WWE Rumors: Major Champion To Turn Heel And Get Manager As A Mouthpiece

For over a year now, WWE has worked on getting Roman Reigns over with the fans, and it finally seems to be working. With the WWE World Heavyweight Title around his waist, Reigns may finally become the champion they hoped he would be. That being said, WWE Hall of Famer “Superstar” Billy Graham thinks the champ needs to turn heel and get a manager as his mouthpiece.
“Superstar” Billy Graham is never one that has kept his mouth closed or left his opinion unsaid. On his Facebook page, Graham put up a long post regarding WWE script writers. That’s interesting in itself, but it leads to something bigger.
The idea is going around that Triple H is about to make a return to the ring and could end up winning the Royal Rumble. If that happens, he would get the main event spot at WrestleMania 32 and face the WWE Champion, who is likely to be Roman Reigns.
It appears as if Graham believes this is WWE’s plan and thinks that Reigns should turn heel right after that feud and get a manager to speak for him.
“With no interest by the WWE to have me or anyone else help Roman Reigns with his verbal skills, I suggest after his matches with Triple H they turn him heel and find a mouthpiece for him.”
From that point on though, Graham has an idea for a second match between the two and for it to happen at WrestleMania 32 Interestingly enough, he wants to bring back another WWE legend to join in on the feud.
“What I would like to see happen is after their first match, go for a return match in a cage with Shawn Michaels as the special ref at mania 32 in Dallas. They need some more star power for this coming mania other than the Rock cutting another promo.”
24 Wrestling pointed out that tonight’s main event on Monday Night Raw is a big deal and huge starting point for the “Road to WrestleMania.” Vince McMahon is returning to TV yet again as he will be the special guest referee in the WWE Title Match between Roman Reigns and Sheamus.
His appearance means that something big is certainly going to happen tonight, and that is going to get more people tuning in. That means ratings will be going up and its starting to set the groundwork for the big storylines/angles happening over the next few months.
Graham’s fantasy booking actually makes a lot of sense, and it would work even more if Reigns was then put into a feud with Brock Lesnar. No matter what, the fans are going to cheer for Lesnar and having Reigns as champ and turning heel, it would make the crowd pop even bigger for an F-5.
Lesnar is actually the perfect example of why Reigns needs a manager who can speak for him. Paul Heyman is…well, he’s Paul Heyman. He says 99 percent of what Lesnar needs said, and it elevates him to an even higher level.
