Roman Reigns’ Career Will Allegedly Nosedive In AEW

Roman Reigns will take a major blow if he moves to AEW, according to a wrestling veteran.

Several former top WWE stars have signed with Tony Khan’s promotion in recent years, including Mercedes Mone (FKA Sasha Banks), Bobby Lashley, and Jon Moxley.

During a recent episode of his Drive Thru podcast, wrestling veteran Jim Cornette predicted what would happen to The Original Tribal Chief if he hypothetically jumped ship.

The 63-year-old claimed Reigns’ potential arrival at AEW would only cause a “short-term curiosity difference.” He added that while fans would initially be interested in seeing the former Undisputed WWE Champion, he would then get lost in the shuffle.

I don’t see how with the structure with everything that we know about AEW that they can sign any, of course, they’re not gonna sign Roman Reigns, can’t possibly.

But I don’t see who they could bring in that at this point would make anything but a short-term curiosity difference, because then they’ll end up immaterial like everybody else they bring in.

So, yeah, Roman Reigns as, you know, somebody else, whatever name, Roman Snow, I don’t know, he initially people would go, ‘Oh, sh*t, what the f**k’s going on here.’ But then he’d get lost in the shuffle and there’d be nothing interesting for him to do. [3:10 onwards]
