WWE Veteran Predicts Roman Reigns Will Turn Babyface In The Twilight Of His Career

Roman Reigns wasted no time in ascending to superstardom upon his return in 2020. Capturing the WWE Universal Championship, he has been positioned as the ultimate antagonist in the company's storylines. Nonetheless, numerous individuals strongly believe that a transformation into a heroic character, a babyface turn, is inevitable for Reigns. ## The Tribal Chief continues to reign as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, and there seems to be no end in sight to his dominant tenure. He has effortlessly vanquished every challenger that has dared to confront him thus far. ## During his appearance on the Jim Cornette's Drive Thru podcast, the seasoned WWE veteran discussed the potential babyface turn for Roman Reigns. Cornette asserted that it is practically guaranteed to occur, with one condition. ## “So, it’s, you know, it’s gonna happen. It has to happen. But they don’t need to just say, ‘oh, we wanna turn him babyface now, who can we put him with?’ That doesn’t need to happen. It needs to be obvious to everybody here’s the f****** guy. [But John Cena never turned heel after he returned babyface, is Reigns so good as a heel that you shouldn’t turn him babyface again?] Well, no. Cena never turned heel because the merchandize sales and the Make-A-Wish. ## Going the opposite, no, Roman Reigns because he is such a good heel will eventually, and whether it’s the, I would assume it would be the riding off into the Twilight of his career. I’m not saying wait till he’s 60. Who knows how much longer he’s gonna do this? But it would be for a last run of a year or two. And he already makes sporadic appearances. So, they wouldn’t be beating it to death. But it probably it needs to happen because when you get so good at being bad, the people like it. Roddy Piper, Steve Austin, Jerry Lawler, through territories in history. It’s gonna happen.” ## Will Jimmy Uso Return To WWE At SummerSlam To Add More Twists Roman Reigns Vs. Jey Uso could end up adding up more twists if Jimmy Uso makes a surprising return to aid his brother Jey Uso against Roman Reigns. Jimmy has been out of action with a storyline injury to seemingly create a scenario, possibly to save his brother Jey Uso. ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

Ric Flair: LA Knight Not Roman Reigns Just Yet, But He's On His Way

LA Knight made an unforgettable debut at NXT TakeOver: Vengeance Day on February 14th, 2021, leaving a lasting impression on the audience. However, his transition to the main roster faced some initial challenges, but things have taken a positive turn as he has now gained huge popularity and favor with the fans. Despite this, the legendary Ric Flair believes that LA Knight still has some way to go before reaching the level of Roman Reigns. ## The former NXT Superstar has managed to win over the fans naturally, primarily because of his exceptional ability to connect with the audience, thanks to his outstanding microphone skills. Each week, his popularity continues to soar as fans can't seem to get enough of this WWE Superstar. Nonetheless, he has yet to attain the level of success that many fans had hoped for. ## In a recent interview with Fox News, WWE Hall Of Famer Ric Flair discussed LA Knight's progress in WWE thus far. Flair expressed his opinion that while LA Knight has shown growth, he still has some distance to cover before matching the status and success of someone like Roman Reigns. ## “He’s not Roman Reigns yet, but he just started. He’s been around the market, he’s been back and forth, up and down. Sometimes you just got to find the niche, the right opponent and the right moment. That reunion when he cracked on Taker, I think that kinda started a roll for him.” ## LA Knight's SummerSlam Plans Revealed: Segment or Match? Fans have expressed their frustration with WWE's handling of LA Knight, feeling that he deserves a significant push similar to Daniel Bryan's memorable rise. However, the expected push keeps facing delays, leading to disappointment among supporters. Recent reports now suggest that WWE plans to push him after SummerSlam. However, this raises questions about his involvement in the biggest show of the summer. If he is not facing Theory as initially anticipated, will LA Knight still be featured on the SummerSlam card? ## According to WWE insider Boozer 666, a reputable source known for breaking WWE stories in the past, LA Knight is indeed scheduled to be part of SummerSlam. The insider's tweet mentioned that Knight will be involved in a particular segment or angle during the event, which could potentially evolve into a full-fledged match. ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

