4 Reasons why Seth Rollins as Brock Lesnar's opponent at Wrestlemania 35 would not be a good idea

It was recently revealed by Dave Meltzer that Seth Rollins is earmarked by WWE to headline Wrestlemania 35 against Brock Lesnar. In so many ways, Seth Rollins seems to be the perfect guy to be given the push.

He has been putting on amazing match after amazing match on Raw. He's been involved in all the top feuds on Raw, and every time he has looked like the man who should be in the match with the top billing.

There's hardly any doubting his ability in the ring or out of it, as he has improved the standing of the Intercontinental Championship as well. But by giving Seth Rollins a match-up against Brock Lesnar, there are many things that would happen as a consequence that maybe shouldn't, which would leave a sour taste in the mouths of the viewers.

1. Roman Reigns' leukemia would still be a big part of the storyline

Dave Meltzer also reported in the same news that the build-up of the match between Seth Rollins and Brock Lesnar would involve Roman Reigns' leukemia in the background.

Admittedly, the constant mention and the way Roman Reigns' Leukemia has been handled by WWE is borderline cringe-worthy now, and the fact that it would get stretched until Wrestlemania is something no fan would be looking forward to.

It's just not something that a storyline should rotate around. At some point of time, WWE needs to understand that they risk putting the fans off big time if they continue these antics. There are already signs that the WWE fans are not really huge fans of the constant mention of Roman Reigns' condition in the feud between Ambrose and Rollins.

2. Braun Strowman would end up losing to Brock Lesnar again and going down 3-0 against the Beast

If it is true that Seth Rollins will face Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania, it means that Braun Strowman will lose his match against Brock Lesnar at the Royal Rumble.He would be 3-0 against Brock, i.e. he would have lost 3 matches straight against Brock.

This would go a long way in killing the momentum that Braun has been generating for a long time now. But it would also give a clear signal that WWE just doesn't see Braun as "The Man" capable of holding that belt.

Where Braun goes from that is anyone's guess, but that will push him a long way down the pecking order, and for someone who has worked so hard and is a crowd favorite for a few years now, it would a bitter pill to swallow.

3. Drew McIntyre's year-long steady growth goes down the gutter

Bit by bit, the Scottish Psychopath, has been built up very very steadily by WWE throughout the year.

One stat which maybe no one might have noticed until now is that Drew has not been pinned even once ever since he's come back to RAW.

Everyone, including many experts, thought that Drew would finally get the push for the main event soon with a win at the Royal Rumble. Headlining Wrestlemania in a championship match looked like a possibility for Drew.

But if this is true, then Drew will again be pushed into a feud with someone else which may increase his credibility, but as was seen with Braun, if the push doesn't ultimately culminate in a championship run it does die out.

4. It's all about Reigns again

Another issue with Rollins facing Brock Lesnar and the consequent leukemia link up is that people would assume WWE is trying both to keep Roman successful and to bind him in a storyline with Lesnar in the future whenever he comes back. It's all good that WWE wants to push Roman to the moon, but even despite his current condition, the amount of faith WWE puts in Roman is unbelievable.

It might be a morale booster for some, but at the same time, consistent hard workers like Drew McIntyre, Braun Strowman, the workers who haven't put a foot wrong perhaps would not like the fact that Roman is still in the scheme of things, and even despite his condition, he's still taking the spotlight in the storyline for WWE.
