10 Quick Fixes For WWE In 2018

2. That Elusive Roman Reigns Heel Turn

There's no guarantee that turning Roman Reigns heel would achieve anything, but it's a risk WWE should think about taking next year. If the company keep banging their heads against the nearest brick wall, it'll do more harm than good to Reigns. He's a damn fine worker with the right opponents, and he'd be set free as a bad guy.

WWE dropped hints during 2017 that they were going to pull the trigger. Remember when he bragged about beating The Undertaker at WrestleMania and claimed John Cena wasn't in his league? Those were heel moments, and they were also coincidentally some of the most natural in Roman's career to date. He needs more of them.

Both Reigns and those writing material for him have to realise that he's not exactly likeable. He's handsome, talented and a favourite of management. Fans know this, so they're not willing to accept him as their hero. Work with that, instead of pulling in the opposite direction out of spite, and you could have something special.
