Roman Reigns Shows Signs of Turning Heel
Here we go again.
Fans have been begging for a Roman Reigns heel turn for what feels like an eternity. Reigns is not getting fully over as a face and many believe his look and skill set are much more fit for a heel. And last night, Reigns executed some of the most heel acts of his career.

The first thing he did was not necessarily his own action, rather it was something WWE did. They had him come out at number 30 when fans around the world were clamoring for a surprise entry/return. Would it be Samoa Joe? Finn Balor? Nope, Roman Reigns. It was deflating and infuriating at the same time. WWE had to know fans would feel that way, which is why it points toward a potential Reigns heel turn.
But that wasn’t all. Reigns compounded the fans’ rage by eliminating the Undertaker and saying “This is my yard now.” The Undertaker is and will always be a fan favorite. Either we’re finally getting a Reigns heel turn, or WWE is more out of touch than ever in their assessment of how fans will react to things.
