WWE May Be Forced To Finally Turn John Cena 'Heel'

It’s been a tough month for the WWE, at a time when they should be ecstatic. Earlier in the month WWE announced the company’s Q3 2015 financial results which showcased a strong third-quarter. The numbers showed an increase in WWE Network subscribers, which showed a 62% increase from Q3 2014.

But then the news of Seth Rollins’ injury hit the wire and everything changed. Rollins’ injury not only impacted the WWE’s Survivor Series plans but it also impacted their initial plans for WrestleMania 32, which was likely to see Rollins (defending the title) square off against both Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns in the main event.

Yes, Rollins’ injury and the potential fallout created opportunity and rushed fans into a “dream match making” scenario, but it also forced their Creative Department not only to consider solutions but also plan on how to carry the positive financial momentum into 2016 and WrestleMania 32.
