As a WWE fan, you almost have to be blind not to see that Roman Reigns is right on the track to the main event of WrestleMania, where he will more than likely capture his first WWE World Heavyweight Championship, presumably by ending the reign of terror of one Brock Lesnar.

Some are actually surprised by this because Reigns still seems to struggle in some key areas that are vital to a top star, like having a microphone in his hands and talking.

Nonetheless, it seems as if the company are putting all their eggs in the Roman Reigns basket, and according to a new report from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the top spot is his to lose.

"“Reigns was originally set to win the Rumble and headline WrestleMania. There is a lot of skepticism in the industry whether Reigns is ready for that push. Thus far, the crowd is positive toward him, but he did just return. They aren’t blowing the roof off the joint for him. But there absolutely is an issue with him.As far as a guy delivering modern scripted promos, he’s not that guy. He does have a good look and has a few moves that are over, making him a great babyface power hitter in a tag team. He’s good enough that he can have a good match with the right opponent, but he’s not great on his own in a 20:00 singles match. Then again, they do need to make a new babyface superstar.Randy Orton isn’t new. Daniel Bryan, no matter how the crowd reacts, is not their type and right now, there are still questions regarding his recovery from his neck and elbow problems. So it’s Reigns and Dean Ambrose. Ambrose is the better promo and the better worker, but he fits less into the mold of what they want the company’s top babyface star to be.Both sell merchandise but (even with Ambrose’s hoodie being No. 1 two weeks ago) neither is doing numbers there to signal being made the top guy. Both have been hit-and-miss with crowd reactions in recent weeks. But it’s Reigns’ spot to lose. And right now, he still has that spot.”"

The ball is basically in Reigns’ court here, although he is going to have to work on the areas where he needs improvement. He might get to the top come this spring, but he then has to keep it, which might be the hardest part.
