Triple H knows exactly what it's like to be both a good guy and a bad guy in WWE. He's been the company's most despicable heel on more than one occasion, and was even used in a bid (which was ultimately unsuccessful) to get Roman Reigns over as a babyface back in 2016.
During a recent interview on WWE's The Bump, The Game opened up on Reigns' heel turn after being showed a clip of him with a similar attitude during his very early days as part of the NXT roster.
"I think what you're seeing now is the fully finished product," Triple H said. "Everybody goes through some sort of evolution of who they are, what they want to be, what they want to accomplish with their life and their career. For Roman, I think it's been different because of his family background and all the Samoan Dynasty, so to speak. When you step into that arena with that pressure on you, including The Rock, it's heavy on what you can accomplish and what you can do."
"When you look at Roman," he added, "It's hard not to think this guy has everything possible to not only be a star in WWE but, you know, in anything he wants to do. He looks like a movie star, he's one of the most athletic guys on the roster, he's smart, he's articulate, he's composed. What we see now is the finished article."
It's hard to disagree with those points when Roman has been so damn good in his new role as a heel, and it's going to be a lot of fun seeing where he goes from here. As the Universal Champion paired up with Paul Heyman, he's definitely making quite the impact on SmackDown each week and easily the biggest draw in the company right now.
