Ever since The Shield broke up, WWE has done everything in its power to try to make Roman a fan favorite. This plan backfired gloriously, as the last thing the WWE Universe wants is for WWE to force them into liking someone.
Although at first, Reigns was heavily cheered when he defeated Randy Orton at SummerSlam 2014 in the biggest win of his career till date, fans soon realized that Reigns was being shoved down their throats. His Rumble win was booed out of the building and even The Rock's presence couldn't save Reigns from fans' wrath.

WWE's numerous attempts to force the fans to like Reigns have failed, and they realize this fact. This will be the biggest factor to take into account when they turn him heel. The most likely scenario would be a ruthless Reigns turning on a babyface Rollins after Mania, and continuing their rivalry from years ago, with the roles reversed this time.
Abhilash Mendhe is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda with nearly five years of experience. He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
