Will Roman dawn the darkside finally? (Image Courtesy: Bleacher Report)
Ever since making his return to the WWE ring from leukemia recovery, WWE has kept Roman Reigns away from the world title picture. Matter of fact, company officials have decided to keep 'The Big Dog' away from any title picture of any sort.

However, despite being away from the world title scene for this long, there is no doubt in my mind that Roman Reigns will once again go back to receiving negative fan backlash if he is being put back into the Universal Championship picture, especially when it's against a fan favorite like 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt.

The reaction that Reigns got when he entered the Men's Royal Rumble this year also speaks volumes, as fans certainly weren't too pleased about the idea of 'The Big Dog' possibly eliminating Edge and Drew McIntyre to win his second Royal Rumble and set up another WrestleMania clash against Brock Lesnar.
Shades of a heel turn is exactly what Roman Reigns needs right now, if WWE hopes to put 'The Big Dog' back into the Universal Championship picture, the very same title that Reigns never lost in the first place to begin with, mind you!
