There’s been a lot of talk lately about Roman Reigns possibly turning heel. Many wrestling personalities such as Tommy Dreamer, Jim Ross and Steve Austin, just to name a few, feel that a Roman Reigns heel turn could give Reigns what he needs to put the pieces in place.
During a recent episode of the Steve Austin Show, Austin talked about why he feels a heel turn would be good for Roman Reigns. See what he had to say below.
“I think Roman needs to be a heel. Go through that journey and then evolve into a babyface. To me, it’s almost going to mirror what the Rock did. WWE brought him in as a white meat baby. People hated him and they wanted to hate him. And then, all of a sudden, the Rock started taking over the Nation of Domination. He was the alpha male in that group. All of a sudden, the promo skills come alive. The character comes alive. The personality comes alive and he turned into the most electrifying man in sports entertainment. Now, I don’t expect Roman Reigns to do that. I expect Roman Reigns to be Roman Reigns, but that’s the road that the Rock went down. I just think, organically, that’s the way it’s going to play out for Roman Reigns. Now, you can try to put him in that babyface spot, that number one spot, right now to see what happens and I’ll be very, very interested to see, if indeed, that’s what they do because I’m just waiting on the edge of my seat to see what happens.”
