#3. Shouldn't - Seth Rollins is the apparent end game at Wrestlemania 35

WWE has spent the better part of a few months building up Seth Rollins as the man likely to take the Universal Championship from Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 35. Rumours have run rampant about that ever since the early fall.

He's been given free rein in his promos to bash Lesnar and he's been the stand-in champion as IC Champ while Lesnar has been away from WWE. If WWE invested so much time in Rollins as the guy to beat Lesnar, then what point would there be to have Balor win the title on January 27th?

While it would provide the fans with a better overall match and one to look forward to more so than one with a guy who may be on his way out the door, Rollins has been their guy for a while ever since Reigns relinquished his title.

Strowman would have already won the title in one of his other opportunities but they aren't really invested in Strowman as the top guy on Raw.

A Balor win would be great and more than deserved, but it would have made months of storytelling with Rollins pointless. While WWE does often do that with some of its storylines, this isn't one that should be swept away.

They've reportedly had Balor in mind to take Strowman's place for a while, so will Mr McMahon have one of his trademark 'changing his mind' feelings regarding the match? Probably not.
