5 Big face turns that must happen in WWE in 2021

#1. Roman Reigns - Is 2021 the year WWE will try to turn him face?

Roman Reigns is the head of the table.

This one is admittedly the trickiest face turn that WWE could potentially pull off in 2021. Between early 2015 and late 2018, fans were clamoring for Roman Reigns to turn heel. The forced babyface push that he received saw him become more controversial than polarizing. Many WWE fans knew that a heel turn was necessary to avoid making Reigns follow the John Cena route.

While going the John Cena route isn't a bad thing, the comparisons never helped Roman Reigns. When WWE finally pulled the trigger on his heel turn in 2020, it was a big sigh of relief.

Not only would he regain the Universal Championship after two years, but he would also go on to have the longest World Championship reign of his WWE career. With this reign alone surpassing his previous four in combined length, it's safe to say that Roman Reigns is having the best run of his WWE career.

A fifth WrestleMania main event since 2015 capped it off for him, and with crowds expected to return at some point, Roman Reigns could end up turning face sooner rather than later.
