WWE SummerSlam hosted a grudge match between Edge and Seth Rollins. The two superstars had a great build up to the match, especially because of the way things went down between them in 2014.
Rollins pulled out every single trick he had up his sleeve at the pay-per-view. However, he failed to put away the Hall of Famer at The Biggest Party of the Summer.
The first dream match between the two superstars did not disappoint, and Seth Rollins played a great heel character during the contest. Following the loss, it will be interesting to see what The Drip King does next to remain relevant on WWE SmackDown.

Will Rollins move into a new rivalry following his loss at SummerSlam? Or is he going to come face to face with an old foe to decide who will move into the Universal Championship scene next?
Take a look at five directions for Seth Rollins following his decisive loss to Edge at WWE SummerSlam.
#5. Seth Rollins could join Becky Lynch after her WWE SummerSlam return
Seth Rollins has the most narcissistic character in all of WWE today. His current character has led to him facing several humiliating losses in WWE, but it looks like he isn’t bothered by his current record.
Rollins suffered another loss at the hands of Edge at SummerSlam. Meanwhile, Becky Lynch made a successful return to the ring. Lynch defeated Bianca Belair to win the SmackDown Women’s Championship and surprise the entire WWE Universe.
Seth Rollins could look to cash in on his spouse’s success in the months to come. He could turn himself into an even more narcissistic character and join The Man on SmackDown.
Rollins could be moved into a storyline with Lynch where he continues to take credit for his spouse’s success. He could talk about how he helped prepare Lynch for her return and make it the sole reason why she won at SummerSlam.
WWE could even book a few mixed tag team matches between the teams of Lynch & Seth Rollins and Bianca Belair & Montez Ford.
This could be a new direction for The Drip King who could move away from the top of the men’s roster for some time to build a different storyline on SmackDown. It could lead to some big angles before the two head in different directions once more.
#4. Seth Rollins could remain in a rivalry with Edge following WWE SummerSlam
Edge handed Seth Rollins a convincing defeat at WWE SummerSlam. The Drip King put up a great fight against The Rated-R Superstar but failed to put him down after a long match.
Rollins had a similar rivalry against Cesaro not too long ago and continued to target The Swiss Superman after losing to him. He could do the same following SummerSlam and could attack Edge once again on SmackDown to continue the rivalry.
The two men have already delivered a dream match for the fans. However, there is no clear direction for them following SummerSlam. By continuing the rivalry, WWE could keep the two superstars away from the top championship scene for some time before having one of them go after the Universal Championship.
#3. Seth Rollins could get in a rivalry with Big E following his loss at WWE SummerSlam
Seth Rollins had his eyes on the Universal Championship picture when he got into a rivalry with Edge for WWE SummerSlam. The Drip King will be looking for another way to get into the top title picture following his defeat.
Big E is the only man on WWE SmackDown who has a guaranteed title shot to his name. Seth Rollins could turn his focus to the Money in the Bank briefcase winner in the weeks following SmackDown.
The Messiah could target Big E and his Money in the Bank contract on SmackDown and could have a rivalry with him for the briefcase. This will keep Big E and Rollins busy for some time and keep the New Day member away from the Universal Championship scene until he's ready to cash-in.
#2, Seth Rollins could go back to his old gimmick to get a push after WWE SummerSlam
The Drip King gimmick has put Seth Rollins in the spotlight on WWE SmackDown. It is one of the most unique gimmicks in all of WWE today.
However, Rollins has not been as successful in the ring as he would have liked over the past few months. This could force The Messiah to bring back his old gimmick and give himself a push on SmackDown.
Rollins could turn babyface once again and become The Chief Slayer (something similar to his Beast Slayer gimmick). He could then find himself in a rivalry with Roman Reigns when The Tribal Chief is again looking for a new babyface to take down on SmackDown.
#1. Seth Rollins could target Brock Lesnar after his return at WWE SummerSlam
Brock Lesnar returned to WWE after Roman Reigns defeated John Cena at SummerSlam. The Beast immediately got in Reigns’ face and eyed the Universal Championship.
Seth Rollins has had his eyes on the Universal Championship for some time now. That is one of the major factors that led him to a rivalry against Edge. Rollins will surely not be happy with the fact that he lost at SummerSlam, after which Lesnar returned to confront Roman Reigns.
This could lead Seth Rollins to challenge Lesnar to a match to determine who should face The Beast in Saudi Arabia. The rivalry could force The Beast to compete at WWE Extreme Rules before heading to The Kingdom for a bigger contest.
