Reigns is closer to Batista than anything. His run as
the #1 heel in the WWE as champ will be world's better than any face run he'll deliver.
A month or two as a face champ and fans will sour again because he'll be booked like Cena("I Can, I Will") without the charisma of John and he has never had the support of the children like John has.
Wouldn't work. His hardcore fans that will carry him are the women - not children - and Vince should capitalize on that.
As a smooth talking, a$$hole heel, he'd be great, especially considering he's naturally arrogant.
His perfect nemesis would be the anti-hero Ambrose, who could be the slightly unstable, down to Earth, blue chipper in contrast to Reigns' preppy, egotistical "chosen one" disposition, but I doubt they run with Dean.
As far as pushing the Uso over him in either role

I do believe the Uso could be a upper midcard guy, though. He's charismatic enough.
