5 Reasons why Drew McIntyre should turn heel soon

#3. Drew McIntyre can be the catalyst of Roman Reigns' eventual face turn

Drew McIntyre being one of Roman Reigns' "main" opponents for a pay-per-view like WrestleMania seems unlikely, especially since WWE normally reserves the biggest matches for The Tribal Chief.

McIntyre has faced Reigns at The Show of Shows before, but even then, it seemed clear that he was just the latter's "welcome back" opponent to singles competition following his remission and return to the ring.

Their match at Survivor Series proved that timing is everything, as they had an instant classic with each other. However, with rumors of plans for Roman Reigns to eventually square off against The Rock, Drew McIntyre will be low down as a backup plan for the reigning Universal Champion at WrestleMania.

However, if McIntyre turned heel during his run on SmackDown, it could be the catalyst for Reigns' eventual face turn. It's no secret that WWE wants him to be the modern face of the company, and his current run as a heel has been the best of his career by far.

Drew McIntyre's heel turn wouldn't coincide with Roman Reigns' face turn. If anything, it would mean that the company has to keep them apart for a while, especially if the plan is for Reigns to continue as a top heel for more than a year.

And in all honesty, The Tribal Chief doesn't look like he's in a good position to turn face right away. He will inevitably be when the time is right.
