10 Things That Would Happen If WWE Seriously Started Listening To The Fans

3. More Organic Heel & Babyface Turns

If it was up to WWE, Roman Reigns would've had another successful year as the promotion's lead babyface in 2018 and Becky Lynch would be SmackDown's top female heel. It's just a shame that those pesky fans had to go and spoil things by rejecting Roman's advances and cheering the anti-heroine bad-assery of Becky, isn't it?

Curse them and their sheep-like mentality. They'll come round. Oh, we mean they're entitled to their opinion, and we'll do everything to give them what they want.

Don't let the words of Vince, Shane, Steph and Trips fool you. They have been listening all along, but simply chose to ignore how fans were responding when it didn't suit their plans. In order for any harmonious company/fan relationship to work, they have to stop with that 'we know what's best for them really' stuff.

By rewiring their own process, WWE would be able to leap on opportunities that present themselves and ensure heel and babyface turns are less robotic and more organic. That's how they should be anyway. Fans are the ones who decide whether a villain or baby works out, not the writers.
