10 Reasons Lesnar vs Reigns II Must Happen At WrestleMania 32

4. Reigns Can Turn Heel

One problem with a Reigns-Lesnar rematch is that not much has changed since last year. No matter what roles are assigned to the performers, Lesnar will be cheered at WrestleMania, while Reigns will once again find himself booed. Again, WWE will have cause to doubt that putting Reigns over as a strong babyface is the best course of action. Of course, if Reigns is a heel - either turning before WrestleMania or at the show - the company no longer has to worry about him getting booed. For maximum impact, the best plan of attack would be for Reigns to defeat Sheamus for the title prior to WrestleMania, then take on Lesnar as a babyface. Fans would call for Reigns's head, but he'd keep his cool - until the match. In the closing seconds of an exciting contest, the WWE Champion would resort to underhanded tactics - even those as simple as the use of a steel chair - to retain his title, then continue to pummel Brock after the bell. Reigns would stand tall as the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, proudly defying an angry crowd. Though fans would be mad, it would be for the right reasons, and as a heel, Reigns would escape his stigma as a John Cena carbon copy.
