3-time WWE champion to turn heel due to major real-life injury to another star? Potential feud with Sami Zayn and Jey Uso explored

The fallout from Survivor Series on the recent episode of WWE RAW has added intriguing dynamics to the red brand's landscape. One major development is Seth Rollins' growing involvement in the Bloodline saga, alongside the return of Drew McIntyre.

The Visionary targeted OG Bloodline members Jey Uso and Sami Zayn as they attempted to de-escalate the rising tension between CM Punk and Rollins. Meanwhile, Drew McIntyre has yet to explain his actions after attacking Sami Zayn in the closing moments of RAW.

Amid these developments, it seems possible that the three-time WWE champion, Seth Rollins, could turn heel and align with McIntyre. A significant factor in this potential turn is the real-life injury suffered by Bronson Reed. The Auszilla and The Visionary were feuding, and before Survivor Series, Reed pinned Rollins on RAW with help from a Solo Sikoa distraction. This suggested unfinished business between the two.

However, The Tsunami sustained an injury at Survivor Series after crashing through a table from the top of the cage in an attempt to take out Roman Reigns. With Reed now sidelined, plans for a third match between Rollins and Reed, which fans had anticipated, appear to be canceled.

With this shift in plans, it wouldn't be surprising if Rollins turns villainous on WWE RAW and joins forces with Drew McIntyre. Together, they could feud with Sami Zayn and Jey Uso. Rollins’ alignment with McIntyre would make sense, especially if Sami continues to blame Seth as the mysterious attacker and McIntyre doesn’t admit to being responsible.

Overall, the storyline promises to be captivating as fans await the fallout of Drew’s attack on Sami and the mystery surrounding Jey Uso’s backstage assault.

WWE might have an ulterior motive behind Seth Rollins' heel turn

If The Visionary turns heel in the coming weeks, it’s possible that WWE has an ulterior motive behind this villainous shift. The primary ulterior motive could be to set up a blockbuster clash between CM Punk and Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 41.

Currently, The Best in the World is positioned as a babyface in the Stamford-based promotion, while Rollins operates as more of a tweener. To fully capitalize on the intensity of a Punk vs. Rollins feud, WWE might revert to its classic strategy of a heel-versus-face dynamic, leading to Rollins embracing his darker side.

This potential heel turn could also pave the way for Rollins to reignite his rivalry with Roman Reigns in the near future, especially if he targets the OG Bloodline members following his character shift.
