3 reasons why Roman Reigns should become the next General Manager of RAW


Roman Reigns who was destined to be the next face of the WWE had to unfortunately take time off TV due to Leukaemia. Reigns was the reigning Universal Champion of Monday Night RAW before he had to relinquish the championship due to his medical condition.
The Big Dog is undergoing treatment and is expected to make a return to the ring in the coming years. Though the former Universal Champion is off TV, the WWE Creative team has used Roman's disease as a part of the 'Dean Ambrose-Seth Rollins' storyline.
It is no secret that Roman Reigns was Vince McMahon's golden boy. He had won the Tag Team Championships, the United States Championship, the Intercontinental title and also the WWE World Heavyweight Championship three times before capturing the Universal Championship.
The former S.H.I.E.L.D member had also won the Royal Rumble and had main evented 4 consecutive WrestleManias. It shows that the WWE officials were very high on Roman Reigns ahead of his disease revelation.
The WWE Creative would love to have the Big Dog back on WWE TV since the ratings of RAW have been sinking ever since his exit. Baron Corbin is the current Acting General Manager of RAW and the fans are not happy to have yet another heel authority figure on the flagship show.
Perhaps, introducing Roman Reigns as the next GM could freshen things up. Here are 3 reasons why Roman should be made the next GM of RAW.

#1 Reigns can make TV appearances and thus should be used on WWE TV
     Reigns made his first public appearance since Leukemia announcement and looked fit enough to come on RAW and cut some backstage promos if not battling inside the ring.
In my opinion, the RAW Commissioner Stephanie McMahon and Triple H could award Roman Reigns' the position of General Manager due to his performances which made Monday Night RAW one of the top shows.
Even if Reigns is absent due to his medical condition for some weeks, Stephanie McMahon could work as the authority figure. As seen in the video below, Reigns can cut effective promos on RAW as well.

#2 Roman Reigns is always a better choice as a General Manager than Kurt Angle or Baron Corbin



If we look at the way Kurt Angle performed the role of the RAW General Manager in the past 2 years, the Olympic Gold Medalist made the Monday Night Show boring to watch with his botchy promos. The same was the case with the first RAW GM since the brand split, Mick Foley who was succeeded by Kurt Angle.
Both the face General Managers had issues with RAW Commissioner Stephanie McMahon which led to monotonous storylines. The introduction of Baron Corbin in the General Manager picture helped bringing a change but his run does not seem to be an exciting one given the way the writers have booked him as an autocratic GM.
Roman Reigns can play this role to perfection since he has improved a lot on his mic skills and on top of that, he was one of the few superstars who would be booed and cheered equally by the WWE Universe. So, a neutral GM could help make RAW a watchable since the fans know Reigns will not step foot in the ring and so the WWE Creative would not develop a favoritism or a vendetta type storyline.

#3 This story-line would help building a triumphant return for the Roman Reigns


Roman Reigns had promised to return to the squared circle after successfully defeating his biggest enemy, Leukaemia. The Big Dog will receive one of the loudest pops whenever he returns to the WWE ring.
If the WWE Creative does not have Reigns regularly on TV, they would pre-announce his return 2-3 weeks earlier to hype his return which would be an underwhelming way to welcome Reigns back.
Having Reigns on-screen as the RAW General Manager would always keep the fans guessing about the former Universal Champion's in-ring return. And the day he is cleared to wrestle, WWE could have him destroy one of the top heels of RAW which would send shockwaves in the WWE Universe.
