#3 For the feud to continue for a while

We all know that the WWE Universe hasn't always been kind to Roman Reigns in the past. Even though he's been the babyface for most of his WWE run, the crowd has been very vocal about their dislike for the Big Dog thus far.

However, the best way to get someone over as a babyface is to book them in a program with King Corbin. Even though he's allegedly one of the nicest characters in the locker room, he's such a dislikeable character that he's a perennial heel.

WWE can actually carry out this program on a variety of SmackDown Live Events. The crowd will root for the babyface and boo the heel on every single occasion if this happens.

Had Roman Reigns picked up a victory at the very start, it would have meant that this very feud could have had to prematurely conclude. Now, he has to get his win back.
