I think The Rock should face a heel at WrestleMania and really put them over as being legitimately worth investing time in. But maybe by teaming with a face he could also get them over as well as getting two heels over? I'd be happy to settle for Rock vs. Zack Ryder one-on-one, though.

I highly doubt Ryder is in a match with Rock next year.
Rock's only got so many matches and they've gotta be big. I don't think any heels are over enough to make it worth Rock's while and I can't see Rock just being used to put one of the guys so far below him over. Jericho might work but I doubt it. I really can't think of anyone but Punk that would really make sense. |

Truthfully, I think that Ryder could have a break-out year in 2012. If they do a King of the Ring later this year, then Ryder would make, in my opinion, the best babyface choice to win it. But I would also not be opposed to seeing Ryder turn heel and become an ambitious clawer looking to get to the top.

If Ryder turns heel, he's jobbing on Superstars within 2 months.

I don't think so. I think it'd be a huge heel turn and would make him a more credible threat.

He was floundering in obscurity as a heel for years. He started doing Z: TLIS and he got a huge following and got a push from it. If he turns heel again, he would instantly be used as fodder. The man can't really act. His promos aren't that great but his dorky persona kinda helps him out. If he turns heel he becomes that pre-internet sensation Zack Ryder once the "heel turn shock" wears off.
A face underdog has a hard enough time staying over in WWE because of the temptation to just job them to the real stars. Turn that underdog heel and the chances cut drastically. You've got a guy Vince doesn't see as a star AND the crowd isn't really on the guys' side anymore to twist his arm. He becomes Curt Hawkins in no time. |

You'd turn him heel because there would be a plan to use him. You don't turn him heel to keep him in the same role, where he would lose steam so quickly.

Exactly. He wouldn't stay in the same role. And I'm sure they would plan to use him. In the end though, WWE even has a hard enough time keeping their main event heels that THEY groomed to be main eventers in a sustained push. You're talking about a guy that they were basically finally forced to give a push because the reaction he was getting twisted their arm. And even then, he got a very short US title run but no matter the reaction they have stalled on really putting in the effort to make him look like a legit star. Add to the fact that he's not that good on the mic and you're taking away the things that got him over despite that? I don't see how he wouldn't be jobbing almost instantly as a heel.

I'd kill to see Rock and Punk, because they would work so well off of each other. I'd also want to commit a hell of a lot less suicide if Rock gave the rub to Punk instead of Cena.
