QUESTION - Would a Roman Reigns-Seth Rollins heel/face switch a la Austin/Bret be advisable?

Not a bad idea, but I'd rather see things play out a little more organically/realistically I guess.


I don't think it's in Reigns' character to all of a sudden attack Daniel Bryan just out of the blue. But again - I haven't really been watching the programming and so I wouldn't know.


My gut feeling is this: If you have Bryan win the Rumble (fans go nuts), only to have RR win the #1 contender spot from Bryan at the Feb PPV, Reigns would get NUCLEAR heat.....and the heat would be even WORSE if the WWE continued to push Reigns as the "clean cut baby face" between February and Wrestlemania (think - Batista 2014 after he won the rumble) since marks and smarks would perceive this as a misguided backstage political move.


Reigns heat would be so unbelievably nuclear come Wrestlemania, that the fans would cheer the hell out of Rollins by default. That's when you do the switch.
