Like, the crowd fucking loves him. Seemingly everyone in the business loves him. His story was so good last year and would be so good this year.

Instead we're getting a guy half the crowd hates and who has two facial expressions against Our Father of Suplex.

I just don't get why they're so resistant to it. I do understand wanting to try and make a new star, but this may go the way of Orton's first world championship reign that took years for him to recover from.

I'm trying to think of another time they've so obviously went against crowd popularity, but it's not like they ever bumped Steve Austin out of the title picture for Marc Mero in 97 or 98.
Yep. Roman Reigns hasn't really done too much worth remembering as a singles star. He was bad-ass with The Shield, but that whole dynamic has changed now. Reigns' best story for Mania this year would have been going against Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose in a Triple Threat, as I have supported many times. And Reigns should have won that match. And it should have been treated as a HUGE deal. And when Seth Rollins won the WWE World Title from Daniel Bryan using Money in the Bank, you better believe that Reigns would have been in the title conversation. But WrestleMania doesn't feel like the right time.

If the company had taken a chance and put the WWE Title on him at Money in the Bank, and had him be the guy to drop it to Brock Lesnar, then at least this match could have the story of being revenge for Reigns. The story is so...blocked in.

Daniel Bryan's WrestleMania position would have been an organic one. A WrestleMania-to-WrestleMania story, in many a sense, and Bryan didn't even need to get pinned to lose the title to set it up. Fuck, Bryan could have made Reigns himself at SummerSlam or something.
