So I've been having this thought for a while now, and a post from another member of this site finally led me to creating this thread. Anyway, to start let me say that personally, I'm of the mindset that Roman Reigns would make a much better heel than he would a face. His look, his mannerisms, the way he talks, even his build is perfect for the cocky heel role and I think he could seriously get the crowd to hate him with Paul Heyman by his side. Unlike Stone Cold Steve Austin or to a lesser extent, Dean Ambrose, Reigns does not have the mic skills at this point to get the crowd behind him as a tweener face, so why not make him a monster heel and put him with Paul Heyman?
There are a lot of intangibles in the scenario I'm about to map out, but here me out here. IF Brock Lesnar decides not to sign with the WWE after Wrestlemania, where would that leave Paul Heyman? Would he just leave? Come back in an authority role? Or take on another superstar? Imo Paul Heyman is much too good at what he does to just put him out to pasture, arguably he's been cutting the greatest promos of his entire career. Soooo again, why not put him with the guy who has everything except the mic skills? Isn't Roman Reigns the "prototypical" Heyman guy after all?
I'm just going to lay it out there... at Mania, Paul Heyman should turn on Brock Lesnar and embrace Roman Reigns. This would be one of the biggest swerves in history and it would make complete sense (at least to me). It keeps Heyman on TV for many more years to come and it completely eliminates the promo problem that WWE faces with Reigns. The reasoning could be "nothing personal, just business" meaning Heyman screwed Lesnar because Lesnar was leaving and he needed to "look out for himself."
Sure it would eliminate the possibility of Reigns as the "face" of the company but I don't see that panning out anyway tbh... I don't see many problems with this but maybe you guys do?
Would you want to see Roman Reigns as the next Heyman guy?
If so, does a swerve at Mania appeal to you?
