10 WWE Questions You Most Want Answered (Jan 31)

1. Roman Reigns Staying As A Babyface

From @joe90101: Do you think they'll keep Roman Reigns a face?
There were a few Roman questions, which isn't a surprise. I decided to go with this one just because there are rumors out there that maybe he's going to turn heel with Paul Heyman as his manager leading up to WrestleMania. That theory is out there because Brock Lesnar has been cheered on both Raw two weeks ago and at the Royal Rumble. It wouldn't be a bad idea, really. The advantage to it is that some fans in the crowd don't like Reigns or want him to be the top guy. Putting him with Heyman would help with his promos because Heyman could do all the talking and Reigns would just be there to beat people up. It's simple booking. Plus, Lesnar as a face could work because WWE fans love him right now. Plus, if you look at it from Roman's perspective the character has a lot of reasons to turn. He's out there busting his ass and the fans are booing him because he's not Daniel Bryan. It's not really fair from his point of view. They could justify the heel turn easily by having The Authority support him as well. Imagine if he attacked Daniel Bryan? He would be hated for it. Is it likely? I doubt it just because I think WWE sees Reigns as a long term babyface they can build around. He's feuding with Lesnar and it will be Heyman's job to make Reigns more likable. Nobody is better at that than Heyman, who is arguably the best heel manager ever as well as the best talker in WWE right now. A heel run for Reigns in the near future makes a lot of sense for a number of reasons. I just don't think it's going to happen. If it did, that would probably be best for business, though.
