WWE news: Stone Cold Steve Austin drops Roman Reigns BOMBSHELL ahead of Money in the Bank
STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN insists Roman Reigns needs to turn heel (villain).
WWE have been trying to establish Reigns as the next face of the company since 2015 but the fans aren’t warming to him
Instead, the WWE Universe boo him in every arena he competes in, even though he wrestles as a babyface (good guy).
The Big Dog had a miserable match against Samoa Joe at Backlash as numerous fans walked out of the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey before the bout even finished.
Many insist the three-time world champion should turn heel and, according to CBS Sports, WWE Hall of Famer Austin agrees with that idea.
GETTY
You've got to turn him heel, and he's got to perform and let loose
The Texas Rattlesnake said on The Steve Austin Show: "So what do you do with Roman Reigns at this point?
"For him to have the biggest run... You've got to turn him heel, and he's got to perform and let loose.
“He needs to be aggressive and go out there: 'This is what you wanted; this is what you get. I don't need your damn support.'
“He needs to bring a mean streak and go on a total heel run."

Austin is a six-time world champion and is considered by many as the greatest WWE legend of all time.
One of the main reasons why Stone Cold has reached that level of success is because he knew how to work a crowd.
Reigns is set to face Jinder Mahal at Money in the Bank on June 17 at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois.
Rumours suggest that he will have another Universal Championship Match against Brock Lesnar in the near future.
