Roman Reigns had to make a big statement at the Royal Rumble PPV

#5 Three straight losses to Roman Reigns could make Kevin Owens snap

Kevin Owens will always have a heel in him

Roman Reigns is an excellent heel, and no one can take that away from him. On the other hand, "KO" has nailed his role as a babyface who is fighting against a bully on the blue brand. Still, as impressive as he has been, one can’t deny that Owens is simply unmatchable as a heel.

Every time Owens turns heel, he winds up getting over with the crowd. He has always been a fantastic villain. He has been a great heel recently, but many fans would welcome a heel turn. His consecutive losses to Reigns could be one of the main factors that will eventually convince Owens to shift to the dark side on SmackDown.

Kevin Owens is undoubtedly one of the best talkers in WWE today. He takes his game to another level when he is playing a bad guy. If and when he turns heel again, it will only be a matter of time until he's a world title contender again. Regardless, it will be interesting to see the immediate and long-term impact of this feud on both Roman Reigns and Kevin Owens.
