Jim Ross Still Hoping For A Roman Reigns Heel Turn

Jim Ross hasn’t been shy about letting the world know how he thinks things should go down in the WWE Title tournament. He’s already said that he feels Roman Reigns should go heel and align himself with The Authority and he reiterated that point on his blog recently.

“Still feel the next WWE Champion should be a disciple of The Authority which gives that heel much needed resources in a variety of ways to help establish taking unfair advantages and having a crutch to lean on while navigating the road to WrestleMania where I’d suggest Brock Lesnar will be waiting. Still of the mindset that Reigns is the guy to put in that position. Lots of great heat can be derived between November to April along with roadblocks for Lesnar and Heyman,”

Ross certainly isn’t the only wrestling mind calling for a Roman Reigns heel turn as Tommy Dreamer recently outlined a similar scenario on Busted Open Nation. Dreamer said the following about the tournament.

“Me personally, I think Dean Ambrose is the guy. I think Dean Ambrose has the people’s – the people are behind Dean Ambrose. There’s an underdog way and there’s also that star way and both – to me honestly, Dean Ambrose should be the guy and it could then have Roman Reigns be like, ‘That was supposed to be my spot’. Now you’re totally flipping the switch and making Roman Reigns the jealous guy, you know, and if you want to go further down layers, you could have an awesome beat-down. Here comes, let’s say, the Wyatt Family. Let’s say they get all back together and then who comes out of his injury? Seth Rollins and then you have The Shield back together again. Because we never really had the big Shield vs. the Wyatt Family, which I thought should’ve been a WrestleMania match. They should never have touched.”
