Roman Reigns Comments On Being A Face Or Heel In WWE

WWE

Roman Reigns has commented on whether he would prefer to be a babyface or a heel in WWE when winning back the WWE Championship.

Roman made his return to WWE back at SummerSlam, where he helped Cody Rhodes retain his WWE Championship against Solo Sikoa, seemingly turning babyface.

Despite being a babyface on WWE television right now, not much has changed about Roman’s character and demeanour, and Roman has now commented on his character in the company.

Speaking to Sports Illustrated, Roman was asked if would prefer to be a babyface or a heel when recapturing the WWE Championship.

He said:

“I don’t care. I don’t look at it like that. I respect the template we come from, for the artforms sake. When you start drawing, you need colors and you have to define a few things. We went black and white, good vs. evil, and that gives you your starting point. Once you’ve seen a few generations of different types of storytelling and seeing a similar story told over and over, and the audience changes and what they’re exposed to. To me, it’s important to keep the continuity and be the character.

“It took me 39 years to GPS this skin that I wear when I go out there as a performer as The Tribal Chief. That’s why it is important to stick to those guns and not try to be something you’re not. That’s the true thing to do and the most authentic thing to do from my standpoint. You hear the crowd and taken into account what they’re doing. That’s why I refer to it as a babyface reaction, but if I want to turn them on a dime, I can do it. It doesn’t have to be something dastardly. It can be the way I’m carrying myself. I would much rather stick to my guns and what I’ve been doing and stick to the character.”
