#1 Money in the Bank 2016 vs Seth Rollins
Trending
If there was ever a perfect time and place to deliver a double turn, this was it. Even though WWE knew about Reigns’ wellness policy failure heading into the bout, the subsequent double turn would have led to a wonderful situation once he had returned, as he could’ve immediately become the top heel to his haters’ dismay.
Seth Rollins, fresh from a thunderous return at Extreme Rules, was incredibly over with the WWE Universe and could have been turned face easily through a number of booking decisions. Ambrose’s cash in wouldn’t be required to be scrapped either, as that could have played perfectly into the double turn.

Imagine Reigns retains, but Ambrose cashes in on him. Reigns, instead of fighting like a defiant babyface, disqualifies himself to keep the gold. Fans would instantly turn on him, as Ambrose’s incredible climax to the top of the industry would have been squandered by ‘The Guy’.
Reigns would beat Ambrose down with a chair, further cementing himself as a heel. Just when it appears Ambrose will be injured by Reigns, Seth Rollins saves Ambrose, attacking Reigns who escapes up the ramp.
The fans would’ve gone crazy if Rollins and Ambrose aligned, and Reigns would have cemented himself as a top heel in his attack on the Lunatic Fringe. On Raw the night after, Ambrose could be gifted a rematch and would win the championship against the heel Reigns, who takes time off due to his suspension.
I may have gone a little too in-depth on that possible booking scenario, but the situation wrote itself. Despite the strong finish and match at Money in the Bank 2016, this double turn could’ve been one of the best moments in the past decade of WWE.
Although it was considered by WWE as per recent reports, it should’ve been executed, and it is the most recent example of WWE wasting yet another wonderful opportunity to turn Roman Reigns heel.
Will we ever see Reigns turn heel? Is it necessary? Let us know in the comments!
