Roman Reigns heel turn ideas

[oldschool123]

A lot of people are speculating that Heyman could turn on Lesnar and side with Reigns thus turning him heel but personally I think that is a terrible idea.

My idea to turn Reigns heel is he loses at Mania and then the night after at Raw he does his normal through the crowd entrance but this time after a fan touches him like always he lays the fan out. Later he could explain how the fans turned on him so he isn't playing nice anymore.

What are your ideas for a possible Roman Reigns heel turn?

Well I hope to God the fan is a well placed WWE staff member and Reigns doesn't hit the wrong person.

I don't think he's going to turn heel, that would have to be the last resort. I can see the title changing hands though between Lesnar and Rollins, they don't exactly get along, and already have had one PPV battle. The best thing would be for Reigns to win, Rollins to cash in, and then he and Reigns can feud till Summerslam for the title.

no way to turn reign as heel. if they turn him heel then all past one year efforts are waste. I don't think wwe change their plan. roman wins the title next night Brock attack roman and allow Rollins to cash. its perfect way to give younger talents take main event spot. lesnar is not a full timer so they won't continue this shit.

Roman Reigns is already heel to the vast majority of the audience. All they need to do to turn him heel to the rest is have him start coming out through the stage, and cut a promo stating that he doesn't want to interact with the people who cheered for him in 2014 and then booed him in 2015. Done.

I want to begin by saying that I'm tired of hearing about Heyman turning on Brock - this angle needs to be left alone, including by WWE creative - Heyman & Brock sticking together........NOW THATS WHATS BEST FOR BUSINESS!

Now onto the question - I think the best way to turn Reigns is for the Authority to do a flip flop with him & Rollins. Long story short HHH reveals that Reigns was actually the "golden child" because of his bloodline/heritage & that they used Rollins as a pawn to get Reigns to the top. That's why they surrounded Rollins with "security", etc - so they could keep an eye on him, keep him from finding out & because they have always thought he was the weaker of the two. I think it would be a perfect swerve & since there has been talk of turning Rollins face & Reigns heel this would work out just right - it gives Rollins his face turn & Reigns the Authority as a mouthpiece/back up.

So let it be a waste of year reigns sucked and wasted a year not being fully developed and accepted by the fans so he will indeed turn heel and join with Authority not with Paul Heyman I see Heyman vs Brock in the near future maybe next year or year after. Other rumors have it that Seth Rollins may cash his money in the bank if Reigns wins and pull off a cheap victory although never seen that happen at WM I doubt it I see Reigns vs Brock Lesner at SS and Rollins cashing in than for the Title

I'm with you on the "leave Heyman out of the equation" part of your post. But aligning Reigns with the Authority, that is something I don't want to see happening.

First of all, the Authority has been around now for about what 2 years, and they need to start winding down this angle, not adding in fresh members to keep it going. Secondly Reigns and his Shield counterparts always stood alone, until the break up. Rollins turned to the Authority because he didn't sell out he bought in. The other two didn't and fought them in their own way.

Reigns was over as a face when the Shield turned, and he was fine after the break up. It's a combination of crappy booking, an absentee champion, and his injury that have lead us to where we are now. They should have had pulled the rug out from under this a long time ago when they saw he wasn't ready. There is nothing wrong with giving someone more time, but everything wrong with putting someone in a position they aren't ready for.

Rollins can't cash in at Summerslam for the title, it will have expired by the. The MITB PPV is in June, an the contract is only good up till then. If he doesn't cash it in at Mania or RAW the night after and Brock retains, we most likely won't see him for another few months. Rollins will miss his chance. He has to cash it in this weekend.

Well, yes. It would be an easy matter to turn him heel, given the negative reception he's seemed to inspire, although there are still plenty of people who go for him. In a poll on this forum, the majority of voters feel he's still developing and apt to improve greatly as time goes on, while other folks tell us the company will have been wasting time this past year building him up as a face if they turn him heel now.

Personally, I feel if Creative comes up with a program that gets Roman on the right track, it's a move worth making, regardless of what went before. He's already succeeded as a heel......and the "You're booing me? I'll give you something to boo about!" is a sure-fire way to get the job done.