Grayson Waller Fires Shots At The Rock, Challenges Him To A Match At SummerSlam

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's recent feud with Grayson Waller on Twitter has proven to be a significant turning point for him. It has brought him immense goodwill after he made a remarkable seven-figure donation to SAG-AFTRA, setting a record for the largest contribution ever made to the union. Furthermore, The Rock has secured a "record-breaking payment" for his upcoming movie, Red One, showcasing his continued success and popularity in the entertainment industry. ## Despite being away from professional wrestling since his WrestleMania 32 match against Eric Rowan in 2016, The Rock's star power remains undiminished in the wrestling world. He continues to enjoy unwavering support from fans. ## In recent developments, Grayson Waller's social media exchange with The Rock has garnered significant attention and excitement from enthusiasts. The situation escalated when Waller took a direct shot at The Great One during a promo on SmackDown, adding fuel to the fire. ## During an interview on Ariel Helwani's MMA Hour, Waller was questioned about the potential for a face-off with The Rock. This exchange on social media has sparked intense interest and speculation among wrestling fans, leaving many eager to see what the future holds. ## “SummerSlam is always a big show. All of a sudden, people start seeing what I can do for these legends. Grayson Waller is on the WWE Legend Rehabilitation Program right now. If you're a WWE legend, it's hard, Twitter, Instagram, you don't know how to go on socials. Come and talk to me, I'll make you relevant again. You saw me do that with John Cena. You saw me do it with Edge. [Rock] is out of work right now. He's unemployed, correct? Actors are on strike. Technically, he's unemployed and needs some work. Who better to help The Rock than Grayson Waller?” ## “I just sent out a video. I didn't even tag him. People think I was clout chasing, I didn't even tag him. All of a sudden, he's coming back with the same insults he's been using for 15 years. I remember when I was 15 and thought you were funny, that was cool. It's an open invitation for the Grayson Waller Effect. If he wants to come on the show. His daughter is in a cult right now in NXT. His family is in shambles on the main show. He seems to be worried about Grayson Waller. We have to do something about it. There are so many legends in town for SummerSlam. I heard Undertaker might be in town. I heard whispers about Steve Austin. I'm hearing all these names thrown around, and for some reason, they all want to find me. If there is a legend in town that wants to talk to Grayson Waller, I'm open to it. It's not up to me, it's up to The Rock. He can make any claims about a busy schedule, but I know he doesn't have a busy schedule now. You wake up at 4 AM to work out, you're done by about 6 AM, you have a whole day free. I'm open. He can say whatever he wants to me, it would be a lot of fun. We'll see if Dwayne has anything to say.” ## Will The Rock Make It To WrestleMania 40? ## There is considerable hope among WWE fans that The Rock will make his long-awaited in-ring return at WrestleMania next year, following his absence from this year's event. Wrestling Observer Radio's Dave Meltzer reported that WWE is once again optimistic about The Rock's comeback, aiming for it to happen at WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia. While The Great One declined to make his return in Los Angeles, he left a slight possibility open for a potential appearance in the future. ## Meltzer emphasized that The Rock's willingness to return is not a firm commitment, and fans shouldn't count on it happening for certain. The decision depends on various factors, including his busy schedule and other commitments. ## Recently, Roman Reigns' victory over Cody Rhodes raised confusion among fans due to the limited number of notable challengers left for the Head of the Table. Reigns has dominated the roster for nearly three years as champion, defeating almost every top babyface. As a result, a fresh, white-hot opponent like Rhodes seems like a natural successor to take on Reigns. ## While there might be an ongoing storyline involving Rhodes, even if he were to dethrone Reigns, it wouldn't be as grand as a WrestleMania moment. Considering The Rock's likely limited availability and the fact that an extended title reign is improbable, a match between him and Reigns doesn't necessarily need to involve a championship stipulation. ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.
