10 New Directions For WWE Champion Roman Reigns
8. Reigns Versus Jericho
A Dean Ambrose heel turn has been making sense for a while, but with how popular The Lunatic Fringe became in Mania season, WWE are likely doing a rethink on putting him against Reigns this spring.
Which is perhaps why they booked Chris Jericho to go over AJ Styles at Mania. Clearly Jericho is being built for something, and his heel work has been getting solid boos in the last month. It makes sense to put him against Reigns.
The other benefit is that Jericho is a great worker, he and Reigns can perhaps have a match of the year contender. It will make Reigns look even better, further establishing his credibility as champion.
A win over Jericho at Extreme Rules is a wise direction to take.
