WWE COO Triple H officially returned to Raw last Monday and made an immediate impact by getting involved in the Fatal Four-Way main event. Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, Kevin Owens and Big Cass were vying for the right to succeed Finn Balor who surrendered the title due to a shoulder injury. Rollins and Reigns were big favorites though seeing Big Cass win it all was something most were expecting.
In the end, it was perhaps the WWE star who many overlooked that won it all – Kevin Owens. Making matters worse, he won it by pinning Rollins – Triple H’s protégé. So what gives?
The time has come for Rollins’ turn
It will be hard to see how Rollins can transform from a heel to a face wrestler though there are some who have managed to find ways to do so. Steve Austin was one of the best to do that, not to mention Triple H too.
Speculation of a Rollins turn was up in the air even before Wrestlemania 32. But with Rollins sitting it out due to injury, all that had to wait for another day. And from the looks of it, that time has come.
The next question is when will the much-awaited clash take place? Will it be at WWE Survivor Series or Wrestlemania 33? Will it be a one-match affair or an ongoing storyline?
Much of that is expected to be addressed at next Monday Night Raw. Mick Foley and Stephanie McMahon seemed shocked at the turn of events so this new development offers new color to the storylines.
Will it be long or short-term for Kevin Owens at the top?
As for Kevin Owens, it will be interesting how long he can reign with a major title around his waist. He has been notorious for winning titles but eventually losing them quickly. But all that may depend on who he will be feuding next.
There is also Chris Jericho, his ally. Will all still be good between them? Possible dance partners for Owens include Reigns, Sami Zayn or even Big Cass.
