Roman isn't terrible, he needs a lot of work on the mic and his in-ring work is improving, but this run is absolutly 100% tainted and there is no saving it. The crowd DESPISES him and there is no way to turn it around without a heel turn. They ruined this thing at the start like with The Rock's early face run but unlike that they seem dead set on keeping him face no matter what and that is a recipe for this to be Diesel 2.0.

Have him drop the belt, turn heel and work the upper midcard for a bit while AJ/Owens/Sami holds the belt. Give him a cool feud with a face that he wins and then organically work him back into the title picture when his mic skills have improved.

Roman has the worst ring entrance in the company.

This is also 100% true. Dude needs new music ASAP. He's retroactively ruined the Shield theme.

I don't even think you need to have him drop the belt. Just switch him to an entitled heel. All he needs to do is go out and cut a You People Promo and then continue to do everything the same (except without the lovely babyface promos that he sucks at anyway) because he's already smug heel as gently caress.

A pretty interesting idea I heard for his turn would be if he totally just embraced the boos and made it a part of the turn. Like he comes out one night when there's an assload of Anti-Reigns signs and everyone is booing and have him yell at Vince or Cole or whoever to turn down the crowd mics and start confiscating signs that mock him at the gate. Turn him into that sort of early Angle thing where he's activity angry he's being booed.
