Triple H has explained why being an unconventional face of WWE works for Roman Reigns.
WWE tried to follow the blueprint of conventional babyfaces with Reigns after the breakup of Shield but for many years fans rejected him as the face of the company. It wasn\'t until The Big Dog turned heel and became the Tribal Chief that he was able to truly cement his status as a larger-than-life superstar in league with names such as Hulk Hogan and Stone Cold Steve Austin.
During a recent appearance on the Roommate show, Triple H discussed how the same things do not work for different stars. He mentioned that people like John Cena or Cody Rhodes are guys that are the perfect representative of the company at all times:
\"Every star sort of has the things that work for them. Cena is like the, if you were to say \'Give me the perfect sort of I\'ll do anything for the company guy,\' it\'s Cena. He knows what he should do for him, he knows what he should do for the company. He\'s the first guy there, last guy to leave. He\'ll do all the media.
He\'s a perfect representative of the company at all times. Cody Rhodes is very much like that as well. [He] sort of models himself [after that] because he was a young up-and-coming guy when Cena was on top. So he was seeing that and that\'s how he sees himself as that\'s how you become the top guy.\
Roman Is Totally Different: Triple H
Roman Reigns on the other hand is completely different. Triple H discussed how Reigns unlike other past faces of the company does not care much for appearances outside of WWE programming. This approach however, works for him:
\"Roman is totally different. Not in a bad way like to do the ultimate PR thing or do the ultimate appearance thing. He\'s like \'I don\'t feel like that\'s worth my time.\'
But that works for him because if we took that character and we put that character in all these other things, we kind of hurt the character. Because it\'s not what the character is. So it\'s not that he doesn\'t want to do it. It\'s that he doesn\'t feel like the character should do that stuff.\
Apart from this, Triple H revealed that a lot of celebrities want to be a part of WrestleMania 41 and claimed that he was the one who pitched Montreal Screwjob to Vince McMahon.
