WWE has a ‘Roman Reigns problem’ heading into WrestleMania

WWE fans are gearing up for the company’s biggest annual event: WrestleMania. The top WWE superstars will face off this Sunday in Orlando in an event that the company spends the entire year building towards. One of the biggest matches on the card features WWE superstars The Undertaker squaring off against Roman Reigns.

Thanks to Reigns, the company finds itself in what can arguably be considered a creative conundrum. For the last three years, the company has pushed Reigns as a top “babyface,” otherwise known as a “good guy.” However, whenever Reigns enters an arena he’s consistently met by a deafening chorus of “boo’s” from the crowd that would make the casual observer think that Reigns is indeed a “heel” or “bad guy.”

We talked to Jeff Ashworth, editor of “The WWE Official Book of Rules,” which was written by Jeremy Brown, Trevor Courneen, and Carlos Mejia and illustrated by Nick Harran. Ashworth worked as a digital writer for WWE from 2009 to 2012, and he thinks that the problem with Roman Reigns may not necessarily be a problem at all.

WrestleMania airs Sunday, April 2 at 7 pm ET live on WWE Network.