I still feel WWE should do the same thing with John Cena, yet they have been reluctant to try. With Roman Reigns, it could be done, if the company has decided he needs the change.

You say turn him heel I say turn him face. After a grueling battle Lesnar retains and have Rollins try to cash in but as he is trying have Reigns spear him and end Wrestle Mania with Lesnar extending his hand with the two shaking hands ending Wrestle Mania. The next night have Rollins vs Reigns in a handicap match and while they beat on Reigns have Lesnar come out and clear house. End RAW with Reigns extending his hand and once again the two shake hands. The following week have Heyman announce that with Brock Lesnar's permission that he is the new advocate of Roman Reigns. That way Reigns can do the ass kicking and Heyman do his talking and build him up that way. Go back to the old Roman Reigns as the silent ass kicker and I'm pretty sure the fans will cheer.

Laying a fan out would be the most crowd pleasing thing he has done.

I would have him stay face, have different managers and authority figures pursue him. He can feud with Rusev after Rusev loses the US Title. At a PPV have Lana turn on Rusev and align with Reigns in a business and personal relationship thus turning Reigns heel, Rusev face, and Lana stays heel and gets away from the pro-Russia gimmick.

So your plan to turn Roman Reigns heel is for him to assault hundreds of fans over the course of the next few weeks? Uh, that might be the most stupid thing I have ever heard. I do agree that the entrance can be used as a heel tactic but it should only be used in conjunction with, and after a proper heel turn. After he turns heel, I would like to see him use a normal entrance from the stage and then tell the fans that they had turned on him and now they don't deserve to right next to him as he enters the ring. Seems like a perfect heel tactic to me. But how to turn him heel? Well, first of all, I don't think he should turn. But if he does, then Mania would be a cool place to see it. And for me, the best way to do is with the Heyman turn. It just makes sense and they don't need to force it very much.

Brock beats Reigns, Reigns severely assaults Brock post match, Rollins cashes in with Reigns' encouragement.

I think it's impossible at this point to keep Roman as a face, It's just not working as a single performer, this is even before the Royal rumble. I do like the guy. So i think this is the perfect time to really change the course going into a new WWE season... First thing, reform The Shield !!! Let's still go with Heyman turning on Brock (Does Brock REALLY NEED Heyman anymore to remind us who he is, I think we got it) but it's not going to be just that easy because it's "the Beast".... Even with Heyman turning on Brock, he will still beat Roman to a huge babyface ovation and just as Brock is about to go off on Heyman...hit Rollins music, as Brock turns and Rollins is heading to the ring Roman hits a Spear on Brock and Rollins cashes in and goes for the curb stomp hits the curb stomp but Brock kicks out, the refs gets taken out, Rollings is working on Brock still and down comes Dean Ambrose, who Rollings plays up is after him for keeping his promise if he ever choose to cash in that he would be there to stop him but Ambrose dirty deeds Brock... The Shield fist bumps... Triple powerbombs Brock, Heyman revives the ref and Rollins gets the WWE Title. The Authority had no clue of any of this as this was planted long ago thanks to Heyman. The Authority will take a major hit at WM... Sting wins, Orton does beat Rollins and lose their "future" to Heyman. Not that the Authority is done as Sheamas and Rusev would fit perfectly to join the Authority, even a future heel turn for Ziggler if a feud with Bryan will make the IC title legit again. There's always a plan B, right? I know i'm dreaming but this will really changes a lot of courses going forward.

Brock doesn't need Heyman, who says he HAS to speak? His shoot interviews are really solid I think...After WM i think Brock won't return until Money in the Bank

The fans will put over The Shield and Roman will be the guy he's meant to be right now, Roman should be feuding with Rusev.... Rollings can take on Orton, Sheamas, Cena... Ambrose in the IC title picture with Ziggler and Bryan... There should be a point where The Shield will hold all 3 singles titles and that's where the Beast returns.

I know pipe dream but it's good for buisness and it's fresh !
