WWE Roadblock: End Of The Line - 10 Predictions That Must Happen

It's sad, but true - Seth Rollins's face turn really hasn't gone well. When "The Architect" returned and attacked Roman Reigns at Extreme Rules, WWE had the opportunity to turn him into the hottest good guy in the entire company. Of course, that would have meant that Reigns would have had to turn heel, so that was out of the question. Rollins stayed a bad guy even though fans wanted to cheer him, and ended up losing a lot of momentum.

When Rollins finally did turn face after an attack from Triple H, he came off as more of a lame duck. He was feuding with Kevin Owens, but he didn't really know why - nobody knew why Triple H helped Owens win the Universal Title. That, combined with the fact that Owens has been horribly booked as champ, made their feud a real flop.

Of course, Chris Jericho has been the consistent exception to that rule, playing Owens's friend/lackey with aplomb. Twice he cost Jericho the opportunity to win the belt, and now, Rollins is finally going to get his hands on Y2J, As good as Jericho has been, Rollins needs to win this match in order to maintain some level of respectability as a top babyface. Let's hope it happens right.
