I worry you are right about Rollins. The opportunity to turn him was when he returned, but the guy doesn't have the ego to be a true top star. Rock, Austin, etc. would tell Vince "I wouldn't do it that way, I'd do it this way." Rollins is like the most determinedly pushed utility guy they've ever had. He's brilliant in the ring, and there is a quiet charisma about the guy -- he can structure a promo even if he's not exactly the most bombastic personality they've got. In a perfect world, they'd have Jeff Hardy to feud with him, building to a Ladder Match over a mid-card title. He's never going to be a Rock, Cena or Austin mold babyface. They need to look to those workhorse babyfaces/the high-flyers and work out a way to get him over like that. I'm still predicting Owens vs. Rollins vs. Balor for the RAW "World" Title at WrestleMania (like sixth match from the top), and I can see them getting there by giving the Rumble in San Antonio to Rollins. He's going to be in that main event mix in the same way that Edge and Randy Orton were for years, despite them being a bit "soft." You will buy it, dammit. |

Am I the only one that's not excited for Triple H vs. Seth Rollins at all? The match doesn't have any...oomph behind it.
For one, we've seen Triple H vs. Seth Rollins interact as parts of The Shield and Evolution respectively. Secondly, Rollins has been booked terribly. He wants Triple H's approval more than anything, and the incident that spawned the face turn wasn't followed up on. It's cold and a dead issue. Thirdly, I don't think Rollins gets much from a win, to be honest. Roman Reigns beat Triple H at Mania this year. Triple H has the wrong context to help Rollins, because Rollins is supposed to already be in the title picture. Triple H will be wrestling, and his opponent should be someone that's character gets to new heights because they managed to beat The Game. It should be someone that's never been a champion before. You'd be booking Rollins down to move him up to somewhere behind where he currently is. |

HHH vs anybody doesn't do it for me.
The last time he was interesting was against Daniel Bryan. |

I am excited because Rollins will bring the laugh back when HHH comes back.

I am usually not a fan of the flipity small wrestlers and was completely expecting him to fail, but AJ Styles is a main eventer. He can make everyone he wrestles look like a million bucks. Aside from his mom hair, he just has "it."
Roman Reigns has a great physique, looks good and is athletic, in he ring he is very average. Not once has he made his opponent look good. On the mic he is very cringe worthy, his delivery of promos is ungenuine. He doesn't have "it." |
