Roman Reigns is the current face of the WWE and he has been getting the push for a long period of time. John Cena used to get similar push as a face of the company and he utilized it every time. However, there is a massive difference between the two Superstars in terms of the crowd's reaction. As a matter fact, Reigns gets booed most of the time inside the squared circle despite being a face.

Meanwhile, WWE want Reigns to carry the company like Cena did for a whole decade. Additionally, Reigns stays in title picture most of the time and generally main events on RAW or a Pay-per-view. Roman has headlined the WrestleMania four times in a row, but still, he fails to get the approval of the WWE Universe. However, it is unfamiliar for a 'face' to get booed every single time and WWE should think about a heel turn of the Big Dog .
Here we discuss three reasons why Roman Reigns should turn heel:
#3 The WWE Universe might change their opinion
The Shield broke up in 2014 after Seth Rollins turned on Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose. Meanwhile, Reigns started his career as a single competitor since the group got separated. Although, his single's run has not been smooth and the crowd has rejected the former WWE Champion both inside the arena and on social media.
However, a heel turn can help him to reinvent his character and the WWE Universe might start to like him as a credible superstar. For instance, Roman' s cousin brothers 'The Usos' have followed the path and they are certainly doing better than before. The Usos joined the SmackDown Live as bad guys with a new gimmick.
Furthermore, Reigns has a captivating look which is perfectly suitable for a heel character. Besides, there are plenty of Superstars who have seen the positive outcome after turning a heel.
#2 Reigns can become a Paul Heyman guy
Paul Heyman is one of the best talkers in the WWE and Reigns has a bright chance to become a Paul Heyman guy if he turns heel. In addition, Heyman's clients are usually heels and his incredible mic skill can help Reigns to grow his character. As a matter fact, top-notch Superstars like CM Punk, Brock Lesnar, Rob Van Dam, Big Show have been Paul Heyman guys and they have reaped the benefit.
Presently, Lesnar is the only Paul Heyman guy in the WWE and he is rumoured to leave the company after the SummerSlam. Brock Lesnar appeared at UFC 226 and he is scheduled to have a UFC match against Daniel Cormier. Hence, the WWE Universe will not see Heyman after the departure of Lesnar. However, WWE can turn Reigns heel and he can easily become a new client of Paul Heyman.
Additionally, Reigns is not that great on mic and he struggles to cut good promos. Whereas, Heyman's awe-inspiring mic skill can solve the issue and his cutting edge promos will be helpful for the Big Dog.
#1 Successful heel run as a Shield member
Roman Reigns made his main roster debut in 2012 as a prime member of a group called 'The Shield'. In fact, 'The Shield' is one of the best professional wrestling stables in the WWE and they earned a massive popularity in a short span of time. Moreover, the group had three NXT rookies who were Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns. Afterwards, all three Shield members went on to become top-notch superstars of the company.
Meanwhile, the stable reunited on October last year before Ambrose got injured. However, they were heels during their initial run in the WWE. They had several memorable matches against other popular groups like the Wyatt Family, Evolution and The New Age Outlaws.
Furthermore, Roman Reigns was the leader of the stable and he had an impressive run as a heel. In fact, the Big Dog was also a huge crowd puller as a Shield member. Therefore, if he turns a bad guy then he has a gigantic possibility to be a crowd favourite again.
