They got Roman that s it – Ex-WWE personality wants SmackDown Superstar to remain a heel Exclusive

Roman Reigns is the biggest heel in WWE at the moment Former manager Dutch Mantell is against the idea of SmackDown Superstar Ludwig Kaiser breaking away from Gunther and turning babyface. Kaiser was in a singles encounter this week against Shinsuke Nakamura. The King of Strong Style maintained control for most of the match but a strike from Gunther while the referee's back was turned allowed Ludwig to pick up the win. The 32-year-old was pumped after his victory, but his excitement came crashing down as The Ring General chopped him near the entrance ramp, reprimanding him for needing the champ's help. Dutch Mantell was on the latest episode of Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk podcast. He mentioned that WWE should refrain from breaking up and his associate. He detailed that splitting away from the champ would mean that Kaiser would turn babyface at a time when the blue brand needs more heels. "They don't have any heels. They got Roman, that's it. They need another one. I don't know who he would work with if he was a babyface," Mantell claimed. "If they're gonna separate Gunther and his little protégé, I won't like that move because where is the little protégé gonna go? It just doesn't make sense," Mantell said.
