Something about being related to The Rock and Vince being a big "I'm A Paul Heyman The Rock Guy" the past few years.
Reigns path to stardom is almost the same it was for The Rock in terms of being too forced as a big face star. If I remember correctly, The Rock and not Stone Cold was Vince's original choice for being The Guy going into the Attitude Era. Biggest difference between the two was at least The Rock and WWE were smart enough to realize quickly it wasn't going to work without drastic changes and being open to having someone else take over that role.
There were rumors a few years ago about Vince wanting Cena to be his last big hand picked mega star and let Triple H/Steph decide on the next one before going all in on wanting Reigns being Cena's successor.
