5 reasons why Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins must be booked in a title feud on WWE SmackDown

#4 Sets up an interesting challenge for Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns won't get a better opportunity than this

After The Shield was disbanded, Roman Reigns was the only one who was continuously booked as a top babyface. Meanwhile, Seth Rollins went on to become one of the best heels in modern-day WWE. An opportunistic Rollins dressed in a suit and gloves had more “drip” in his golden locks than the so-called “Messiah”.

Although Rollins’ current heel gimmick is not his best, we know how incredible he can be at playing a villain. It took a long time for Reigns to prove the same thing. He might be the best heel today, but is he better than prime Rollins? It would be a massive challenge for him to stand across from a naturally entertaining villain and still convince the crowd to root for him.

Roman Reigns now has more control over his promos, and he is doing an excellent job on the mic. He should keep up the same tactics against Rollins, who should also be allowed the same freedom on the mic.

They know each other well and can hurt where it would hurt the most, making the entire rivalry seem as believable as possible. A credible performance in this feud will help Roman Reigns win over another section of his former critics.
