What we learned from the WWE this week: April 10, 2017

A good or bad week?

#4 Raw will probably see a big heel-turn soon

Who’s for the turning?

There are many reasons why fans believe Roman Reigns should have turned heel at WrestleMania. One of the less talked about reasons is that Raw itself is lacking in top heels at the moment.

With Kevin Owens leaving for SmackDown, the top of the Raw roster is now made up of Seth Rollins, Finn Balor, Dean Ambrose, Samoa Joe, Bray Wyatt and Roman Reigns. Only two of these are heels, and with Bray being his own entity that almost takes him into tweener territory. Samoa Joe is going to need some help propping up the dark side. Brock Lesnar can’t really be considered here as it’s unclear how much we will be seeing of him. Plus he isn't really a heel but, more of a part-timer who fits into whatever role he needs to at the time.

To make things even, the red brand is going to need to see a heel turn soon, and it’s pretty clear that isn’t going to come from Roman. I suspect Dean will remain a face for a while, to leave open the possibility of a Shield reunion, so that leaves Finn Balor and Seth Rollins.

Of the two, I would suspect Finn might be turning as Seth has only recently turned babyface himself. Finn might be able to make the heel turn work as he can use it to build a faction, the kind of faction that fans are calling out for, right now. Let’s see where this one goes, but I suspect somebody is for the turning sooner rather than later.
