6 Wrestlers who could join the Authority
Scouting for Authority’s next poster boy?Whether he wins the WWE World Title, it would appear Roman Reigns is going to be the at the center of controversy among the family that has helped him become a star.Survivor Series just got a bit more interesting.Word on allwrestlingnews.com is both Triple H and Vince McMahon have gone back and forth over how the company is going to portray the new leader of the wrestling world. The struggle might be real as far as the two figureheads trying to determine first how Reigns will win the title and second what will happen once the belt is fastened to his waist.It was reported earlier this week that WWE officials have discussed turning Roman Reigns or Dean Ambrose heel in the near future. To add to the report, Triple H is very supportive of turning Reigns heel so he can be aligned with The Authority.Vince McMahon, however, isn’t sold on the idea. He’s been very reluctant to turn Reigns heel and would prefer to make either Ambrose or Dolph Ziggler a lead villainI say split the difference, test the waters to see if a Reigns heel turn generates heat from the fans. If it works, the transition back to a face champion can only work wonders for his career.Reigns turned down the Authority’s offer to become the new front man in exchange for an almost guarantee of winning the company title. Like a good guy, Reigns turns it down and we have all seen how it plays out. Now, we sit and wait for Sunday night and how Reigns finally achieves his dream.But after all this plays out, who becomes the new face of The Authority, or better yet, who sides with Triple H, as it seems he is the only figure head that matters right now.Here are a few performers who might be considered.
#1 Dolph Ziggler
Ziggler needs something more on his resume than toying with Tyler Breeze and another love triangle involving Summer Rae. A rebranding of sorts would work wonders.
What if Ziggler was the one who challenged Reigns once he wins the title, preferably on Monday night? His look is a bit darker, his hair is its natural color and he is accompanied by Triple H?
The best thing about Ziggler is he sells no matter what side of the fence he sits and yes, when it comes to performing in that situation, he is a version of Shawn Michaels in his early years. Ziggler would be a world champion in the old NWA or AWA or even TNA today, if given the chance.
I like Vince’s idea of making him a heel. But realistically, I don’t see it happening anytime soon.
