10 Reasons Why Roman Reigns Must Return As A Heel

3. Seth Rollins Can Turn Face

One of the most unfortunate victims of Roman's reign of terror has been Seth Rollins. WWE's MVP of 2015, Rollins was put on the shelf with a blown-out knee last November and immediately, fans yearned for his return. As the months passed, rumours of "The Architect's" recovery spurred on "We want Rollins" chants at WWE shows across the country.

At Extreme Rules, fans got their wish. Following Reigns's victory over AJ Styles, Rollins rushed the ring and planted Reigns with a Pedigree. The applause was deafening. The next evening on Raw, though, Rollins solidified his bad guy status with a heel promo and became another obstacle for Reigns to eventually defeat.

Turning Reigns heel would mean that the company would need a new top babyface to fill John Cena's shoes, and there's no one more suited for the job than Seth Rollins. Really, Rollins has no downside - he's young, he can talk, and he's among the most talented workers in the entire sport.

He's also got a natural likability that he's had to hide as a heel, but that ensures fans would quickly flock to him as a face.

Rollins is the right choice to take the helm as WWE's hero, and with Reigns as a heel, he'd be able to do just that.
