Because unlike Daniel Bryan, Roman Reigns hasn't been a WWE Champion. And I think he surely deserves it. I love how people complain that 'WWE never pushes new stars', but once they do, everyone gets so aggressive "why you push this guy, and not that guy..."

Your first sentence speaks volumes. The WWE Championship should not be treated as a "fair game" prop. The argument that Person A should get it instead of Person B because Person A has never had it is ridiculous. It's the top prize in the world of professional wrestling - not a turn playing XBOX.

And in what way does Roman Reigns "deserve" a WWE Championship victory? Exactly what has he achieved in his time in the WWE? A "Superstar of the Year" award, the legitimacy of which is highly questionable? He's been part of the Shield, one of the top groups in several years, but his two partners have already gone on to make better, more stable, more interesting characters for themselves. Not only that, but they've proven themselves more adept in the ring than their Reigns counterpart.

How many great matches has Reigns had as a single performer? How many great promos or storylines? The answer is none.

Yes, WWE needs to push new stars. Daniel Bryan should still be considered a "new star." And he beats out Reigns in every category in question when it comes to being a WWE Superstar. Reigns will make it there one day if he continues to work hard and finds that program or gimmick or attitude that really pushes him to the next level. But he has not found that yet.
