10 Booking Steps For Seth Rollins' WWE Return

8. Fan Excitement Turns Him Babyface

It makes sense to imagine that Seth Rollins will receive a warm welcome from fans when he does return, just look at the reaction to him during the Slammy Awards Monday Night Raw special. People were thrilled to see Rollins then, so it's logical that they will be even more excited to see him wrestle an actual match. That fan enthusiasm would parlay well into a babyface run, because it's hard to picture Seth being booed heavily. If WWE do position him to question Triple H and Stephanie McMahon, the core audience should rally behind him and fight his corner. That's where the tough booking comes into play, because it could impact on Roman Reigns. WWE badly want Reigns to be the top babyface in the promotion, so it's unlikely they want anyone to have a detrimental effect on his chances. Rollins as a good guy could prove more popular, so the writing team would have to be careful there. Even so, it may come to pass that they don't have a choice, fans will enjoy seeing Rollins back in a WWE ring regularly.
