WWE fans have long since turned their backs on Roman Reigns. Some cheers are still audible, but they're routinely drowned out by those who believe he has been pushed awkwardly into the top babyface slot. It's become very tough for the creative team to convince the audience that Reigns is there to be lauded rather than jeered.

This has forced a slight change in his presentation, Roman appears more arrogant now than he did before WrestleMania. Calling himself 'The Guy', Reigns has a heelish edge to his character that was previously non-existent. That may trigger an epiphany for management at Extreme Rules, Roman Reigns could be about to turn full-blown heel.

That's something unexpected, because WWE typically continue down the path they want regardless of fan response. Negative reactions to Reigns cannot be ignored for too much longer however, he's just not over as a genuine good guy.

If he lost the WWE Title, Reigns could batter Styles relentlessly after the bell and defiantly gesture to the booing audience that they were to blame. A heel turn would be just the thing to surprise everyone and simultaneously reinvigorate Roman.
