Reigns isn't ready and its obvious, I personally don't think he has the talent the likes of a John Cena has, but I don't think he is the biggest problem.
The creative side and writers are the biggest problem by far. There are no creative stories or arcs with twists and turns and flow to them. There are no intense feuds with stories that help you get invested and there is no variation in the way matches are brought to PPV. It is all samesie and boring and it means we don't get any variation and we can't get invested in any characters. None of what happened on Monday night was compelling viewing. Nothing.
There will always be some trash and some things that don't stick, but there is no compelling character on the show and no compelling story. Nothing for us to hang on to and stay tuned in for. That, for me, is their biggest problem, and it is a massive fundamental one for which there is no quick fix.
