5 opportunities to turn Roman Reigns heel that WWE wasted

#2 Wrestlemania 32 vs Triple H

The worst ending imaginable happened, and it soured an otherwise solid Wrestlemania

Unlike his main event against Lesnar at the previous year’s Wrestlemania, Reigns vs Triple H was not stellar. Fans were desperate to see something different to the predictable finish that nobody wanted, with a vast number of intriguing possibilities being rumoured heading into the bout.

Would there be a double turn in the works? Was Reigns going to attack a top babyface after the bell, finally embracing the hate? Would Reigns cut a vicious promo on the fans after emerging victorious, turning heel in the process?

Any of these possible finishes (and more) would have satisfied fans more than the horrible ending we endured, with Reigns going over clean as a babyface. The match quality wasn’t top notch either, as both men failed to produce the type of high-quality matchup that should be the main event of a PPV, especially Wrestlemania.

WWE even muted the negative reactions to Reigns and irrelevant chants by the crowd, leaving silence as the main theme of the main event of Wrestlemania 32.

Rather than ending an otherwise solid Wrestlemania on a high note with a Reigns heel turn, WWE gave fans the worst possible outcome, with the finish leading to a much more negative reception of the PPV overall.

Whatever WWE were thinking, it was a horrific decision, and Reigns still remained a face despite a whole year passing since his rejection by fans at Wrestlemania 31.

Unfortunately, the main event of Wrestlemania 32 is another big example of WWE failing to deliver a Reigns heel turn when it is desperately needed.
