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.

Reigns reminded Jey that he elevated him to be his right-hand man and even credited himself for Jey's Main Event status. Jey denied wanting such power, though his shirt said otherwise. He accused Roman of breaking their family and vowed to take action. ## Roman blamed Jey's jealousy for their rift, calling him selfish and predicting he'd end up alone. Roman taunted Jey, saying Solo respected him more. He speculated what would happen if Jey defeated him at SummerSlam, questioning his leadership. Jey defiantly claimed he's beaten Roman before and vowed to do it again. As the crowd chanted "Uso," they locked eyes in a tense stare down before Jey left the ring to end the segment. ## 2.
