Will Reigns turn face before losing the title?

[wildojinx]

Does anyone think they may turn Roman face before he loses the title? He was reportedly doing some face promos at house shows recently. Only problem is I cant think of any major heel he could take on, maybe Miz (though that has happened before, several times) or they do a double turn with him and Drew (which would be a horrible decision).

Nah and he shouldn't. His reign is one of the modern reigns that deserves a huge "babyface defeats the big bad heel who's been running the territory for years" ending.

[Push R Truth]

We got a couple years to wait before we'll know the answer to this question.

No. Dude needs to lose to either Cody or Drew as a heel.

[ChitownKnight]

He’s gonna have multiple face and heel turns before losing the title at mania 41

[Tiffany Stratton's Daddy]

If they do, they're doing it wrong. He's a lot better as a heel. Whoever gets to dethrone him in 2023 will be instantly over with the fans because they ended Roman's "modern day reign of terror"

I agree that it should be those two who beat Roman for both titles.

Would have said Nakamura for the Universal, but WWE's too start-stop with him, so I don't see it happening.

All of my hope is gone with Nakamura ever doing anything substantial in WWE.

Tomko, give me a beat.

If they turn him, turn him AFTER losing the belt. If he turns before, him losing the belt would not have a big impact as would him losing the belt before the turn.

This will all have been a complete waste of time if he doesn't put over a babyface to drop the belt

So yes, probably

Other than the record profits during his Reign.

Which have nothing to do with the consumers watching the show, or with the basic concepts of storytelling. What the company gets out of putting on a show doesn't have any bearing on the fact the show still needs to be a show.

[Jindrak Mark]

It will be a complete disaster from a storytelling sense if he does.

Imagine HHH from 2002-05 doesn't drop the title to Benoit or Goldberg, doesn't have the storyline with Batista then after 3 years as heel champ he just turns without putting a babyface over.

[Mozenrath]

It makes no sense and would release all of the air out of the reign's already deflating tires, so yeah, WWE will do it in a month or two.

[The Foreigner™: OffSZN]

Would have said no before the Trenton house show speech, but now I'm guessing yes.

[Soultastic]

He shouldn't but considering how long this stupid reign is and will be, he just might.

[msc]

It would be counter productive and not make sense, so almost certainly.
