5 Ways to book Roman Reigns after Money in the Bank

It was an ugly sight at Money in the Bank. While the Chicago crowd was hot for most of the matches in the card, they turned viciously on Reigns vs. Mahal. The match in itself wasn't all that bad, really. The crowd did not give the two men a chance to even tell a story.

Where does Roman Reigns even go from here? Everything he does just seems to incite the wrath of the WWE Universe. For no fault of his own, he faces the brunt of fans everywhere he wrestles.

In this article, I will suggest a few routes that Reigns can traverse in the coming weeks. While they're not guaranteed to get him over, nothing is getting him over.

For my money, I think a few of these feuds could be quite interesting indeed!

Honorary Mention: Heel turn

Can we see The Big Dog tap into his dark side?

Roman Reigns has not been embraced by the WWE Universe since he first got his push. Fans have wanted him to go heel for the longest time. Somehow, WWE management sees him in a very different light and has refused to pull the trigger with Reigns' big heel turn. But in light of recent events, could WWE take the plunge?

After all, people supposedly walked away from the arena during the Samoa Joe vs. Roman Reigns match at Backlash. At Money in the Bank, Mahal and Reigns tried their best, but the crowd turned on them from the very start. A heel turn may be the logical course of action going forward.

It also allows for the possibility of a heel Roman Reigns contesting against a babyface Braun Strowman, recreating their iconic feud with new dynamics. So many superstars like Finn Balor and Bobby Roode could benefit from working with heel Roman Reigns. Sadly, I don't see the turn happening anytime soon.

#5 Feuding against a returning Jason Jordan

Is Jordan hated even more than Reigns by the WWE Universe? — Is Jordan hated

WWE booked Roman Reigns to face Jinder Mahal, because in their estimation, Mahal gets more heat than Roman Reigns does. It turned out to not be true. The crowd was absolutely disinterested in seeing either man compete.

With rumors of Jason Jordan returning, WWE can choose to book him against Roman Reigns. Jordan is a man who gets even more heat than Reigns does. While the experiment failed with Jinder Mahal, Jordan's nuclear heat may actually get Reigns cheered when the two men compete.

#4 Reentering the Universal Championship feud

Can Reigns claim the title that he should have won?

Rumours have emerged that Lesnar will not be around until SummerSlam. Maybe he won't even be around then, according to some other WWE rumours. Whatever the case may be, the objective going forward could be to crown a contender for The Beast's championship. This could lead to an interesting multi-man situation at Extreme Rules.

Roman Reigns could find himself to be a part of the mix to crown the next Number 1 contender. Like him or not, he is still one of the biggest stars on RAW. He could even become the Number 1 contender, going forward.

Many believe that Reigns is the uncrowned Universal Champion as his feet hit the ground first, during the Steel Cage match at the Greatest Royal Rumble. WWE may want Reigns to continue down this route as well.

#3 Putting over Drew McIntyre

Could McIntyre score a victory over Reigns to ascend the ranks?

Rumours are abundant that Drew McIntyre is due for a big singles push. Now, as talented as McIntyre is, there needs to be a big victory in his immediate future to be considered the next top guy. For this to happen, all he needs to do is pin Roman Reigns. This would establish him as a top-tier WWE superstar.

Ziggler and McIntyre can come baying at Reigns' heel in coming weeks. It will be a fresh rivalry and one that has many intriguing possibilities over time. It could also be a passing of the torch from one top guy to another.

#2 Feud against Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn

Owens and Zayn deserve much better! — Owens and Zayn deserve much better than their current booking!

Remember how cool Kevin Owens was as Universal Champion? Remember when Sami Zayn turned heel and the world took notice? Look at both men now. They're just a shadow of what they once were!

A feud with Roman Reigns can help revitalize both men. Especially Sami Zayn, after the embarrassing feud he just had with Bobby Lashley. Like it or not, Roman Reigns launches you into main event status.

Owens and Reigns have obviously tangoed in the past. Zayn vs. Reigns will be a fresh encounter and one that should be good, in terms of actual in-ring work.

#1 Versus a heel Dean Ambrose

Check out this news piece if you haven't already, folks. Things are looking up with regards to Dean Ambrose's return to WWE. While he could always return as a babyface, I would love to see a heel Lunatic Fringe. It could make for some compelling television.

Ambrose vs. Reigns is a money feud. There are so many possibilities as it is known that the two men are fast friends. They have history and they can use this to tell a story.

This would, by far, be the best feud for Roman Reigns, going forward. What do you guys think?
