#2 Who is going to be the top babyface on RAW?
The WWE arguably have a surplus of heels at the moment. If you had to pick five Superstars to carry RAW into the rest of 2017, four of them, currently, are heels. Kevin Owens, Samoa Joe, Braun Strowman, Charlotte and Roman Reigns are the dependable five that most of the top story lines will be built off.
If you turn Roman heel, you will be faced with a serious babyface shortage.
When you discount the part-timers that we are not likely to see for a while after ‘Mania – Undertaker, Goldberg, Lesnar – you don’t really have a lot of options left. Of course, there is Seth Rollins and Finn Balor, but are you really going to trust these two to carry your flagship show considering how prone to injury they have been recently?
Roman fights with a style that means he is much less likely to get injured, and that’s what you need at the top of your billing every week. The only other option would be to turn Kevin Owens babyface and have him fill the role left behind by Roman.
This could potentially work, seeing as the fans already love him, but he can’t compete with all of the heels at once. He will still need a backup.
