While it has been confirmed that Seth Rollins is out of WWE action due to injury, when he returns it may be as a babyface.
Potentially looking for allies to join forces with him upon his return to fend off the dastardly Vision stable, Seth Rollins may have to find friends both new and old.
Here are seven WWE stars to join a new babyface Seth Rollins faction.
7. Austin Theory
WWE fans aren’t exactly sure what is going on behind the scenes with Austin Theory. While Theory was described by his A-Town Down Under tag team partner Grayson Waller as ‘injured’, he also noted their team was over.
Seemingly paving the way for a new start for babyface Theory upon his return, it was later reported that Theory was set to join the heel squad for the upcoming Survivor Series WarGames. Since plans have clearly changed due to Seth Rollins’ injury, there could be changes for Theory as well.
Having been seemingly building more towards a babyface in his last few months of appearances over a more dastardly heel character, it could make even more sense for Theory to re-emerge as an affiliate of a babyface Rollins.
Possibly pulling off a double-agent role in the long-term storytelling, Theory could link up with Breakker now only to betray him on behalf of the babyfaces in the future.

6. Randy Orton
One beloved babyface that shows no specific signs of turning heel in the near future is Randy Orton.
While fans may continue to want to see him attempt to topple Cody Rhodes, so far the Viper has withheld from imbibing his darker impulses and has remained a babyface.
Potentially able to unite with Rollins under the banner of having been both former close on-screen with Triple H, the duo could look to be the defenders of WWE from the chaotic Breaker and Reed.
In an interesting flip from his previous ‘Legend Killer’ iteration, it could be Orton that unites with Rollins to fend off the young upstarts looking to take over WWE by any means necessary.

5. LA Knight
LA Knight remains a fan favorite WWE star that gets very close to winning World Heavyweight Championship but continues to fall short.
Potentially looking to join forces with another fellow babyface upon the return of Seth Rollins, Knight could be an intriguing pairing with Rollins.
Two big and charismatic albeit over the top personalities could create a fun foundation for both comedy and drama as their faction adds new members.
With both carrying the special ability to ad lib brilliant lines during in-ring promo segments, the duo could prove to be just as dangerous on the microphone as in the ring.

4. Oba Femi
A potential call-up to the main roster right now could already be an established babyface by the time Seth Rollins returns to action from injury — Oba Femi.
Presented as a babyface during NXT Championship run regardless of his competition, Femi continued to gain support from fans.
Seemingly a brilliant addition to Seth Rollins on the main roster, Femi’s size and strength ensures that he can hold his own against likely future enemies Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed.
Able to serve as a powerful ally to the faction, Femi could be an amazing choice to join forces with Rollins.

3. Creed Brothers
A tag team that could be picked up by a babyface Rollins faction could be Julius & Brutus Creed.
While the duo are technically heels now under the banner of the dastardly Chad Gable’s rule, by the time Rollins is back in action — things could have changed.
Putting a whole tag team with Rollins could boost the profile of the team but also leave room for a built in rivalry with Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed.
A formidable team whether in a babyface or a heel iteration, the Creed Brothers have demonstrated they can commit the gimmick of the group.

2. Omos
One WWE star that could be making a return to screens in the near future is Omos.
With the engaging star having been able to show off different sides of his personality in recent media appearances, it could be time for the Nigerian Giant to showcase a new side.
Recently popping up on social media to offer his services to Becky Lynch, Omos could always be a babyface bodyguard for Lynch before eventually uniting with a babyface Rollins down the line.
Playing the role of a silent heavy to Becky Lynch now, Omos could go on to reveal his comedic timing and acting chops in backstage segments with others.

1. Sami Zayn
After recently dropping the WWE United States Championship on SmackDown to a returning Ilja Dragunov, the future plans for Zayn aren’t clear.
However, after switching brands to SmackDown he could definitely find himself tangling with the likes of Drew McIntyre and perhaps even Cody Rhodes.
But if there were a need for a babyface to join Seth Rollins upon his return to WWE, Zayn might be the ideal candidate.
A beloved fan favorite all over the world, Zayn’s infectious energy has continued to propel his excellent in-ring work in addition to emotional scenes in between bouts.
