Roman Reigns: 5 booking options following his Hell in a Cell victory

Roman Reigns retained his United States Championship in one heck of a match on Sunday night. It opened the show, and I don’t think people expected much from it, at first, but what we got was a hellacious battle, which included some pretty amazing spots and had me hyped for what seemed like the culmination of the feud.

Rusev really took it to the United Stated Champion, and when he locked in The Accolade on top of the steel stairs, with the chain right across Reigns’ mouth, I thought we’d see the former Shield member tap out. Alas, it was not to be, and the Super Samoan fought his way out and managed to get the pinfall victory.

After such an amazing match, the question is, where does Roman go from here? How does he build on the Roman Empire and get the fans behind him? I remember a time long ago, namely the 2014 Royal Rumble when the fans were wholly behind Roman and his gimmick.

In the following months, WWE shoved his character, and his unbeatable status down the fans’ throats and people swiftly changed their mind, about the man who eliminated 12 men from a single Royal Rumble match. Even The Rock couldn’t help him win the crowd.

I live in the hope that Roman Reigns can reach those heights again and rebuild his character to some degree. Can these following options help him regain his popularity and make his way back to superstardom?
