3 Potential Reasons why Seth Rollins isn't turning heel at the moment

After a low-key SmackDown and RAW this week, WWE announced that those classic five-on-five inter-brand Elimination Matches will indeed take place at Survivor Series. For Team RAW, Seth Rollins has been made the captain, and he would team up with Kevin Owens, Randy Orton, Drew McIntyre, and Ricochet.

The Beastslayer hasn't had a great time over the past couple of weeks. Quite recently, he was defeated and brutalized by The Fiend at Crown Jewel in a Falls Count Anywhere match, which resulted in him losing the Universal Championship.

Since then, WWE has been teasing a heel turn for The Architect but nothing has materialized yet. He did face Adam Cole for the NXT Championship last week on RAW, but he was attacked by The Undisputed Era during the match. His future is currently hanging in the balance, as we head towards Survivor Series.

Furthermore, Triple H gave him a chance to join NXT but after this week's RAW, it seems like The Beastslayer will not move to the Black and Gold brand after all. Hence, in this piece, we are going to take a look at the three reasons why Seth Rollins isn't turning heel at the moment:

#3 Because he is still the top face on RAW

The lack of proper faces on the WWE RAW roster is evident from the fact that both the United States Champion and the Universal Champion are heels. Furthermore, there aren't many credible babyface challengers available for them at the moment.

Of all the names you may hear of on the Red brand's roster, Seth Rollins is by far the biggest face and that may be the possible reason why WWE is hesitating to turn him completely heel. At the end of the day, Vince McMahon would want to strike a balance with regard to the heels and faces on the Red brand and that is why Randy Orton might have turned face on this week's RAW. But the fact remains that Rollins is still the only credible face on RAW.

#2 WWE might be thinking that Rollins just needs some time away from the spotlight

This is something that every WWE Superstar encounters in their career. There is a time when one is the hottest thing in the business and then there's a time when things are the exact opposite.

Bray Wyatt is one of the biggest examples of that. His previous 'Eater of the Worlds' gimmick just didn't click with fans after a certain amount of time but now, he is arguably the best character in all of sports entertainment.

Something similar is happening with Seth Rollins. As you might recall, Wyatt was a heel in his previous gimmick and he is a heel with The Fiend. It's just that his character needed a certain amount of believability.

Maybe WWE wants to change certain parts of The Beastslayer's character rather than the character itself. That can be done by keeping Rollins out of the spotlight for some time and then presenting a revamped Seth Rollins. After all, Seth's character is based on 'Rebuild, Redesign, Reclaim.'

#1 Vince McMahon and Paul Heyman are waiting for the right moment

This brings us to the most logical reason why Seth Rollins isn't turning heel at the moment. Vince McMahon and Paul Heyman could just be waiting for the right time and place to go ahead with the swerve.

At this point in time, almost everybody in the WWE Universe thinks that Rollins' heel turn is inevitable and that significantly reduces the shock value of the event, when it does happen.

Therefore, Vince and Paul might want to turn Rollins into a bad guy when nobody sees it coming. As that would make people talk, just like Finn Balor's unexpected heel turn did.

Nevertheless, this heel turn has been coming for a long, long time and to be very honest, The Beastslayer has done most of his best work as a heel.

However, this is all pure speculation and who knows, maybe Heyman just doesn't want Rollins to turn heel just yet.
