WWE superstars Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch recently appeared on ESPN's First Take to discuss their favorite sports figures who would make great heels in the WWE. ##
Rollins kicked things off by naming Bill Belichick, the legendary head coach of the New England Patriots. "Every good heel contingent needs a great manager," Rollins said. "And Bill Belichick is one of the greatest of all time. He's got the pedigree, he's got the dynasty, he's got the look, but he's also got a scowl. He's got a mean mug, and he's not afraid to take a short cut when he needs to." ##
Lynch then suggested Katie Taylor, the Irish boxer who is widely considered to be one of the greatest female fighters of all time. "Katie Taylor is a killer," Lynch said. "She's damn near unbeatable, but she's also a silent killer. Very dangerous, but also possibly one of the nicest human beings you'll ever meet. You would think that is a good thing. Maybe she is too nice. What is she hiding? Maybe she's hiding something, maybe she's up to something. Maybe that's how she lures you in, and then, right when she's got you, cuts the legs right from under you." ##
Rollins' next pick was LeBron James, the four-time NBA MVP and four-time NBA champion. "LeBron James is too good," Rollins said. "He comes in, drafted number one overall. Want to go to college? No, he ain't gotta go to college. Just come right out of high school, expectations through the roof. Absolutely blows them out of the water. Championships, MVP, all-time leading scorer. You got an accolade, LeBron's got it. Constantly compared to some of the greatest of all time, but everybody's got an opinion about LeBron. Either he's the greatest of all time, or he's never gonna be Kobe. He's never gonna be Mike. You know what, he shrugs it off. He smokes a cigar. He hangs out on a yacht. He does whatever LeBron wants to do. It's his world, we're all just living in it. Very, very easy to dislike. He's too good. He can't be beat."
The second-to-last pick was Sean O'Malley, the UFC fighter who is known for his colorful hair and his face tattoos. "Sean O'Malley is colorful, he's cocky, he's a loudmouth, got the most punchable face in all of sports," Lynch said. "Look at him. Terrible tattoos. How could you not hate this guy? Look at his hair. Full clown hair. He's got face tats. Awful face tats. You just want to punch him right in the face. That's a heel." ##
Finally, things got a little personal for Rollins with his final pick, as he named Aaron Rodgers as the top heel in the sports world. Rollins, a known Chicago Bears fan, got heated as memories of heartbreak caused by Rodgers' Green Bay Packers beating his team clearly came up. "Speaking of punchable faces, we're going all the way to number one, a little personal for me, this is Aaron Rodgers," Rollins said. "You wanna talk about punchable faces, this guy has got the most punchable face in all the NFL, and he knows it, too. He knows it. He's cocky. He's got swag. He goes out there, tells the Bears he owns you. 'I own you'? I think there was some profanity involved there. We won't go there with that. But this is Aaron Rodgers we're talking about. He goes on the McAfee show, he says whatever he wants. He's got all of his opinions. I wish I was a defensive end. I wish I was coming around the edge. I wish I was getting his blind side. I wish I could rip him apart." ##
Rollins and Lynch's picks are sure to generate some debate, but there's no doubt that these five sports figures would make for some great heels in the WWE. ##
