5 reasons why Seth Rollins should main-event WrestleMania

Seth Rollins becomes a new personality altogether in the lead-up to the WrestleMania season. Last year, injuries to Jason Jordan and Dean Ambrose meant Rollins had to venture out on his own, and he brought his A-game throughout the WrestleMania season.

He defeated Roman Reigns and John Cena clean in one night! And Rollins delivered showstopping performances each week, making a solid claim to becoming the top guy on the roster. However, WWE's decision to continue with Reigns resulted in him taking the backseat.

Reigns' absence this time around opens new possibilities for The Kingslayer. He has already main-evented WrestleMania (sort of) back in 2015. With Reigns out and no other top babyface in sight, Seth Rollins could well make WWE his yard in 2019.

We list five reasons why The Architect should design the main event platform for WWE at WrestleMania!

#5 Previous history

As mentioned earlier, Seth Rollins technically featured in the main event of WrestleMania 31. He cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase during the match-up between Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar, winning the WWE Championship in the process.

Seth Rollins was pinned to become a mega star after this cash-in, which was dubbed The Heist of the Century. Rollins held the title for around six months before his knee buckled out and kept The Man out of action for almost a year.

Seth Rollins was in a prime position to main-event WrestleMania 32 against possibly his Shield brothers, but the untimely injury resulted in him missing out from the card altogether. WrestleMania 33 saw him defeat Triple H, while he won the Intercontinental Championship at the Grandest Stage of Them All in 2018.

Seth Rollins has great experience with main-eventing PPVs, and should be at ease if he is chosen to main-event WrestleMania 35.

#4 Tremendous support from WWE Universe

Seth Rollins is arguably the hottest prospect in WWE right now. Fans absolutely adore him, and he has become one of the best babyfaces in recent memory. His face turn in 2016 was initially not well received, but since then he has transcended to become one of the biggest acts on the main roster.

Seth Rollins' feuds with Triple H, Miz, Dolph Ziggler, Kevin Owens, etc all led to the rise in the popularity of Crossfit Jesus. His matches have rarely disappointed, so it's not a surprise that the fans are in awe of this superstar.

Dean Ambrose turning heel by attacking Rollins brought great sympathy for The Architect, and led to a gruesome rivalry with his Shield brother. Roman Reigns main-evented WrestleMania for four years in a row, and was never ever cheered. Seth Rollins could finally break the unwanted streak of WrestleMania ending with a plethora of boos.

#3 Tremendous wrestling abilities

Seth Rollins has the best move-set in WWE

Seth Rollins is arguably the best wrestler on RAW today. Rollins has produced a string of quality matches over the years with a variety of opponents. Seth Rollins' intensity in the ring is second to none, and he can produce matches of the highest quality seven days a week and twice on Sundays!

The last four main-events of WrestleMania were Lesnar-Roman, Taker-Roman, HHH-Roman and Lesnar-Roman (with Rollins making a cameo). All these four matches do not inspire confidence, and are nowhere close to the quality a promotion like NJPW produces.

If WWE wants the hardcore audiences to stand up and take notice, superstars like Seth Rollins should be the highlight of the show every week.

Rollins, Styles, Bryan, etc, are capable of producing instant classics, and they should be the ones main-eventing WrestleMania instead of 50 year old legends.

#2 The Roman factor

WWE is slowing building Seth Rollins for a rumored match-up against Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 35. Roman Reigns during his relentless pursuit of the WWE Universal Championship, made it a point to call out Lesnar for his part-time schedule.

Reigns wanted to dethrone Lesnar and bring back the Universal Championship to RAW. He wanted to be the fighting champion the fans wanted, and he did exactly that albeit for a very short term.

Seth Rollins is the perfect individual to continue Roman Reigns' pursuit, and this story could play off really well with the audiences. Seth Rollins setting out to achieve his dream as well as Roman Reigns' will make for a perfect storyline.

Rollins dethroning Lesnar and hoisting the championship will make for great visual, and a satisfying conclusion to WrestleMania, for the first time in over five years.

#1 The Universal Champion elect

Baron Corbin has been calling himself the General Manager elect for quite some time now, and Roman Reigns during his chase called himself the "Uncrowned Universal Champion". Meanwhile, Seth Rollins has had more shots at the Universal Championship than anyone else.

Seth Rollins featured in the first ever Universal Championship match-up against Finn Balor, he featured in the second ever match-up in which he was "back-stabbed" by Triple H, and he had a string of matches against Kevin Owens but never succeeded.

Seth Rollins is too good a talent to be away from the championship for so long. Ever since he returned from his injury, he has held the title for just two minutes!

Rollins is the individual everyone wants to see as the Universal Champion. He is the Architect of Monday Night Raw, and is the Universal Champion elect.
