10 Reasons Why Roman Reigns Must Turn Heel At WWE Survivor Series

7. He's Already Been A Great Heel

Given how hard WWE has worked to get Roman Reigns over as a babyface this year, it's almost hard to remember that he came into the company as a hated heel. With Rollins and Dean Ambrose, Reigns was a member of The Shield, and the trio wreaked havoc across WWE for a year and a half. Reigns, who was the only member of the group without a reputation as a great worker from the indies, was initially considered to be the weak link by many, but it soon became clear that he could more than hold his own. As the group's powerhouse, Reigns went toe to toe with John Cena, Randy Orton, and The Big Show, and while he wasn't as colorful on the microphone as Ambrose (or even Rollins), his silent charisma established him as an ultra-cool bad-ass. Reigns still has all the attributes he did when he was last a heel, but now, he's got the experience that comes from working high-profile singles matches and main events. If WWE chooses to turn him, he'll certainly be able to carry the ball.
