While it seems that the WWE is heading to another Brock Lesnar match against Reigns, which has long been rumored for SummerSlam, or a fight between Lesnar and the victorious Bobby Lashley, Rollins' loss for Ziggler, ironically enough, was actually a big win for "The Architect", who should position him as a potential potential universal candidate in the near future.
Of course, anyone who has seen the way The fans rebelled against Reigns at both Backlash (when fans came out of Reigns's main event against Samoa Joe) and Money in the Bank (when fans chanted everything in Reigns' book during his match against Jind er Mahal) knows that the WWE risks a hostile takeover of the main SummerSlam event if Rei GNS is somehow in and especially when he becomes Universal Champion. But with Rollins finally switching from the midcard title scene, it's the perfect option to dethrone Lesnar because all of Lesnar's contradictory reports on status indicate that his future at WWE is uncertain and that he should drop that big red belt as soon as possible.
And the fans have made it clear who they want to kill "The Beast:" Nobody other than Seth Rollins.
Rollins was the first heel of the WWE, Rollins made a 180-degree turn to become the most popular. baby's face. Based solely on the reaction of the crowd, there is not a warmer star at WWE than Rollins, which has entered the same stratosphere as stars like Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles as stars that are almost universally beloved. Unsurprisingly, Rollins once again baderted himself as one of the best sellers of WWE merchandise, a distinction that many reports indicate that he would probably have owned since 2015, even though it's not a big deal. he spent a good deal of time hurting himself. With Braun Strowman owning Money in the Bank's wallet, Reigns continues to generate mixed reactions and the majority of Raw's other stars are not well enough represented to be considered formidable opponents of "The Beast" (see: Bobby Roode, Elias Rollins is the obvious choice to finally dethrone Lesnar, which required a defeat of Ziggler at Extreme Rules.
It is, after all, extremely rare that a superstar overcomes the crowd in the same way Rollins has Since 2010, stars like Rusev have come together, but the only superstars who really managed to reach Rollins' popularity are Styles, Bryan, CM Punk and maybe Strowman. where fans and critics have pointed out the need for Lesnar to lose the World Championship because of the detrimental effect he's had on Raw, Rollins has reached a perfect peak.
L & # 3 9, Lesnar's overall impact on the WWE is not just there anymore. His performances in the ring were mediocre at best, his aura is not quite the same, and while Raw's ratings collapsed under his Universal title reign, he showed a remarkably low impact on the WWE Network number of subscribers. Lesnar's goal was to put the title on a supposed star, but with the novelty of Lesnar at WWE, he's no longer a red superstar like Rollins.
Never been hotter. Crowd reaction? Check. Merch sales? Likabilité? Check? Ring performances? Check. Mark Henry, a member of the WWE Hall of Fame, said that Rollins was about to be a great performer of all time:
Seth Rollins is one of the most exciting wrestlers . . He enters this "super" stratusphère, as well as beyond the elite. It becomes – I dare say – a Hall of Fame template. He is going to be one of the best before everything is said and done.
Indeed, there is money to be made with Rollins, but the WWE must hit while iron is hot in order to capitalize on its popularity, which now is a sure thing but ultimately can not be on the road. In recent years, we've seen rising stars like Bray Wyatt (who was selling more merchandise than The Shield, Evolution, and Hulk Hogan in 2014 to cool off considerably in a year), Zack Ryder, Wade Barrett, and D & # 39; countless other WWE casualties wait too long to pull the trigger.
Their careers have never recovered and will probably never be. Rollins is a better global performer than these stars, and as a result, can not be doomed to failure if he does not win the universal title in the photo closely. However, one surefire way to cool one of WWE's hottest stars this decade is that it continues to be neglected at the expense of other stars who are not as popular as it is. Good news, though: Rollins' defeat against Ziggler at Extreme Rules suggests that he's ready to move on to bigger and better things.
This will, of course, depend on WWE's ability to rethink and refocus Rollins bookings. Is he "the guy", or is not it? Decision time is coming soon because Rollins will probably not become more popular, and WWE will make the most of this opportunity before it's too late.
If the Extreme Rules were an indication, however, the time of Rollins arrives [19659003] Blake Oestriecher is a primary school teacher by day and a sports writer by night. He is a contributor to Forbes @SportsMoneyBlog where he mainly covers the WWE. You can follow him on Twitter @BOestriecher
