5 Possible endings to the Roman Reigns vs. Kevin Owens feud - Crucial match at Royal Rumble, epic betrayal on the cards

#1 Kevin Owens turns heel after his feud with Roman Reigns

We might finally see a highly-anticipated heel turn

It was good to see Kevin Owens involved in a title picture against Roman Reigns after KO was forced to spend months on the sidelines. It would be safe to say that he nailed his role as a good guy in his feud with Roman Reigns and actually managed to get the fans to root for him during the encounter between the two Superstars.

That being said, we can’t ignore the fact that while Kevin Owens is good as a babyface, he is brilliant as a heel. We haven’t seen that side of his character in a very long time. It is possible that the end of the feud between Roman Reigns and Kevin Owens coupled with the latter’s failure in winning the Universal Championship will force him to embrace the heel side of his persona.

Even if the creative doesn’t want to turn him into a heel, they should undoubtedly book Owens in a manner that would make him look like an anti-hero. It is challenging to keep the fans invested in a gimmick for so long, and Owens deserves a chance to take control of his narration on SmackDown, especially when the show is drawing so much attention.

The only reason why WWE might decide against this move would be to keep enough babyfaces on the Blue brand so that Roman Reigns continues to look like the most exciting heel. We hope that the creative will roll this dice in the coming months and allow Owens to reunite with his best qualities once done with Roman Reigns.
