I was honestly hoping that Seth would turn face after his match with Edge. He even voiced his respect for him in his promo this past Friday, before doing the odd Positively Page type smiling while saying rather suspicious things, hinting that he’s still heel. I wish they ran all the way with Seth growing to respect Edge, and slowly have him atone for his past mistakes, maybe even starting by backing up Finn Balor against Roman Reigns. If you really think about it, what other top babyface is there on SmackDown that can be believable enough to beat/feud with Reigns? Reigns has already beat pretty much everybody, and Balor is likely gonna lose just like everyone else before him, so he’ll be out of the equation. Are they really just gonna give the Universal belt back to Lesnar? I marked out for his return, I won’t lie, but I don’t EVER need to see Lesnar with the Universal Title again. IMO, they should turn Seth face, because not only is SmackDown (WWE in general actually) in desperate need of more top babyfaces, but it would be someone who can be believable and credible.
Not to mention, since Seth turned back into a heel, he ends up losing every major feud in the end anyway (Owens, Mysterios, Edge, etc.), and the person who beats him never really goes anywhere because WWE doesn’t follow up on anyone’s momentum 90% of the time. I’m tired of seeing it. Just turn the guy face! He can keep the drip and over the top mannerisms of his current character, but instead of him being a self centered douche, have him be a fighting babyface that the people can get behind (like 2018 Seth).

Unless they plan on him being the one to take the Universal title from Reigns then I’d say keep him where he is. If a Rollins face turn happens it needs to have purpose/substance. How many guys on the face side has Roman beat that are now just floundering around? It’s crowded on that side, there needs to be credible heels other than just Roman and Seth is perfect for that role.

Only if a match with Roman is the Wrestlemania plan. If not, please no. Seth is light years better as a heel.

I feel like Seth is at the point of his career where he won't get cheered for a long time. Fans turned on him without him turning heel for some reason, so I can't see fans warming up to him just yet.

100% disagree. He's doing his best work in years and it's only going to get better when he snaps and brutalises Edge.

2018 Seth Rollins: Best babyface in company Wfigs: Turn him heel! 2021 Seth Rollins: Best heel in company Wfigs: Turn him face! I never wanted him to turn heel in 2018 or 2019. I was perfectly happy with his run and 100% behind him during that time. It was the fickle marks who turned on him because they got worked into a shoot by his Twitter comments and bad booking that was out of his control. Yes I enjoy his heel run, but SD needs faces that can be believable against Reigns. Seth is someone you can turn face and have feud with Reigns and it’d be believable. |

I think few people would disagree with turning him face to go against Reigns for a big match. Specifically Mania. But all of this heel effort has been put into Reigns because Vince believes he's the next Cena. Eventually, it's Reigns who has to turn into the babyface. Rollins could win either title right now as a heel. There would be uncertainty in turning him back babyface imo. And it'd probably feel a little Big Show-ish. So more out of convenience than an organic turn. I know the suits are over, but so much of that works because he's being obnoxious. He's also turned up his vicious volume in this Edge feud. He's a more serious heel right now than he was a month ago, which makes him an even bigger threat to the title as a heel. If they were really on a Reigns vs Rollins path, I think the goal should be Reigns turning face around Rumble. Rollins beats Nakamura and kills time between now and the end of the year. I don't think they're going to do that for Mania, though. |

No way, Seth is a natural heel, he felt out of place when he was a face.
He also seems more comfortable when he's a heel. Everything clicks better imo.

Egh as long as they don’t have him play the “Man’s Man” to Becky and don’t have him cower and scream in the corner of the ring for fear of his life, I guess a face turn would work…

No. He ultimately failed miserably as a babyface in a few years back. A major major blunder in his career that I think he never recovered from was coming back from his knee injury in 2016 and they kept him heel. It made no sense whatsoever. The reaction he got was like triple h circa 2002. Everyone wanted that babyface turn so bad and then they finally pulled the trigger it was too late and was kind of lame.
It should have been Seth coming back and realizing he didn’t need the authority. The authority ending up screwing Rollins and him crawling back to the audience for support made him seem weak. Yeah, he got a decent match and win over Triple H at Mania, but I think the road to get there was not well executed at all. I think it hurt him long-term

I think it hurt him long-term What was even worse was right before his return in 2016, they aired that documentary of his recovery and made him out to be a babyface who just wanted to get back and perform for the fans. Then he actually returns, attacks the most hated performer in the company, gets a heros-welcome from the crowd…and he’s a heel…only to weirdly turn face a few months later because HHH aparently liked Kevin Owens more (and not because Seth’s character had a change of heart or came to realize he messed up). Seth should have returned as a face in 2016 while Roman turned heel. It made perfect sense based on what the crowd wanted but nah…had to keep pushing babyface Roman. |

Why turn him babyface when he is doing the best work of his WWE career right now?

His heel character was an arrogant jerk who spoke down to the fans and then suddenly HHH betrays him and out of nowhere he gets a personality transplant. Had he returned a face like HHH in 02 it worked much better. |

I thought his promo on Smackdown last Friday was brilliantly executed. WWE doesn't have a ton working with its big stars, but heel Seth is working for me for sure.
And I agree, unless it's to face Roman and win the title in a solid storyline, leave him be.

Nah, Some guys are meant to be heels. Like Orton and Brock.
