@Dolph'sZiggler since if he's around he can describe this one a hell of a lot better than I can
But as Vince said long ago, "We're not a sport, we make movies! We make a new (then) two-hour movie every Monday night!" And as dumb as that quote was, I can totally see this "three hour action movie" having the star being Roman Reigns. He looks, acts, and carries himself like an action hero, he's a much different case than saying "they're going to make Nia Jax the face of the division because she's big!!" At the time the decision was made to make Roman that dude, he had a cool factor not seen by many other dudes in this era on top of being athletic as hell. There was a time where people really bought into Roman being that dude when that decision was made. We've had roughly 95,194,893 threads about how much they fucked it up, but from a raw talent standpoint Roman Reigns has got so much going for him. It'll be cool to see him in Lucha Underground someday.
When talking about the "big guy fetish" that's going back to seeing Big Show on TV and twats like Koslov and 2007 Lashley and fucking Khali get big-time World Title pushes and Ezekiel Jackson getting groomed for bigger things and the new BIG BREAKOUT STAR being Sheamus and... now that the "lets make Sheamus a star!" experiment is finally over and he's stuck midcarding, the last three non-Roman big guys they've really pushed are Ryback, Wyatt, and Rusev who were solely built up to be smacked down by Cena then bumblefuck around while Rollins, Ambrose, Owens, and Styles hold world titles. (Not to mention Punk and Bryan. Or Apollo Crews.)
