Jim Ross Doesn’t Believe WWE Should Alter Roman Reigns’ Push

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross spoke with Pop Culture to promote his new book, Slobberknocker: My Life in Wrestling. Here are the highlights:

Which Superstar will hold a title in WWE next:

“Probably Sasha [Banks]. I think Bray Wyatt’s an amazing upside. I think he’s a character baby face and I think Sasha Banks is a [natural] heel.”

Whether WWE should alter Roman Reigns’ push as the top guy:

“Well, I think you just got to continue to allow him to be pretty good. You know, whenever the time is opportune. He is better than pretty good and a good kid, real good kid. Very committed.

“There’s nothing you say on TV, there’s no pillow vignettes, let’s change his music, let’s change his hair color, let’s change his outfit. You know, let’s change for change’s sake. Let’s change not knowing the selection, but just change for change sake. Because well, it might work. It might not. Steer the course and not be so wrapped up in getting him accepted as a fan favorite or a villain. I accept him as a star. And that’s what Roman Reigns is, he’s a star.”
