Truly, what option does the WWE have at this point? Hes already getting booed more than some of the actual heels on the roster. The WWE would be setting themselves up for failure if they continued pushing Reigns as a face. This is the price of breaking kayfabe if the audience knows that the matches are predetermined, then it logically follows that they can help determine their outcomes. Reigns should encourage the booing at every opportunity, and own it rather than ignoring it (or editing out the boos post-broadcast). Triple H could embrace Reigns as a full fledged Authority member. Have him go out all out, and fight fan favorites Daniel Bryan and Dolph Ziggler. Or (as has been rumored), Paul Heyman could backstab Lesnar at Wrestlemania, and claim Reigns as his latest disciple. Thankfully, Lesnar renewed his multi-year contract, and this gives the WWE a lot in regards to story flexibility. Its not too late to save the current angle, but this Sundays main event at Wrestlemania 31 will certainly be a crucial one.
