Modified May 31, 2015 12:00 GMT

Roman Reigns is at present among the hottest superstars in the WWE. He has the looks, the talent, and the athletic ability to become the top superstar of this era.

However, after his face turn last year, his career is in jeopardy. He has not been getting enough positive crowd reactions of late. There are big chances of Reigns ending up like just another mid-card wrestler.

Reigns is a natural heel and he will thrive well in that role. Him turning heel could be the breakthrough he badly needs.

Now, here is a look at the best feuds for Reigns if he turns heel.

Neville

Neville vs Reigns – Best feud of the summer

Neville, the former NXT champion could give Reigns the fight of his lifetime. Their in-ring styles mesh well together and could even steal the show at PPVs. Neville is new to the main roster and is still waiting for a major feud that could propel his career into the main event picture. When Reigns turns heel, it would be the ideal Face vs Heel feud that could improve both men’s careers.

Both men are very talented between the ropes and Neville could bring the best out of Reigns during their match. Neville brings the excitement and energy to the match while Roman Reigns brings the intensity and physicality to the match. It could be an instant classic.

Dolph Ziggler

Dolph Ziggler can create magic with Roman Reigns. They have great chemistry in the ring. We all know that Ziggler can bring the best out of anyone. Anyone who steps inside the ring with him looks good, because Ziggler is the master in selling moves. Ziggler is now paired with the Ravishing Russian, Lana.He needs a major feud to move on. It would be awesome if it was with Reigns. Just imagine the promos and exchanges between Reigns and Lana. Ziggler- Reigns feud will work like a charm.

Anyways this feud means that the fans are in for a treat. The crowd will go nuts. The feud could end with Reigns winning the match in a heelish way. This could help both men greatly without looking weak.

John Cena

The face of WWE, John Cena surely will cross lines with Roman Reigns down the road. John Cena is 38 years old and he has carried the top superstar tag for about 10 years now. Now it is the responsibility of WWE to find a suitable man to fill his spot once he retires. On analysing the booking of Reigns to date, it is easy for one to assume that he is the next Cena.

But to be in that spot, Reigns needs legitimacy. The crowd still has to believe in him. Like good ol’ Ric Flair said “To be the man, You got to beat the man”. So, Cena putting over Reigns will clearly give credibility to Reigns. Every top superstar from CM Punk, Daniel Bryan to Brock Lesnar have all gone through Cena. So, when Reigns wins, it gives him legitimacy as a main event star.

And that is what is Best for Business.

The Rock

Who can give any wrestler more spotlight than the Electrifying one ? It is the dream of every wrestler to step in the ring with the Great One. This could easily be the biggest feud in Roman Reigns’ young career. The fact that these two powerhouses are from the same family could bring a variety of options to narrate the storyline.

The Brahma Bull has teased a return to WWE for Wrestlemania 32. This could be the chance for Roman Reigns to prove himself. Have him say that he is the best wrestler from his family who represent the Samoan heritage. It would be hard for Reigns to cope with the Rock’s verbal attacks but have Reigns’ in-ring talent speak.

Trust me. These two can blow the roof off at Wrestlemania 32. And with Rock’s drawing power WM 32 could become the best of all time.

Dean Ambrose

If Roman Reigns turns heel, arguably the best feud will be with his former Shield brethren, Dean Ambrose. Right now, Ambrose is pursuing the World Heavyweight Title held by Seth Rollins. Now it is easy to make Reigns heel just by making him interfere Ambrose’s match with Rollins at Elimination Chamber. This path ensures that Rollins retains his title and the intense rivalry begins between Ambrose and Reigns.

Ambrose and Reigns are still bonded and this feud brings some sentiment to the picture which WWE is lacking in its majority feuds. This feud could easily get over with all casual & hardcore fans with Ambrose as the babyface and Reigns as the authority’s heel. This could cement both these superstars as legitimate main eventers. These two know each other very well in ring and can give A+ performance both in the ring and promos.

The Lunatic Fringe will go crazy at Reigns for costing him his match at Elimination Chamber. This feud can bring back many memorable moments from the Attitude Era with Ambrose doing the crazy stuff. Anyways this feud could draw a lot of fans and bring back attention to the company.
