I mean from the Gauntlet match, forward, he’s just coming off more & more like the face of Raw, like exactly what they want Roman to be....your thoughts?

As long and Brock and Roman are on RAW, everyone else has a ceiling. Maybe Braun is the only person who could crack it, but nobody else.
They are probably setting up Rollins for the eventual heel turn, because once Roman gets that belt he's going to cut through EVERYONE.
At thins point, I don't even know what they're waiting for with Roman. He didn't get the belt at WM, he didn't get it at the GRR....what exactly was the point of him beating The Undertaker last year if not to make Roman and Brock the 2 in 23-2 (now, 24-2) so that Roman could be the one to finally slay the beast?
I'm not in favor of Roman being the Champion or the top guy....but I'm also not naive enough to think that after 4 years of this that Vince is just going to pull the plug on Roman now. Too much time, too much money to go back now, and Vince McMahon will never admit he was wrong on anything ever.
It's to the point where let's just put the belt on Roman and get it over with.

They should turn Roman heel & have Rollins chase him....Rollins actually comes off as likeable now, Roman no matter what gets booed

I would not have a problem with that. I hated when he became champ before,but I slowly came around to seeing that he is,at least imo,one of the greats I've seen in my day.

They really seem to be keeping him on the front burner. Ever since he brought back the Blackout, he seems like a new man. Reinvigorated and booked great.
I'd like it if Ambrose returns as a heel by attacking Rollins. When Roman confronts Dean the following week, Dean lays out all the evil s**t Seth did to them during their split. After several weeks, Roman eventually sides with Dean. So you'd have Dean & Roman as the two top heels (something RAW desperately needs) and Rollins & Strowman as the two top faces. Throw Balor, Owens, Zayn and a few others into the mix and you'd have yourself a fresh main event scene for the next year.

i at least give them credit that they never really let Rollins fall back down too far in the card. he's always been presented as a "top guy" even when he's not feuding for the major title
the big red belt has basically been held up for over a year anyway with very few people even getting a shot, so Rollins' place has been solidified. i really want to see him get another main event push and title run, the guy deserves it. he really is at the top of his game in his prime NOW and they need to capitalize.
Rollins has legitimately ALL the tools to be a true megastar. He's amazing in the ring, top 5 in the company right now. He's gotten much better at promos since he first turned....and even then making the best of the garbage they write for him, and he just has "it".

Finally someone says what I've been saying since the first time I saw him as Tyler Black in 2007.

I hope so... Rollins is the most complete performer on the roster imo. He’s the most over face on Raw and quite certainly that shows best in-ring performer.
BUT, I think if Vince is finally ready to let go on Roman it’s because of Braun. I don’t really have a problem with it but Braun has an “attraction” ceiling that Rollins doesn’t have. Rollins is this generations Shawn Michaels. And that’s literally the best compliment I can give him.

The only thing holding Rollins back is Lesnar and Reigns. He's definitely on the same level as AJ Styles by now.

Rollins's main issue is that he's on the same show as Lashley, Lesnar and Reigns and they are the guys who Vince wants on top.
A few years ago he was the top guy in the company and even when the brand split returned he bragged about being the number 1 draft pick so that alone made him a main feature to the show. I also don't like him as IC champion. I personally feel that he's above that title and should only be involved in the main even scene.

I really hope so. It's obvious Rollins has natural love from the fans. I think Rollins cares more for the business and the fans, and the fans can see it, and respect and support him for it. Idk why WWE doesn't go all-in on him. He has it all!

He's not needed and brings nothing to the show. What I don't get is the WWE is oozing with talent so why bring back some guy after 10 years who doesn't draw a dime?

He's not needed and brings nothing to the show. What I don't get is the WWE is oozing with talent so why bring back some guy after 10 years who doesn't draw a dime? The thing is, we don't exactly know WWE's intent with bringing back Lashley. Will he just be someone to feed to Lesnar/Reigns/Strowman? Or are they looking at him as a possible replacement to Lesnar as a legitimate combat competitor outside of WWE? I can picture him become a "jobber to the stars" (especially because we know WWE's history with Black stars like Mark Henry, and Booker T most notably who were decent names but never won anything beyond a WHC when the WWE title mattered more), kind of like Kahli, Big Show, Kane, etc. have been - intimidating and impressive-looking guys who lose to mid/topcarders each week, with an annual "we gotta make this guy look legit so let's turn them heal and give them a PPV win"... I'm think you know what I'm getting at here. Since Lashley is still new to coming back, they want to make him look good and protect him until they figure out what they wanna do with him - which I bet will be to turn him heel and throw to Reigns. P.S. He's not bad on the mic, he's just soft spoken. Not everyone needs to be a loudmouth pie-eater on the mic like Dwayne.

They should have thrown Finn a bone and had him win the Intercontinental title and took Seth to Smackdown. They'd benefit from being as far away from each other as possible, despite they're chemistry I feel like they have a match every other week. That would have made Smackdown the ultimate pure wrestling brand with some amazing potential matches for Seth. Its obvious they're waiting to have another Shield implosion though but it's only really holding Seth back at this point.
He deserves a shot at the top as a face. He's unlikely to get that on Raw like people have said.
Also, hes by far the best member of the Shield and ALWAYS has been. I'm all for opinions but if you have a different one, you're wrong 🤷♂️
