1. Roman Reigns Turning Heel?

The look Roman Reigns shot that huge crowd in New Orleans post-loss to Brock Lesnar was far from a respectful one.

As the announcers thanked everyone for watching, the usual copyright logo flashed up on screen and WWE prepared to fade out, Reigns looked absolutely disgusted with the fans. That was surely deliberate, and it may well mean WWE are finally ready to pull the trigger on a heel turn that should have happened ages ago.

Roman didn't come across as disappointed in himself for losing. His bewildered look had an air of anger in it, almost like the golden boy was willing to blame his detractors for failing. That's heel motivation, and it's the kind of material Reigns needs during promos.

If WWE are sitting on the fence or unsure about Reigns as a villain, they shouldn't be. He proved with those pre-match shoot comments aimed at Lesnar that he has heel fire, and it'd be a crime for WWE's writers to ignore that any longer.

Roman for the top babyface spot at 'Mania 35 then, yeah? Ahem.
