10 New Directions For WWE After SummerSlam 2016

This may sound like wishful thinking, and perhaps a part of it is—but it’s also based on some sound logic. Or, at least, I like to think it is.

With Seth Rollins losing to Finn Balor, the number one Draft pick finds himself at something of a crossroads. Sure, he could challenge to a rematch for the Universal Championship, but given that he never actually earned his shot in the SummerSlam match in the first place, is he really deserving of another opportunity?

In my eyes, the most feasible alternative would be to plant the seeds for a Seth Rollins face turn by having Stephanie McMahon slowly lose faith in the man she hand-picked as the face of the brand.

If a Seth face turn is ever going to work, he needs to be humbled in some kind of way, and Stephanie’s no stranger to bringing people back down to earth. Plus, Steph turning her back on Seth could easily lead to a Rollins vs. Triple H feud down the line; a rivalry that’s already been months in the making and is bound to get Seth over as a face.

It may be a little sooner than planned, but with few other options regarding Rollins future, a face turn may be the best path to take.
