At Survivor Series 2012 we saw the debut of the Shield Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns. Rollins and Ambrose were long term veterans of the indy scene and after signing with the WWE worked their way up to being the top 2 guys in NXT with Rollins as NXT champ. It seemed as if they would be competing for who would be the breakout star of the group however Roman Reigns a guy who had been in the business about 2.5 years and had wrestled exclusively in WWE developmental debuted as the clear number 3 talent in the group with no long term success expected but has since shown rapid growth and still shows lots of potential and has become the clear favourite to be the breakout star. If you need evidence tying the Survivor Series record and breaking the Rumble elimination records should be enough. There has even been talk of him being the number 1 guy in the company.
So what I am suggesting is will see the success and growth of Roman Reigns as an in ring talent as another to try to produce there own superstars and get them while they are new to the business and built them up only teaching them the WWE way of wrestling and try to turn the focus off indy talent.
As I like to create my own balanced argument I will add that Reigns has the benefit of being part of one of the best wrestling families and having influence and advice on how to wrestle from a young age and throughout his career. He has also got the benefit of being close friends and teammates with guys with a combined 20 years in the business and as a report I read suggests he has been like a sponge around Ambrose and Rollins and has benefited greatly from their knowledge. Therefore he may not be the best subject to for WWE to do indeed make a business decision based on his success
Conclusion - Despite Reigns have heritage and experienced partners to help him develop do you agree that WWE may look past this and just think that it is a WWE guy who is having success and be more likely to pick their own products ahead of indy guys in the future
