What about Seth Rollins?


Everyone is talking about John Cena. This is to be expected, mostly because everyone is always talking about John Cena. But it's ramping up even more now, thanks to the fact that he is coming back to WWE on the Memorial Day edition of Monday Night Raw.

But what about Seth Rollins?

Why is all of the focus on the guy that so many fans believe will eventually be consumed by WWE's new era, eventually finding himself on the outside looking in? Is that story more intriguing perhaps?

Is the potential fall of Cena more important than the future of WWE?

The fact is Seth's low profile is likely by design. The last time fans saw him, he was the top heel in the company. He was sitting at the right hand of Triple H and The Authority, representing the McMahon family's best interests.

If WWE followed his rehab and consistently gave updates, he would be overexposed even in his absence. Fans shouldn't want to see the most hated man in the company do well, and they especially shouldn't want to see him readying for his return.

They should want to see him pitched off a roof.

But the death of kayfabe has ruined all of that of course, and now Rollins' return is certainly a topic of conversation. But it's not the topic of conversation. Maybe part of the reason for that has to do with WWE's current top heel.

Actually WWE doesn't currently have a top heel.

Rollins should technically just slide right back into that spot. He worked hard to get there, he did a great job when he got there, and he deserves to be there again. But when it comes to what Rollins should do, many believe a face turn awaits him.

This would perhaps be the worst move WWE could make here. Rollins has no redeeming qualities about him, nothing to make people love him as a babyface. The same character that put him on the fans' bad side is the same character that should keep him there.

How does one get redemption after betraying his brothers?

This goes to the essence of who Seth Rollins is. He had no problem selling out Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose, nor did he have a problem siding with the industry's most corrupt heel faction of all time. He sold his soul to the devil for a chance at greatness, and that's exactly what The Game delivered.

How exactly could he come back from that?

When he does return, he will get a pop. Fans love to show their respect and admiration for the guys that work the hardest for them. Seth is certainly one of those guys. But to believe that pop will carry him to a new character change when he's never made a move in that direction?

That is perhaps just too hard to believe.

Seth is an excellent heel. He was born to be a heel. There hasn't been an active wrestler in the top heel spot since he was injured. There's no one to stop him from taking it now. He is the absolute best fit for it, and no one else even comes close.

Roman Reigns is not turning heel. Fans want it, and logically he should. But this is WWE, and logic doesn't always win out. Chris Jericho could do it, but it's impossible to know when he's leaving again.

AJ Styles is being groomed to be one of WWE's top babyfaces, and he's practically there now. The Bullet Club possibility is just a possibility right now, and it would be a shame to waste him with a heel turn.

This is the perfect time for Seth to come back and take his rightful place as WWE's highly respected, yet most hated man. He is the best one for the job, and he may be the only one for the job.

Seth Rollins has been flying under the radar, but eventually he will be back in the middle of the fray again. If fans aren't talking about him now, they soon will be.
