12 WWE Matches We Must See In The Next 12 Months
2. Roman Reigns Vs. Sami Zayn
Roman Reigns needs to turn heel. It's no longer a suggestion or a bit of fantasy booking - it's the only way he'll have long-term (or even short-term) success in the company. Maybe someday down the line he can become a babyface again and maybe it'll even work, but when he comes back, he needs to turn and he has to stay heel for a while.
When Reigns turns, he'll have a whole new slate of opponents to fight, and a new in-ring style to show off. With that in mind, he'll probably have incredible chemistry with Sami Zayn. Reigns playing the bully and Zayn playing the underdog is a dynamic that's guaranteed to draw in fans.
The match itself would be the real draw, though. Reigns has already proven that he can deliver in big-match situations, and as a bully heel using his size and strength to his advantage, he'll be even more interesting. Zayn will take a beating from "The Guy," but come back and hit his signature spots to pop the crowd.
The finish will be the best part, though - just imagine Zayn leapfrogging a Spear and attempting a Helluva Kick as Reigns hits the corner, or Reigns spearing Zayn as he comes in for the kick.
