10 Reasons Why Roman Reigns Must Return As A Heel

5. An Eventual WrestleMania Match With The Rock

The Rock hasn't wrestled a proper match (a quick victory over Erick Rowan notwithstanding) since WrestleMania 29 in 2013. Still, it's been clear that he's not done in the ring. "The Great One" has been vocal about wanting as least one more huge match, and it would have happened at WrestleMania 32 had issues with shooting movies not gotten in the way.

Granted, The Rock is a movie star first and a wrestler second (that's not a knock - he's done more for wrestling than anybody and he's earned his fame), so scheduling conflicts may prevent that "one more match" from ever happening - but if it does, the perfect opponent for "The People's Champion" would be a heel Roman Reigns.

Not only would it pit the most popular man in WWE against the most hated, but the fact that the two are cousins opens up a ton of storyline possibilities.

Starting the program between the two would be simple - one Spear from Reigns is all it would take to show The Rock the true measure of his cousin and to make "The Great One" demand a shot at Reigns. Plus, just imagine the promos when Rock talks about how even he couldn't get Reigns over in Philadelphia, or criticises that stupid "The Guy" nickname.
