10 Positives Heading Into WWE Clash Of Champions

10. Seth Rollins' Face Turn

One of the biggest developments during the build to Clash of Champions has been Seth Rollins' eagerly-anticipated face turn.

Many had called for him to come back as a good guy when initially made his return back in May, but clearly the company had other plans. Or at least, they did until those plans were thrown out the window when Finn Balor succumbed to a shoulder injury, paving the way for Rollins to assume the vacant mantle of Monday Night Raw’s top babyface.

Personally, I think this is a positive, even if does mean we could be robbed of that classic super villain cackle of his.

For one, it fills the void left by Balor, while it also sets up a mouth-watering meeting between Rollins and Kevin Owens. Plus, I feel like much of Rollins’ moveset is better-suited to being a babyface, as we saw on Raw this week witch his diving crossbodies from the stage and cage.

There’s also something of a knock-on effect in that it affords Roman Reigns some respite away from the top title, allowing the anti-Reigns brigade some time to cool off and hopefully realise that the guy really isn’t as bad as they think he is.
