Stone Cold talked recently about Roman Reigns turning heel on his podcast, the Steve Austin Show:
"I think Roman needs to be a heel. Go through that journey and then evolve into a babyface. To me, it's almost going to mirror what the Rock did. [WWE] brought him in as a white meat baby. People hated him and they wanted to hate him. And then, all of a sudden, the Rock started taking over the Nation of Domination. He was the alpha male in that group. All of a sudden, the promo skills come alive. The character comes alive. The personality comes alive and he turned into the most electrifying man in sports entertainment. Now, I don't expect Roman Reigns to do that. I expect Roman Reigns to be Roman Reigns, but that's the road that the Rock went down. I just think, organically, that's the way it's going to play out for Roman Reigns. Now, you can try to put him in that babyface spot, that number one spot, right now to see what happens and I'll be very, very interested to see, if indeed, that's what they do because I'm just waiting on the edge of my seat to see what happens" (SOURCE: STEVE AUSTIN SHOW - TRANSCRIBED BY WRESTLINGINC).
I agree completely with Stone Cold here.. People just want to hate on Roman Reigns right now... It doesn't matter how much he has improved or keeps improving, fans still see him as the handpicked guy who doesn't deserve the title yet. Fans want to hate him, so use that heat to make him an awesome heel for a short period of time. After a heel run, then you can go back and turn him face and have him be the face of your company. I just think it's going to be too difficult for Reigns to win crowds over because a lot of people feel he has been shoved down our throats. It worked for one of the most popular stars of all time and history has a tendency to repeat itself, so maybe try it WWE.
What do you think? Should Roman Reigns turn heel??? Let us know below in our comment section!!!
