I was think about the problem and I think the main reason Roman is failing to be the new top face is because he is being portrayed as "the underdog" I cringed when Michael Cole said that Roman "over came the odds" beating HHH.
How? He beat an old man who is past his prime if the WWE booked this smart Roman should have just killed HHH in the main event in the style that Lesnar did to Cena at Summerslam. The reason why Brock is over as fuck and Reigns isn't is because Lesnar has never been an underdog.

Yeah, sure: THAT's the reason.
>wears black
>the only guy in ages to wear padding and armor
>has a menacing look
His image portrays a heel yet they present him as a babyface. This is like Cena wearing black jorts, a black shirt, black armbands, black cap, black sneakers and cutting a promo about the Flintstones.

Brock was also booked as a heel. It still leads back to the fact that he's a face.

>calling a tall mass of meat an "underdog."
Fucking Cena booking, and that shit didn't fly with Cena. WWE have no idea what underdogs look like.
>the authority are the main heels
>the authority represents the wwe company

This has even been acknowledged in-kayfabe, as HHH mentioned that Reigns was strongly considered to be The Shield guy they bought out.
