Has WWE turned him full heel at this point do you think? Or is this a thing like HBK WM 25 where Michael came off as heelish going into the match, but when back to being a babyface after it was over?

No. As soon as he left, the announcers gave the, "This is bizarro world/these fans are different!" spiel. If he were heel, I don't think they would have immediately went into "WWE Propaganda!" mode.

"This is my yard, now" seemed pretty damn heelish to me, especially since that was the entirety of the promo, and seems to be intended to rile up the crowd.

"And you know, and I know, Roman Reigns is a good guy. Genuinely a good guy." -Jerry Lawler on Raw Talk
That quote says it all. No. He isn't. He may want to. Hell, He looked like he wanted to say more last night. But Vince says nay. And when Vince says nay, both the performer and audience are expected to follow.

I expect them to put him into the Brock Lesnar territory of "wrecking machine that falls outside of face/heel alignment."

I certainly wouldn't expect so. The commentators scarcely acknowledged the crowd reactions beyond the usual "fans boo who they normally cheer on the night after Wrestlemania" spiel, Lesnar and Strowman are seemingly being lined up as opponents for him (and they're certainly not faces) and Lawler spoke favourably of him after the show. If WWE wanted us to regard him as a heel then you could be damn sure that they would have never stopped talking about the reaction he got from the crowd last night.

That was him doing a Cena style trolling of the audience

I say turn him heel at this point and make him a killer. Build towards face Cena vs. heel Roman at a big match like SummerSlam or WrestleMania.

Until he's actually beating up faces and telling the fans to stick it, no.
People need to let this go.

I thought he kinda did -- beat up Undertaker and came out, listened to the crowd give him and FU and gave them one back with "This is my yard." I don't think everything has to be completely overt, like literally telling them to piss off. But that's just me. Braun and Brock are currently getting face reactions, too. |

With Reigns it does kinda need to be that. He's given off this kind of attitude before and it lead nowhere in particular. Unless Reigns is out there kicking babies and telling fat girls to shut up, I wouldn't believe he's a heel. |

He's a "face" who comes off as a "heel" because the majority of us are "heels".

This is the correct answer. It reminds me of when Punk attacked the Rock at Raw 1000 and people were confused about his alignment despite Jerry coming out with the "turning his back on the WWE Universe" line. WWE will tell you that you should boo/cheer someone, they never do subtlety. |

How many times have we thought he was on a slow burn to a heel turn?
He is absolutely not a heel and won't be any time soon.
