The storyline around Roman Reigns continued on this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw and Smackdown Live. The mystery attacker tried to ambush him through an SUV which could have been life-threatening. Thankfully, the franchise player of the company managed to get out of the harm’s way, escaping a disaster and fatal damage.

But more surprisingly, once the attacker bailed, it was the arch-nemesis of Roman Reigns, Samoa Joe who came to The Big Dog’s aid. He checked on him and called the paramedics and also stood by his rival’s side for the time amusing the audience. This led to the speculations regarding a possible babyface turn for Samoa Joe.

However, that may not be the key thing of this sudden turn of events took place on Raw. The fact that Samoa Joe acted like a babyface might have been due to the fact that he received the advice to project the original attacker as the meanest heel of the roster. Daniel Bryan is the concerned name who is likely to be the mastermind behind these attacks so to start a rivalry against Roman Reigns.
Dave Meltzer stated on Wrestling Observer Newsletter that the current plan is to show Daniel Bryan as a heel who can be the meanest person of the roster. He can go down to any level to accomplish his goal which could be life-threatening to another wrestler like Roman Reigns. WWE is even trying to endorse other heels like Samoa Joe into the angle so that the audience gets a disgusted feeling about Daniel Bryan. Here’s more from the source,
“So the idea now is that Daniel Bryan is now such a heel of such proportions that even the other heels don’t want anything to do with him. The idea is that even the heels are appalled at what is happening.” (courtesy wrestletalk.com)
So at this point, there’s no chance that Samoa Joe is turning to a babyface character, soon. The Samoan has not changed his dynamics but rather got involved in a storyline to promote it.
