3 reasons why Seth Rollins should win the Universal title

Seth Rollins is a prominent superstar of the Red brand who is a top guy of Vince McMahon's billion dollar company. The Architect was the winner of Royal Rumble match this year which was his first Royal Rumble victory. As a result, he got an opportunity to challenge the Universal champion Brock Lesnar at the Grandest Stage of Them All.

With two impressive Intercontinental title reigns last year, Rollins gained momentum. He had awe-inspiring rivalries with Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre, and Dean Ambrose. Rollins climbed up one step more to win the Royal Rumble match and he challenged for the most prestigious title of the red brand.

Considering Braun Strowman and Roman Reigns were in the Universal title picture last year, Rollins did not compete for the Universal title. Though Reigns grabbed the title, he had to relinquish the title. The departure of Reigns left a big void, and Rollins came as an excellent replacement for the Big Dog.

Since WrestleMania is just one month away, the excitement is sky-high. Here we discuss three reasons why Rollins should win the Universal title in New Jersey.

#3 Seth Rollins had a fantastic run as the WWE World champion

Rollins as the WWE World champion

Seth Rollins made history at WrestleMania 31 when he cashed in his Money In the Bank contract to win the WWE title. Rollins was a top heel of the company, and he had a stupendous run as the WWE World champion. Though Rollins is currently a babyface, he could repeat the same feat as the Universal champion.

Meanwhile, Reigns is not the only Shield member to relinquish the title. Seth Rollins also relinquished the WWE title after he suffered an unfortunate knee injury and his memorable title run lasted 221 days.

Rollins had some memorable bouts with Randy Orton, Dean Ambrose, Sting and many more. As a matter of fact, Rollins also won the Superstar of the Year award in 2015. With a remarkable track record as the WWE World champion, he certainly deserves to win the Universal title at the Show of Shows.

#2 Seth Rollins is a Grand Slam champion

Rollins has won all the active titles

Seth Rollins was a massive name in the independent circuit before WWE signed him in 2010. The Architect attained plenty of success after making his debut. He was the inaugural NXT Champion, and he had some remarkable bouts in NXT. Subsequently, he made his main roster debut with the Shield, and the stable made a big statement.

There is no denying that Rollins has achieved a lot as a singles superstar and he is a Grand-slam champion. Rollins won the Intercontinental title twice, US title once, the tag team titles four times and the WWE World title twice. Though Rollins has grabbed all the active titles of WWE, he has not won the Universal title which was introduced in 2016.

Rollins participated in the inaugural Universal title match against Finn Balor but failed to capture the belt. Considering he will headline WrestleMania after winning the Royal Rumble match, he is a deserving candidate to lift his maiden Universal title at Metlife Stadium.

#1 Seth Rollins is not a part-timer

Rollins appears on Raw every week

The current Universal champion Brock Lesnar is a part-timer who appears occasionally. In fact, Lesnar is also not regular in the PPV's as he only participates in selective pay-per-views. Lesnar's last WWE appearance was on the Raw after Royal Rumble where he dismantled Seth Rollins. The current Universal champion did not participate at Elimination Chamber, and he is not scheduled to take part at Fastlane.

There is no denying that Lesnar is a huge draw, but he is a part-timer which is frustrating for the WWE Universe. In fact, it affects the ratings when the champion does not show up regularly. Lesnar's first Universal title run lasted 504 which was the longest World title run in modern history, but he did not defend the title regularly. Furthermore, he defended the Universal title only once after winning the title at Crown Jewel.

The scenario could be different if Seth Rollins manages to win the belt at Grandest Stage of Them All. Since Rollins appears on Raw regularly, the WWE Universe could witness the champion every week. Moreover, he will be able to defend the title in every PPV or even on Raw.
