Yeah that is so true he would be massive in the indies. The problem is not Roman its WWE, I think that's an established point.
But then you have people like you (not attacking you personally, just the general viewpoint that a lot of people share) who claim that he'd be a great heel. Would he really? Because he's already getting booed how he is right now. If he pulls basically what amounts to a full 180 in his actions, wouldn't logic dictate that he would be cheered for his actions, therefore making him a "face" in the process? I hate to be "that old guy" but.... damn, man, too many entitled-ass fans feeling like if their fantasy be the booker situation doesn't come true immediately, then WWE is fucking up. Are they fucking up in a lot of ways? Absolutely. But this isn't the reason. Reigns seems to be the one thing they are not willing to give up on just because the "vocal majority" or "social media" doesn't like it because he isn't one of their indie or puro darlings. They may have had a few rocks in the road, but it seems like they are finally on the right track with this whole Roman thing, and for once props to them for sticking to their guns on this

I just think its only natural for him to turn heel looking at what the story has been done so far. WWE are fucking up Roman cuz they want him to get cheered but he gets booed in the main event of Wrestlemania. The booking of Roman is whats fucking shit up.

If the future is doing the same exact same thing they have done over the past 3 years then I don't see how they finally back on track. If they are still pursuing to have be the big babyface beating Lesnar clean then it's not gonna have any different outcome. Doing something over and over again and failing is insanity. You adapt and change. Do something different with the character. He has had no character development over the past 3 years. If they do some different with him then yeah they can be on the right track. But judging by the title of the thread they are just going to repeat what they have done before and fail.

Just do something creative with him.

Eh, I can't trust anything regarding Roman getting the title since Mania. Maybe Vince will do another swerve because he is senile

I don't know what it is but personally the thought of Seth vs Brock just makes me feel like a kid again. Can the speedy Rollins stick and move and dodge the Behemoth's strikes? Will a few Suplexes be enough to break the poor underdog in half? Would Seth have to break out all the moves with somersault planchas, elbow drops through announce tables, and springboard phoenix splashes to finally slay the unstoppable Beast? Will Brock just pop up and catch him mid-450 into an F5? I don't know if any of this will happen but I damn sure wanna see how this will play out!!!

Roman vs Lesnar makes me feel old. Really, really old. Why is Vince doing this? Doesn't he see this Roman push isn't working? Don't they see the crowds aren't into... blah blah blah we'll just complain about all this other extra stuff that doesn't matter because at the end of the day we don't care about the match and that's the problem

Of course Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar will happen at SummerSlam. There's no other reason they'd end their Greatest Royal Rumble match the way they did, especially since they had Kurt Angle openly state the referee made the wrong call and Roman should've been declared the winner but the ref's decision is final anyway. As for whether or not he'll win, I think he will but I'm not 100% certain because of WrestleMania, but the story they've been telling here seems to dictate that Roman Reigns pretty much has to win, though I'm admittedly not a fan of that narrative. Their plan to get Roman Reigns over as a face, or at least getting him a face pop when he wins the championship, by stretching out Lesnar's reign to the point where everybody is sick of it would be a fine one if it didn't just result in the fans turning against the product. And maybe not in the sense where they stop watching (certainly there are those who have, and the sizeable crowd leaving during Roman/Joe was at least a step in the right direction if the fans truly want make a stand against his push), but we all witnessed how the audience treated their WrestleMania match, and unless WWE is throwing in another wrestler into match or some other element, it wouldn't surprise me at all to see their SummerSlam encounter receive a similar reaction. I'd prefer a massive walk-out though rather than just "Boring" Chants and Beach Balls galore, because that way if Vince doesn't interpret them walking-out as a slight against top guy Roman, he might interpret it as a slight against PPV's being like 10 hour events.

Also on a tangential note, I do not agree with the idea that Roman Reigns turning heel will only cause the people booing him to start cheering and vice versa. Now, if a heel turn leads to them developing his character into a more interesting figure or if the [hopeful] shift in match structure eases the pain of his push, then certainly those booing him will start to cheer. But if that doesn't happen, and I think there's a good chance it won't, after all Roman's current character is really only a babyface via circumstances (he's placed into a narrative where he's presented as the good guy but his character doesn't need to make any drastic shifts in order to transition into heel), then I doubt he'll get cheered. Especially since as a heel he's competition would likely be guys like Braun Strowman, Seth Rollins, and Finn Balor, I really just can't imagine most crowds cheering for Roman over them. Those who boo Roman do it because for over three years he's been heavily pushed regardless of their vocal opinion on him, and how transparently obvious it is that WWE is trying to cement him as the top guy. From his WrestleMania victories over HHH & Taker, to his this seemingly never-ending feud with Lesnar which would probably be more palatable if it hadn't cut off Braun Strowman's chance for a Universal Championship while he's was arguably at his hottest. Like I said, I could see it working out like with the 50/50 split, especially if people just take that as a win and cheer for that reason but honestly, I feel a heel Roman Reign would mostly amount to a bad-ass heel character (like the other Samoan Joe) and he'd be heavily pushed while facing other really over face characters, which really wouldn't be all that different from what we're getting now, so I don't see why that would change. I guess my point here is that a heel turn is not a magic solution and not guaranteed to get flip reactions, they have to use the heel turn as catalyst to development or else the only thing you really flipped was Roman's opponents and tag partners. And even if it would just flip reactions, so what? If you can get the people complaining about Roman invested in his character successful heel turn, there's a good chance that when you turn him back face there's a likely chance they'll remain on board.

So we kind of expected this to happen at SummerSlam or right around that time. It became "news" of sorts that it will be happening for sure. There are all kinds of rumors around who he is going to drop it to and how it is going to happen. Unfortantly, this is one of the rumors too: WWE Rumors: Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns Planned for SummerSlam Main Event

Does anyone really want to see this happen?

Brock should lose it to someone unexpected that can then laugh in Romans face! Imagine the fued after. Be amazing if Rollins could do it again but alas...

A returning Dean Ambrose maybe.? Shield tie in! Money money money

When I saw the title I thought like the belt was laying on the ground in the locker room or something. BROCK DROPPED THE TITLE.
I heard Double J dropped the NWA title on the floor when fans chanted drop the belt

You know Roman Reigns is like John Cena. And Cena is like a goody two shoes New Yorker who also like the Attitude Adjustment and in 1993 couldn't catch a break as a babyface. You know who got the crowd behind him? Paul Heyman and Tod Gordon. His name Tommy Dreamer. Maybe WWE should and put Heyman in charge of booking Reigns

Let's face the facts: Brock can't cut it because he just ain't done it! He defends limited and when he defends he goes off into another dimension with a psycho ponytail, a muscle picker, and a freaky goat with coconuts and barrage. In the end we're all asking WHY IS HE THE CHAMPION? well maybe dropping the title could help the brand more by giving it to someone who isn't in another dimension with a psycho ponytail.
