On whether or not WWE has decided how WrestleMania 32 will end this year:
AJ: It’s funny, you always think that the WrestleMania plan is set. It very well may be but Roman Reigns thought it was set that he was going to be the WWE World Heavyweight Champion at WrestleMania last year. You never really know what is going to happen. There’s no Money In The Bank right now. Anything can happen between now and 3 pm on WrestleMania Sunday. I feel like they are leaving themselves a lot of outs but because of that they are leaving themselves a lot of different ways to spin whatever it is they are trying to do.
On a possible Roman Reigns heel turn:
AJ: It bothers me so much as a Roman Reigns’ fan. I think turning him heel would be an answer they would want to go to. The only problem with that is that then wrestling fans that care too much about the results and not the show, if he turns heel, they’re going to cheer because they are happy he is turning heel. It’s going to be the same issue that you had before. It bothers me because I don’t think he has done anything wrong. He has great match after great match after great match. I just feel bad for the guy.
On AJ’s interesting way to turn Roman Reigns heel at WrestleMania 32:
AJ: I have an idea that I could see happening. Where Roman has all the odds against him and The Authority has him down and then The Rock comes out to make the save. Roman wins because of The Rock and maybe gets upset that The Rock has helped him and that he didn’t think that he could do it himself. Then he turns on The Rock. That would be a great way to turn him heel in a way that people wouldn’t expect. As opposed to him doing it another way. I do think that if he wins this match at Mania that he will be a heel before the end of his reign. It’s only a matter of time until Seth Rollins comes back. When Seth Rollins comes back he’s going to be so hot. It’s going to be a lot like when Triple H blew out his quad. When he comes back people are just going to be so happy that he’s back. He’s going to just by his presence, just by returning, be a babyface.
