2. Yeah, That Was A Heel Turn

If there was any doubt, Seth Rollins made it clear at the conclusion of Raw what his status was.

Rollins delivered two curbstomps to Kevin Owens – after AOP had attacked KO and left him laying. Rollins then laid in the badmouth on Owens to close out the show.

It remains to be seen if AOP is aligned with Seth and they were just teasing a confrontation, but either way, Rollins made it obvious that he’s not the hero of Raw any longer – though his turn could include the delusion that he thinks he’s still trying to save the brand.

We’ll see how this goes, but the constant rain of boos made it impossible to keep him a babyface going forward, so this really was the best option they had.
