No matter how hard WWE tried to push the idea of a heel Seth Rollins when he returned to accept his Slammy award for Superstar of the Year, there is no escaping the fact that when he does finally return to the company following a devastating knee injury, Rollins will be among the biggest babyfaces in pro wrestling. Though he irritated fans through his incessant whining and cheating in 2015, Rollins is a respected wrestler whose in-ring resume speaks for itself. Add to that the fact that he works like a babyface and the transition will be seamless. There is a ready-made storyline awaiting him, too. After serving as the face of The Authority, he was tossed aside in favor of Sheamus, not to mention whoever else Triple H, Stephanie and Vince McMahon find to fill that spot going forward. Vengeful and feeling betrayed, he will return to oppose the very same family that once invested their time, energy and money in him. And the television that stems from the storyline will be glorious.
