For much of it , yes . You ' re not wrong . In fact , Rollins was seen as the default breakout babyface for when it was expected that the Shield would breakup . However , remember when they started going on that losing run towards the end , Rollins started to walk away and spoke of himself as the glue that kept everything together . Rollins became infinitely more interesting from that point forward and it actually fit quite well . The usual fall guy the guy who was seen as probably the weakest of the three turning out to be the one that actually kept it altogether . Whether WWE had that in mind or not , it doesn ' t really matter now because the fact stands that Rollins ' character was able to develop a depth that make the audience care about him . The same wasn ' t afforded to Reigns , and as such I think he ' s in a spot now where people boo him because they just don ' t like him . The next obvious question , though , is how does Reigns ' character survivemove on from this ? Most would probably say turn him heel , let him go full circle and he will eventually return as a hot babyface . I actually think Reigns is still currently salvageable as a face . It will just take some serious planning , though , and some time off TV .
