Jericho recently said in an interview that if Reigns turns heel people will just cheer him, but isn't that beneficial to wwe? I mean he could even become a bigger babyface after the heel turn. It worked wonders for Rocky Maivia and New Day. They have nothing to lose. It's not is if he moves merchandise like Cena. Besides isn't AJ Styles the top merchandise mover today?

I’ve read that Cena and Roman are typically the top 2, and A.J. has been 3 behind them regularly for the last year at least.

The "people boo me, so aren't I already a heel?" argument is so tired. No, you're not a heel. Until you're booked to wrestle primarily babyfaces, you're not a heel.

it’s as simple as making him the corporate champion. if it had been him in rollin’s place a few years ago then all would have made sense.
people boo Vince through reigns. put them together.

It honestly seems like a no brainer at this point. Vince has exhausted all his ideas and it hasn't worked. Give Roman a fresh coat of paint, and give the fans a reason to boo him. If all else fails, he could be switched back just as easily. I don't see what they have to lose.

I had my heart sat on Roman turning heel after defeating The Undertaker. I thought the seeds were officially planted but boom he gets attacked by Strowman and then becomes the underdog babyface in that feud.
It would've been the perfect moment.

The fans still booed him because he is no Daniel Bryan in terms of being an underdog. In fact on one episode of raw didn't Braun get a really loud pop by flipping over a car Roman was in or something like that?

WM could've been a huge stepping stone for Reigns but instead he was put back into the underdog role that fans hated. Also Strowman was over huge with the crowd so putting Reigns against him was a horrible idea.

Roman is right, the only person who could turn him right now is Bryan.

Guy this ing guy is clueless. If Roman Reigns thinks he is heel then why in the hell is he still wrestling heels. He should be a heel and face a strong babyface. The reason why people boo him cause he sucks in the ring and his mic skills aren't all that great & sounds like a ing robot when given a scripted promo.

A heel turn wouldn't change anything. He'd still be booked the same way but this time, we're supposed to not like it.

I think Triple H said something like that recently too. To the effect of “well more than half the crowd boos him so isn’t he already a heel?”. No he’s not. You have Michael Cole go nuts every time he hits a move, book him against heels, stack the odds against him. They are now booking him against probably the one guy with heel heat in Mahal, and he’s still getting booed.

This is why most, including myself, hate this guy. Every time he opens his mouth he says the stupidest crap. Guy has a major ego problem and being Vince's butt buddy doesn't help.

Whether you hate him or not you have to admit he is good in the ring. That's not why he gets booed. He gets booed because of his character and the fact that people know that Vince is choosing him despite the fact he isn't getting over organically.

He should’ve turned heel during the match with the undertaker. He couldn’t put the deadman away so he could’ve assaulted him with a steel chair countless times and hit him with a few spears, that should’ve been his heel turn the crowd was the hottest it had ever been for him the next night.

I really think the WWE should invest in some public speaking lessons for him.

Let Roman win the MITB contract. Then let Seth defeat Brock at SummerSlam... clean! Roman cashes in on Seth moments after his big win. Roman doesn't think it's an issue and he doesn't understand why Seth is so upset. But after a few weeks, Roman cheats to defeat Seth in the big rematch. Then Roman can officially be a heel and it'll give us something new for a change. Which is what WWE & Roman DESPERATELY need.
Just a thought.

Had they turned him heel 3 years ago, eventually alligning with the Authority then eventually turning on them he would be the biggest genuine babyface.

I've seen a lot of Superstars and reporters under the impression that as soon as Reigns turns, he'd then be cheered. I'm of the belief that he would still get boo'd and be a genuinely good heel. He's not the 'cool heel' type. He wouldn't slip under the bracket that Jericho, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn etc do, in which they still get cheered despite being booked as heels because they are good in the ring and good at what they do. Reigns, if heel, would still be booked at the top of the card, and shoved down everybody's throats. He has personality traits which are naturally unlikeable which is why he has struggled as a babyface, he comes across as smug, cocky. He's not a great talker in a comedic sense, and his move set isn't that of a typical indy darling. Plus, whilst the be all and end all revolves around Roman Reigns, fans would still hate it that he's taking the position of a Finn Balor or Seth Rollins etc. He'd be the best heel of all time in my opinion.
