3 things WWE should do with Seth Rollins after his loss at Crown Jewel

Seth Rollins lost his Universal Championship to 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt at Crown Jewel 2019. It was a shocking moment as most fans expected Rollins to retain his title since Wyatt is a SmackDown Superstar. But WWE showed us that they do listen to us and put the gold on the hottest character on TV. Now, The Fiend will probably hold on to his title for some time.

That brings us to Seth Rollins. Though he's one of the faces of the company, he has not been quite popular lately. He's not to blame, but his booking has been substandard. Putting him against Baron Corbin started taking away his momentum, and since then, he's been trying hard to get it back.

It doesn't help that he's feuding with The Fiend or the fact that he's been criticizing fans on social media. Therefore, fan interest in Rollins has also declined, and it was the right decision to take the title away from him. They must handle him with extra care for the next few months before the damage becomes irreparable.

Here are 3 things WWE should do with Seth Rollins in the aftermath of Crown Jewel:

#3 Keep Seth Rollins away from the title picture

Universal Champion

Seth Rollins has had quite a successful year in terms of championships and accomplishments. He won the Universal Championship twice by defeating Brock Lesnar on both occasions. He also won the Royal Rumble earlier in the year. Now, it's time for him to step away and have a fresh story.

Giving him a rematch for the Universal title or slotting him in the title picture for any other title will only draw the ire of the WWE Universe. It wouldn't benefit his character at this stage as well. Therefore, WWE should avoid doing that for a few months going forward.

He can have a few feuds in the mid-card and help establish others on the roster. This decision will reduce the pressure on him and allow him to get his mojo back. It will also keep things fresh for fans who've grown to hate his presence at the top of the card.

#2 Not overexpose him

Shouldn't overexpose him

Seth Rollins is one of the faces of the company and has been at the forefront for quite a few years. While that's good, it can also have some negative effects. In today's day and age, there is too much wrestling content to absorb, and wrestlers run the risk of being overexposed easily. When you're an integral part of the company, that becomes more apparent.

Unfortunately, Rollins may be one of the victims of overexposure. So, in an attempt to build him back up, they can use him selectively. He can even be kept off TV for a couple of weeks before returning. It's common knowledge that he is a big draw, but for the sake of his character, they have to avoid using much too much.

They say absence makes the heart grow fonder and Rollins' absence might be a good way to get fans to want him back on TV and appreciate his presence.

#1 Turn him heel

Heel Rollins would be great

In the previous slides, I mentioned that Rollins should refresh his character. No matter what he does, he can't quite be his usual self. What he needs is a heel turn. It's been coming for a while, but it would be better to have it be a slow burner rather than instantly turning him heel.

Unable to handle all the frustration he's dealt with in the last few months, he loses it and wreaks absolute backstage. He could show a lot of edginess and shake things up. But, it would be better if he's not a cowardly heel like he was during his last heel run.

He is damaged and is not able to get out of the rut. The only way he knows to get out of this is to attack everyone and it's a kind of defense mechanism. Rollins has shown in the past that he's more comfortable playing the bad guy. Therefore, a heel run for several months will help him. WWE can also put him back on the top before he feuds against the likes of Aleister Black, Ricochet, and even The Fiend once again many months down the line.
