Exploring 6 Different Scenarios For WWE Title Match At WrestleMania 31

2. Roman Reigns Becomes The New Babyface WWE Champion

This is likely the scenario that Vince McMahon has wanted since last year's Royal Rumble when WWE had Reigns break records by throwing out 12 guys and ending up the runner up of that match. WWE has scaled John Cena and Daniel Bryan back to midcard titles with Bryan putting over Reigns in a huge match last month. They wanted Reigns to ascend to the top as the next "face" of WWE. As we have seen in recent months, it hasn't worked that well. While Reigns may be popular with the kids and female fans, it's similar to Cena in that the male fans don't really like him. They see him as a typical guy that WWE likes with the long hair, big muscles and basic power offense. There's also the crowd factor. If the fans hate Reigns from the start of the match and Reigns works as a face then it's going to be one of the most awkward main events in WrestleMania history. We've seen guys get booed before. It happens. It's just that this occasion may top them all. It will be interesting to see if Vince ignores the fans and does what he wants by crowning the next face of WWE. If it doesn't happen, credit the crowd for changing things up. Reigns leaving as the babyface champ is a very strong possibility although the reaction from the fans may not be what Vinny Mac had in mind.
