Why WWE Must Turn Seth Rollins Heel

Happy-go-lucky Seth has to go...

Simon Miller is getting angry about the fact Seth Rollins is treading water as a babyface, and you wouldn't like him when he's angry. In all seriousness though, WWE should take note, because WhatCulture's own is 100% correct; Seth as a face is seriously lame right now.

What happened to all that arrogance, all that bragging? That was what made Rollins cool, not cheesy speeches about regretting his past or thanking fans for helping him bag the cover of WWE 2K18. Such behaviour just doesn't suit Seth and it doesn't come across as organic either.

In Simon's opinion, it's high time that WWE turned the clock back and let Rollins return to playing the devilish heel character that brought him to the main event dance in the first place.

If they don't, the fans may even turn on poor Seth and treat him like they do Roman Reigns. WWE have already failed to turn Reigns from super-cool villain in The Shield to genuinely likeable babyface, so they don't need Rollins following suit.

Turning Seth heel again would prevent that from happening. Best of all, we'd get the old Seth Rollins back. You know, the one who didn't miss a chance to tell everyone how brilliant he was.

Does Rollins need to turn heel in order to resurrect his WWE career?
