Seth Rollins must connect with the crowd before breaking out as a babyface

Better late than never

KO vs Rollins will only get better as the feud progresses.

With Raw needing a new top babyface, they looked to Rollins to fill the vacancy, which was long overdue. Nevertheless, it was better late than never and WWE officially pulled the trigger with Rollins' anticipated face turn at the end of August.

Everyone was excited about the idea of Rollins feuding with Owens over the WWE Universal Championship, and so far, it has been an enjoyable rivalry. Their Clash of Champions encounter may not have lived up to the lofty expectations of many, but I'm positive they will contest an even better bout at Hell in a Cell next month.

That said, the biggest problem this program is that fans don't have much of an incentive to cheer Rollins at this point in time. They want to rally behind him, and perhaps his latest loss to Owens at Sunday's pay-per-view will cause him to become a sympathetic figure in the eyes of the audience, but he has yet to have that one memorable moment to cement his status as a babyface.
