Triple H was recently interviewed by Sports Illustrated for their ‘Extra Mustard’ section. One of the most interesting parts of the interview was when Triple H was asked about Roman Reigns and the prospect of turning him heel, something that a lot of fans want to see.
Triple H responded to fans that say WWE has failed with Roman and says that based on his current crowd reaction, Reigns is already a heel:
“People can look at Roman Reigns and say, ‘The failed attempt that is Roman Reigns,’ but Roman Reigns sells tickets. Roman Reigns gets one of the loudest reactions every night, whether that reaction is a boo or whether that reaction is a cheer. The fans who say, ‘I don’t understand why they don’t turn Roman Reigns heel!’ Isn’t he already?”
He also says that WWE is currently presenting him in a way to make you hate him:
“If you believe what you believe, and you’re saying, ‘How can they not turn him heel? There is 70 percent of the crowd booing him out of the building!’ If that’s your belief, then isn’t he already the biggest heel we have? If 70 percent of that crowd is booing him, then he’s a heel. We’re just presenting him to you in a different way that makes you hate him.”

If what Triple H is saying is accurate, Roman Reigns will never turn heel. WWE is booking him the way that they do because they want you to hate him. It is confusing and certainly blurs the lines from a traditional babyface and heel standpoint.
