13. Roman Reigns Fails
WWE positioned Roman Reigns into the top for the second consecutive year and it once again fell apart. Reigns defeated Triple H in the main event of WrestleMania 32 for the WWE World Championship. The moniker of “the guy” made it clear that Reigns was now the top guy in WWE. Fans continued to boo him out of the building most weeks rejecting the push for the second time in as many years.
Reigns was the one to fail himself this time around when he violated the WWE wellness policy by failing a drug test. WWE was forced to suspend Roman and have him drop the WWE World Championship to Seth Rollins.
Reigns received the biggest push of the past decade but ruined it by violating the wellness policy at the worst possible time. WWE demoted him lower down the card for a few months until he returned to the main event picture against Kevin Owens on the final PPV of the year.
