7 Ways WWE Can Save Seth Rollins

4. Buying In, Again

HEEL TURN!

Often the rallying cry towards a dead babyface from fantasy bookers and ticket-purchasing fans alike that assume that a taste of the darkside might be as potent as the Guatemalan Insanity Pepper on Homer Simpson's tongue.

It speaks to a time where WWE's booking used to make more sense than it does today, but it does so with affection and hope for the character in question. Seth Rollins is already booed in some arenas, so it'd be barely classified as a turn, but it's not like he'd be short on ammo for why "each and every one of us" can go and f*ck ourselves.

His Twitter game has already alienated half of his fanbase, despite the long and arduous journey his character took to find redemption in a place mostly without it. Rollins earned the respect he's managed to flush away in 2018 - he might as well enjoy the fruits of his accidental labour as well.
