I wouldn't do the switch at Survivor Series. Why? Because - by converting Rollins too soon, he'd become a lukewarm babyface at best (i.e. think - Orton 2004 after Summerslam, Lesnar 2002 after Summerslam).


Continue to build Rollins up as a heel, but transition him from being a cowardly chicken shit heel to a guy that flat out dominates opponents using skill, speed, and wrestling ability. The win over Kane at HIAC was a good starting point. If you do things slowly and gradually, the fans will eventually be screaming for a face turn (think - The Rock 99').
