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.

It's so weird that when he was the super babyface, I felt like he needed to turn heel in the worse way. Now, that he's actually come back and has every reason to be a badass babyface who stands by himself, after fighting off another bout of cancer and actually doing the right thing for himself and taking himself off of TV during the pandemic, they decide he needs to be a heel and saddle him with Paul Heyman. Guys, am I the asshole here, or is it the WWE? I really need to know. A real heel turn now will make him an actual face in the future, not the shoehorned unaccepted one he’s been his entire singles career.

So is Reigns a heel now? If so, who the f*** is the babyface between him, Bray and Braun? Bray. When is Braun a face in any situation?

The funniest and most ironic thing about this is if there was real fans around Romey Rome would now be getting the most consistent face pops of his career with this simply because it’s a new direction of his character. The dude is magnetic, can’t deny that. He’s just been the same dull ass face forced Shield tribute act for the last X years. He’s a guy people want to get behind he’s just been consistently obliterated by shit booking.

Was it 2015 or 2018 when they teased this? I swear I remember a time where Heyman said to beat Lesnar he had to...become something...and like they teased Reigns might look to Paul for guidance to finally beat Brock.

I hope Fiend as a face is somehow like the promo Bray cut before WM30 that was about being an outcast and bullied and how he wants to be a voice for all underdogs, it felt so hugely babyface (then Cena came out and called him a fatty); it's something I haven't seen Bray really tap into since.

I sure hope that this isn’t a fake out or something. I actually think Roman and Heyman could be a great combo.

Certainly a bold strategy to apparently leave Smackdown without a top face... unless they’re really committed to Big E or are making The Fiend a face. I mean, in a pinch, they can elevate Jeff Hardy out of IC level, and despite all of his misfortunes since, Kofi Kingston is and forever will be a former world champion, and if that’s enough for Dolph Ziggler to still be a thing after all these years, it’s enough for Kingston. Plus you can tie that into whatever plans they may have for Big E. There’s also a big match with Daniel Bryan that could happen when he decides to return from paternity leave. Add whatever weirdness that’s probably happening with Wyatt and their tendency to do these things twice with each person, and I think it’ll be enough to get them to WrestleMania. And Otis, don't forget him. Think about it, he's the unconventional guy that already got the girl, and no doubt had there been fans at Mania, Mandy and Otis's kiss would have been one of the biggest pops of the night. He's not the guy that WWE would choose to be front and center, going against somebody who was chosen from day one.

I just went back and watched and they didn't play Roman's music after he returned at Summerslam. You'd think they would after he destroys Braun and Bray and ends the show holding up the title, but they didn't play his music. We didn't hear it on Smackdown either. Makes me wonder if they've got him something new for him for Payback.

PWI’s Mike Johnson reporting that Reigns is set to be SD’s top heel with Strowman also a full-blown heel. Wyatt is turning face. As a wise woman named Sheryl Crow once said, "A change will do you good." She also once said "And he's plain ugly to me" which was just insulting

That makes me wonder if that suggests we may be getting new attire as well. So many exciting possibilities. I swear, I was almost completely done with WWE and a Roman heel turn was pretty much their only ace-in-the-hole left to get me really interested again. Color me intrigued and here’s hoping they don’t screw this up. Of course, this feels a little bittersweet that a heel turn would be happening without crowds and we have to deal with it in such unconventional circumstances, but I’ll absolutely take what I can get at this point!

Let me be the one to say it...
I'm not a bad guy, I'm not a good guy...
And let me add...Roman turns heel. Cena (kinda sorta) did within the context of the FFH match.
2020 everyone!

Seriously, though, people like Bray/Fiend. He sells merch. So why not pull the trigger proper? Just don't neuter him...been thinking of Doink a lot lately and we all know that story. (If we get a happy version of Live in Fear and a mini Fiend named "Fink," I'm out)
I did love that we finally get a Mr. McFeely expy in the FFH. Been waiting for that for a long time. If Alexa does turn, I'd love it if she is goth and all when it's the Fiend, but dresses like Lady Aberlin or a typical 70s kids' show babe on the FFH.
As for Roman...it'll be interesting if they give him a chance to explain his actions. He has ready-made reasons for his turn: Braun taking his chance away (but...if he's heel too...) and it may be bad form to go there, but saying the fans only got behind him because he got sick, that they booed him as usual even that day, and changed their tune only when he made his announcement.
