He’s not the only one who is happy with Roman’s heel turn. Almost all of his fans are quite ecstatic about this change of character.

Even in the match between The Fiend Bray Wyatt, Braun Strowman, and himself, Reigns depicted pure heelish moves. He signed the contract midway, entered half way through the match, and attacked both opponents at their weakest moment.

On top of that, Roman Reigns has paired up with Paul Heyman. The last time Paul Heyman paired with a great heel, he climbed to the top at an advanced speed.

This is none other than Brock Lesnar. However, the Reigns-Heyman alliance is slightly different from the Lesnar-Heyman Alliance.

Roman Reigns directly addresses the audience during the promos while Lesnar used to be absolutely silent. As a personal opinion, these slight differences will make him standout in the WWE universe.
