5-time WWE world champion isn't a babyface or a heel, says Bully Ray: "They are letting the people decide what they want to do"
Since his tremendous performance at WrestleMania XL, Seth Rollins has not been seen with a definitive character. Though the WWE Universe has been treating him as a babyface, the former World Heavyweight Champion has been hinting at a heel turn very soon.
This week's edition of WWE RAW featured Rollins interrupting CM Punk during the latter's promo and going past him, hinting at a potential match in the future. Not only that, but Seth also came face-to-face with Jey Uso after his segment but was not quite happy seeing him.
During a recent edition of the Busted Open Radio podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray explained why fans keep cheering for The Visionary, even though it is hard to understand what plans Triple H has in store for his character. The 53-year-old legend detailed how Rollins' theme song made people stand on their feet and cheer for him.
"Seth Rollins' music hits—'Burn It Down'—you immediately pop. It’s the glass shattering, it’s the 'If you smell...' You’re programmed to react a certain way when you hear the first note of that song, and the way they jack the volume up on it, and it's pumping it through the arena, it gives you that shot of adrenaline. It doesn’t bring you down... So, I believe that people are programmed to pop for Seth Rollins," Bully Ray said. [11:00 - 11:52]
The WWE Hall of Famer also stated that the company is not pushing Rollins, who is a five-time World Champion, as a heel or babyface. Instead, the company is letting fans decide what they want with The Visionary.
"I think they are letting the people decide what they want to do with Seth Rollins," Bully Ray said. [12:46 - 12:52]

Will fans see WWE Superstar Seth Rollins turn heel soon?
Seth Rollins is acting as a babyface in his feud against Bronson Reed currently. The 38-year-old star challenged Reed for a match at any time, showing his fighting spirit. However, Rollins did not give a very warm reaction to Jey Uso and CM Punk during the latest episode of RAW.
While Punk vs. Rollins seems to be the definitive future, it is uncertain if Triple H would explore Seth vs. Jey Uso for the Intercontinental Championship.
