Seth Rollins is coming up with the hottest acts on WWE Raw since Wrestlemania 34. His career took a new turn after winning the Intercontinental Championship at the ‘show of shows’.
This is quite a dull phase for the flagship show when it’s coming up with numerous irrelevant episodes. The franchise player of the company is not ‘over’ with the people.
But there’s one constant name who might be the only reason the fans should tune into WWE Raw each week. Seth Rollins is that one name undoubtedly. He is playing the role of a true champion at a time when the prime champion of WWE Raw is absent. There’s no update either on when his next championship defence will take place.
The Architect of the Shield has put on a lifetime performance on an episode of WWE Raw in February. It was a gauntlet match where he lasted 65 minutes eliminating both Roman Reigns and John Cena. It came via a clean pin which is why it is no less than the accolade of Chris Jericho defeating Stone Cold and The Rock on the same night.
If this was not enough, then he is continuing to give us ‘match of the year’ candidates on a weekly basis, almost. Can anyone than him deserve a Universal title opportunity rather than Seth Rollins at this point? The answer is simply, No.
Some of the fans would say Braun Strowman could have been a better choice. He also has the Greatest Royal Rumble trophy under his pocket to demand an opportunity against the beast incarnate. But the fact is that Lesnar had already defeated him at the No Mercy PPV event. It was a solo contest where an F5 put Strowman down for good.
Brock Lesnar had already defeated Samoa Joe, Roman Reigns, Strowman and Kane en route to his record title reign. It does not leave any viable name on the roster who can match up to his level at this juncture. Seth Rollins is the only name who can claim the same. Plus the fans would be more than happy to see him getting an opportunity.
Seth Rollins had been in the ring with the beast earlier his career. It includes a singles match at Battleground 2015 where the Undertaker interfered. So there’s a score to settle between the two parties as well. A solid champion like him is the best option for the creative team to dethrone a part-time champion like Lesnar.
