10 Last-Minute WWE Payback 2016 Rumors You Need To Know

10. Roman Reigns Turns Heel

At WrestleMania, many WWE fans were hoping - expecting, even - that Roman Reigns would turn heel. We knew his title victory was inevitable, but surely the company recognized that he wasn't working as top babyface and a heel turn would freshen him (and Raw) up.

Unfortunately, Reigns won the title, celebrated before a booing crowd, and that was it. Hopes that he would turn on Raw the following evening were dashed when he didn't do anything but cut a promo.

People are still holding out hope that Reigns will turn. He's wrestling a babyface in the main event of Payback, and some people have even floated the idea that Gallows and Anderson could turn on Styles and form a group with the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Don't expect that to happen - not just because there's no reason for such an alliance, but because Reigns isn't turning.

Yes, it would be exciting, and yes, it would lead to some new stuff on WWE TV, but the company has played their hand and they're going to stick with it for a while. Like it or not, the Reigns era, as it is, will continue.
