Some people may think that he is "hiding" under the vest but Roman Reigns seems to be in good shape: Pictures are from the WWE House Show in Seattle on March 14th. In my opinion the Entrance really is unique and the Theme Song is awesome so he can keep those, but there is no reason to keep the Attire...

I think there are two reasons.
1) WWE promotes him as a "powerhouse" but his body doesn't show that. He's not in bad shape by any means, but he's barely bigger than Seth Rollins. 2) Unlike Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose, he doesn't really have a personality to show off. They've gone off to become incredibly enjoyable to watch, but they gave the Shield to Reigns to help keep him over because the Shield was cool.

I think Seth Rollins is more "fit" but Roman is "larger". 2) I don't think some attire gets/keeps someone over... I think if Roman ditched the vest and all, he would have the same popularity or be even bigger specially with women(if that's possible).

He doesn't look like the "powerhouse" they bill him to be. He's still a fair amount smaller than say, Cena, Batista or Brock. He's closer to Orton, who isn't a powerhouse. 2) The attire/gear didn't keep him over. It's the fact that he looks pretty much exactly the same as he did when he was in the Shield. He also acts the same (except for the cheesy promos which he seems to have stopped). Like Seth has become the dastardly heel and Ambrose's lunatic personality is awesome. Reigns is just a guy in riot gear who wears it because the Shield was cool and they want to keep that for him.

Reigns is bigger than Randy Orton. I think Roman really is more like John Cena and current The Rock but not as ripped... 2) Well I think he should act the same. The badass vibe goes well with him, but I don't think he needs the attire to keep that... ?

Cena and Rock are like walking tanks. Again, I don't think Roman Reigns is a small guy. He just doesn't have the "powerhouse" look that we're supposed to believe. Ryback and Sheamus fit that bill much more.

Personally, I'd like to see him lose the vest. The pants and boots are fine, and wearing a singlet underneath them to would like just fine. The vest is just dumb. It looks silly and also impractical.
I also think he should ditch the crowd entrance. I think it actually hurts him because it's kind of dull and most of the crowd can't see him. He certainly can't get the crowd fired up from there. An entrance like Batista would suit him well.

Ryback and Sheamus fit that bill much more. Yeah... I think I exaggerated a bit with The Rock(guy is currently huge) but John Cena and by the picture above I don't think is bigger/much bigger than Reigns. Ryback is definitely another beast like Batista. Edit: By the way the "Powerhouse" thing should go away too. Reigns can do power moves without needing to be called a powerhouse just like Cena, Cesaro, etc.

He is a huge fan of the Big Bossmans 1999 run, that's why.

What happened to the blue and green ones? Those where pretty cool. Red would look sweet.

They have him still leeching off the ultra popular Shield act.

I'd love for him to revamp his look, but I'm not sure I can picture him wearing anything else at this point. I think regular trucks would look odd and long tights would be worse. I dunno.

I wonder why he went back to wearing the more shield-attire looking vest I hope he doesn't wear that one at wrestlemaina

because the WWE uses every possible way to make you "the dumb fan" think Reigns is the coolest guy in history, because remember The Shield! He was there! nXT? he was there! LIKE HIM! POWERHOUSE!!!

Having all that padding seems like an unfair advantage. It's like when my friend started wearing a life jacket during our backyard wrestling matches so he wouldn't get hurt as much.

That's one thing I dont like about Reigns, it shows he can't evolve beyond the Shield. Ambrose & Rollins have both their own thing and Roman is stuck in the past.

If he is the next guy it's going to be weird having another guy in street clothes.
