The Reigns Factor - Why can't fans connect?

WWE has to have a face of the company who does that stuff. When Cena retires, he can't take all that family-friendly branding and goodwill with him. Sponsors and corporate partners expect that of the top wrestler now, and WWE would stand to lose a lot of money by sacking it all off.

That makes sense in theory but if they don't have anyone to fill that role they have to work with what they got. They won't be able to just stuff anyone in that role and expect it to work.

 

They can have several wrestlers taking on different roles which will work a lot better than one person trying to carry the ship. Nakamura, Bayley, Zayn, Banks, Ambrose, Rollins and Reigns can all do different things, they should utilise that

That's definitely a problem, and one they didn't face as much in the Austin era. I just think it doesn't play to Reigns' strengths as much as it did Cena's or Bryan's. No doubting he's great with the kids when he meets them but his on-screen persona doesn't work when he portrays the white meat babyface.
