Vince McMahon annoyed over Roman Reigns' segment on WWE Raw

[September]

WWE chairman Vince McMahon was reportedly upset and annoyed over the Roman Reigns’ interview segment that aired last Monday Night on Raw.

Wrestling Observer noted that the interview was 100 % scripted by the WWE writers. The segment wasn’t received well by the fans online and people within the company were unhappy about it.

COO Triple H asked for a badass babyface character from Reigns that didn’t care about the world in that interview, but many within the WWE stated the fact that Reigns isn’t that kind of a guy.

The reason for the segment coming off as forced was because Reigns was not comfortable playing that role.

It’s also interesting to note that Vince didn’t go out of his way to watch the taped interview before it aired.

I wish they would let these guys just BE and find their own way. Help them tweak their characters instead of trying to completely mold them into what they want them to be whether it fits or not.

No, it came off as forced because Roman Reigns can't talk for shyt.

"Harley scared the under-14 demographic with that promo. Put him in clown makeup and make Big Bird his valet."

Triple H is right. That character is what got him over in the first place, let him show that lil playboy swag subtly like he did in The Shield

push trash workers and complain when they perform like trash brehs.

That was the shyt Austin was talking about in his podcast...throwaway them scripts and just let the wrestlers be themselves. Give them bullet points at what to say and let them flow with it..

It just felt awkward. I mean most his promos do but this one was just weird as fukk because he was using his 'outside-the-ring' interview voice and demeanor. It was nothing like his in-ring personality. I realize the WWE likes to shyt all over kayfabe now but he was still on RAW. Just because he's injured doesn't mean his in-character interviews should change. He's not Daniel Bryan where the person & the wrestler have the same personality.
