Don’t read any more if you don’t want to have the WWE Fastlane main event spoiled. It does come off strange that Roman Reigns is facing two babyfaces on Sunday, and some fans have speculated that Reigns could be turning heel. Well, the heel turn is not happening because, as of this writing, Reigns is supposed to win on Sunday.
I know what you’re thinking here…Lesnar and Ambrose will get huge babyface reactions and Reigns will get booed. You are probably correct with your prediction but WWE doesn’t see it that way. WWE believes that Reigns will have babyface momentum after Sunday and leading up to his match with Triple H at WrestleMania.
Also, Triple H is likely to be cheered at WrestleMania because the hardcore fans that follow NXT see him as the guy in charge of the brand and he’s a babyface on that brand. There is always a chance that plans change between now and the pay-per-view since it’s happened in the past but Vince McMahon seems to be sticking his guns with Reigns this time.
