Roman Reigns gets booed out of nearly every building he steps into, prompting the question all WWE fans have been asking lately – why doesn’t he just turn heel? Despite the crowd’s negative reaction to him, the WWE continues to push Reigns as their top baby face and likely the future face of the company.
“The Big Dog” recently did an interview in which he touched on the possibility of turning heel, and explained why he doesn’t think he should:

“Whatever we’ve been doing, it seems to be working. It continues to have loud reactions. Nobody has been to more wrestling shows than me, you know what I mean? I watch every show. I understand reactions. You can be as informed within the wrestling community and the internet as you want but there’s one thing that I know and that’s listening to what kind of reactions are happening.”
“One thing I like about my situation, I think if I were to commit to one (role) ‘I’m a bad guy now, I’m pissed and I’m just gonna try to take everybody’ then it’s just only one (reaction) like, ‘boo.’ But when I’m out there, there’s all kinds of noise. There’s all kinds of chants. It’s pandemonium. I like a mixed reaction. I like people competing as to which is going to be louder, the boos or the cheers. I just want to bring out the most in our fans, give them an opportunity to rage or to fulfill themselves with joy. They spend their hard-earned money, I want them to have a phenomenal experience.”
