I don't know how on earth you could possibly make the Roman Reigns character sympathetic ever again after all of this. It's been three years of him just going out of the way to ruin the lives of every single person he encounters, especially his own family, while having constant paranoid meltdowns over mild disagreements. The character reads as completely devoid of any kind of empathy whatsoever. To be fair, they’ve had heels just as bad if not worse who ended up being super over as faces later on.

Chris Jericho murdered Mitch in 2016, yet got massive pops 8 months later despite that heinous act.

At this point, the only path any member of the Bloodline might have to redemption is to lose, especially Roman. To turn Roman babyface without losing the title is to kill the entire arc, and may cause irreparable damage to WWE as a whole from a creative standpoint. Vince is on very, _very_ thin ice with a lot of fans over what's happened this past week (on top of every other time when Vince has screwed up the booking or Trips for that matter. Vince is treading into World Class territory in which he is losing the fans' trust and engagement has begun to wane. If Roman is booked to continue holding the title long-term, whether babyface or heel, the titles will continue to lose their value to the audience, to the larger wrestling community and the talent roster. If they can't have it, they will learn not to want it and they will skate by on their money and be "just happy to be here" until they retire or WWE folds. Roman has to suffer a great fall (i.e. losing his titles and the Bloodline) before going on a face turn.
