8. Turn Roman Reigns Heel

There's so much wrong with WWE's product right now that it would be unfair to point to Roman Reigns's portrayal as anything more that a symptom of a bad creative team. Nevertheless, there's no part of the company's output that seems to raise more ire than the three-time WWE Champion's continued push as the top babyface, so it's worth changing.

Turning Roman Reigns heel - preferably in as grand and fantastic a fashion as possible - would do a lot more than simply rob WWE's fanbase of it's main complaint. It would show that Raw hasn't gotten as tired and predictable as people think it is, and that WWE's hardcore fans can still make their voices heard rather than feel like they're shouting into an abyss. Plus, we'd all know that the old adage is still true - "Anything can happen in WWE."

Reigns as a heel opens up a ton of storytelling possibilities - Raw can even become his personal kingdom, where babyfaces challenge him for his position atop the throne. And when he finally does get unseated, an actual top babyface will have been created.
