He’s also got his tattoo extended all the way onto half one side of his back, so it’s gonna be a real shocker if/when he comes out with new music and gear being all swole, it’s gonna be a different guy from the neck down.

Def seems like something Roman put thought into If and when I come back, I don't want to be the same guy and he wanted to make it worth his time

Brooding heel Roman with Heyman as a mouthpiece is intriguing to me. I know Heymans non-Brock track record is less than stellar but I think he really can take Roman to another level.

This will last until Brock decides he needs another title run. So a month from now

They just need to take all elements of Heyman that worked and combine it with this for Roman Roman is not a bad talker so i'd have him talk more ala CM Punk with Heyman Have Heyman basically fawn over him like he did Ryback When it is time for Heyman to talk he speaks up Roman as that GUY. Family lineage, champion. The Heyman schtick with new words

The more I think about it, this is f***ing brilliant. Turn him heel while there’s no crowds to screw it up, and 9-12 months down the line when we theoretically have decent sized crowds again fans will be foaming at the mouth for him to turn face again and beat the shit outta Heyman. And after years of trying, they’ll finally have their Roman Reigns megaface.
Granted, people have been saying the whole time that’s how you make Reigns a star on that level, but hey at least they finally caught on. Or, maybe he is so good as a heel and gets so over as a heel you just run with it for a few years. That’s also a possibility, but him becoming a super over babyface sooner rather then later seems more likely.
My only nitpick, is I would’ve closed SummerSlam with the Heyman/Reigns reveal. Roman returning is a decent hook for SD, but you close SummerSlam with Heyman coming down and doing the Shield fist with Roman and then raising his arm with that evil, sleazy grin on his face and there’s no way in hell I’m missing Smackdown

Heel Roman with Heyman vs Face Bray/Fiend for the fall should be good

I can’t believe how fresh and new the landscape feels with this turn. I’m legitimately excited to see how this plays out Sunday. Before SD I probably couldn’t have been bothered to even watch Payback over other sports.

I feel the biggest things that will make this work is if Roman ditches the vest and maybe a music change.

Roman and Braun going heel, bray going face. Bunch of bold moves being made Cotton, let’s see how this plays out. Semi relates but I have no idea how they can do the Fiend face. Something like this

This is great. They and Roman have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

I’m not positive The Fiend is going face though because it seems Bliss is joining him. The team would work really well as a face unit and actually be something of a weakness for heels to exploit, but in Modern WWE I do not remember a face man and woman pairing, I don’t believe they think it works.

Anyone else not really care about alignment? Yeah, heel vs. face is a core pro wrestling thing and most feuds will and probably should stay that way, but I definitely welcome more deviation. If the story is interesting I'll take 3 heels fighting, face vs. face, whatever.

I have to give credit where it's due. I did not see Roman being a Heyman guy coming and was genuinely surprised. Well done on that score WWE.

So is Reigns a heel now? If so, who the f*** is the babyface between him, Bray and Braun? I'll be rooting for Bray so for me at least it'll be Bray.

Heyman should recruit Rollins too, and they should all wear black tactical gear and do the three fists pose together, and act like they've always been a unit and any old photos you might see with a thinner, less-balding third guy are just a sign Paul hasn't aged well. Also have them walk through the crowds together lol. I'd lose my s**t if Heyman tries to do a Dirty Deeds or at least rebounding of the ropes thing that Moxley used to do as Ambrose.
