Battleground You think Roman will return as a heel?

[Solid Snake]

I read something on his return basically being at the PPV (not before) and it would make more sense for him to return a heel than a face but at the same time, they really haven't did anything about that. I mean from what I see, he has been stuck at a tweener since before Wrestlemania. You think he will show up to Battleground as a heel? Should he stick to being a tween/face?

 

[Prince Bálor]

He's going to get a heel reaction regardless of how they position him.

Obviously he's returning as a heel.. They made it obvious when they acknowledged his suspension on RAW. They can't bring him back as a babyface now.. Reigns wins the WWE Title at Battleground as a heel and feuds with Ambrose going into SummerSlam.

 

[Roadster]

Basically, he isn't getting cheered if he returns. WWE should listen to their fans and play along with the Boos. That same booking strategy made The Rock, and the opposite scenario made Steve Austin. I don't see why they won't turn him heel and use the crowd to get him over.

I think he'll return as a heel. Calling him an embarrassment and unprofessional isn't how main guys should be represented as.

Making him a heel now feels more natural than ever. This is the time to pull the trigger. Dean the face is doing fine as champion. Rollins will eventually turn face, reigns be the major heel.

 

[Snowman1]

The closer we get the more strangely realistic this is... I still doubt it... But never say never? Maybe?

 

[Ryan Blade]

Forget if he'll return as a heel, the real question is will he return with an actual character?

 

[Rosie]

It's now or never. The chance is golden here! People already boo him... He just did drugs...Cool kids don't do drugs (according to Elementary and Middle Schools across most the world)... People will pay to see his butt kicked...Do it WWE...

I honestly don't think Roman will return as a heel. Yeah, we think the time is right now, but the time has been right before as well. And they didn't do it. Honestly I think that they seem determined to keep him from being a heel no matter what is put in front of them.

I've gotten to the point where I probably won't believe it will happen until maybe a day or two after it actually happens.

 

[C.M. Shaddix]

Yes, Seth will turn face and Roman will be heel, though Ambrose should be walking out with the belt for Smackdown

No matter how much they push the babyface or the tweener BS with him, he will always get booed.

Turning him heel would get him over eventually, obviously.

I agree completely but that doesn't mean Vince is going to get his head out of his ass and turn Roman heel. This is something that should have already been done so I have to only believe it when it actually happens.

He's obviously returning as a face. Just listen to the narrative presented. They're presenting him in a way that is supposed to give him sympathy

 

[Prince Bálor]

Yeah, but the crowd says otherwise. Their reply towards Roman will always be: Booooo!

Who cares? Not Vince or any of the decision makers. It's not the entire crowds that boo Roman. It's a small vocal minority, just like Cena. There's still enough of a babyface pull for Roman on screen and as a business piece to justify him being babyface.

WWE is not going to turn someone because a bunch of neckbeards don't like him
