5 of the best heel characters in WWE & AEW

#4 - WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns

Arguably the best iteration of Roman Reigns.

A member of the legendary Anoa'i family, Roman Reigns is arguably the most entertaining star on the WWE SmackDown roster in his current heel character. Being the current WWE Universal Champion and managed by Paul Heyman, Reigns seems unstoppable at present. Predominantly working as a good guy in the last few years, he has earned his spot in the main event scene, and has transitioned well into a heel character.

At SummerSlam 2020, Reigns destroyed Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman following their WWE Universal Championship match. In subsequent months, Reigns aligned himself with Paul Heyman and has recruited his cousin, Jey Uso. The group has become an interesting unit to watch.

At Royal Rumble 2021, Reigns took Kevin Owens to the limit and successfully retained his championship in a Last Man Standing match. Their feud took another turn on a recent episode of WWE SmackDown, with Owens attacking him from behind. His heel character has certainly been entertaining thus far. After years of Reigns being pushed in a certain direction, this Roman Reigns feels like the version we were always meant to see.
