4. Anyone Else Would Have Been Too Cool
Fans wanted a Dean Ambrose heel turn or Kevin Owens title run to be what replaced Seth Rollins, but that's the whole problem - fans wanted it. Owens is too cool and Ambrose is too well liked, they simply weren't viable choices for the championship spot. Think about it, pushing Reigns against a heel Ambrose would have been disastrous. The Lunatic Fringe would have had as many cheers as The Big Dog. But Reigns against Sheamus, the cheers and boos are going to be for the right characters. That's because the Irishman is a real heel, whereas some of the other candidates for his spot were just too cool or likeable. As for Reigns going heel, that was never an option, WWE are firmly behind him as the next franchise star.
