don't think that's true.

It's a worked shoot. If Punk was allowed to say how he truly felt it would have gone deeper then what it did and probably had a few fbombs. Vince Allowed him to say what he wanted, but it had its limits. It wasn't like Punk grabbed a random mic and just started shooting. It was all planned out. Because if it wasn't they would have turned his mic off as soon as he grabbed it.

And I am talking about his later promos pimpbombs. His one on one match with Triple H he called him Paul. During his heel run he talked about how Clay should be booked as a monster and Tyson Kidd shouldn't be getting buried because how much of a work horse he is.

and the fact they have brought up Rock having his lines on his arms before.

And yeah maybe with thing is a little meh, but maybe with script he can say it is just vince's notes and suggestions on what he wants him to say.

The line used during that promo with Triple H

"This isn't CM Punk talking to Triple H, this is Phil Brooks talking to Paul Levesque!"

I thought you were just talking about that one promo.

And I call it a shoot because Punk was giving out his true feeling. But he's great in that he was doing his job, trying to sell the Money In The Bank Pay Per View. Another promo like that is Paul Hayman's promo on the Smackdown before The Invasion ended. He gave out his true feelings to Vince while putting over The Invasion and trying to sell Survivor Series.

I think what you have in mind would work best if Roman Reigns had a manager. Then we would have someone who might give him a script. Angry at the RAW after Wrestlemania he would explode, telling his manager he's not the next John Cena, he's the first Roman Reigns. Shove the scripted promo he had for him down his mouth and attack him. Then later he attacks John Cena.

Of course WWE doesn't see any value in managers anymore.

Yeah that is stupid. I would have been fine with:

"This isn't CM Punk talking to Triple H, this is Phil Brooks talking to Hunter Helmsley!"

that could work

Shoulda called him Terra Ryzing.

This is way over the top though. Shoots aren't meant to basically go out and say that wrestling is scripted, even if everyone knew it was, it would just feel wrong because it's supposed to be acting. It would just feel wrong.

Bull watches Tubby Emu!  


He literally has the same idea as Bull.

Only way to help Reigns is to wait another year.

like I said this wasn't my idea. I didn't put tubby's name because idk if anyone but me knew who he was.

TBH, I just think Roman would just be a perfect heel in general. I don't even care how it's done (as long as he doesn't become a scared pussy like most heels), make him ala Triple H 2002.

Reigns to become a heel by popping children's balloons and jaywalking.
