Seth Rollins lost his Intercontinental Championship to Dolph Ziggler earlier this week on Raw and even though he has activated his rematch clause and will fight to reclaim his title this coming week, it's highly unlikely that the former Champion will be successful.

WWE has built Rollins up into someone that could easily be the face of the company right now, which means that he doesn't actually need a title to be seen as a genuine threat. Right now the company has a Universal Champion that rarely defends his title and a face who is booed out of the building on a regular basis.

This means that Rollins could easily be seen as "The Guy" in WWE in the coming months and be pushed into feuds without a Championship. There are many superstars out there that could benefit from a feud with The Architect.


#5 Dean Ambrose

Dean Ambrose has been out with a tricep injury ever since December but reports have been positive over the past few weeks and it appears that he could finally be edging closer and closer to a return.

Much of the speculation surrounding The Lunatic Fringe's return to the company states that he could make his return as a heel in order to enter a feud with Seth Rollins and pick up where the duo left off.

Rollins and Ambrose dominated the wrestling world throughout 2014 as part of their first feud that ended at Hell in a Cell that year when Ambrose stepped into a feud with Bray Wyatt.

Interestingly, the feud hasn't been reversed to have Ambrose as a heel in the past four years, which is why so many fans are open to the idea of the two self-proclaimed "Wrestling Soulmates" to link up again.

#4 Mojo Rawley

Mojo Rawley was moved over to Raw after his feud with Zack Ryder came to an end and has since been used as a jobber on the flagship show, aside from the match he had with Rollins a few weeks ago.

Rawley answered one of Rollins open challenges for his title and as always it was Rollins who brought out the best in the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal winner.

Rawley needs some kind of boost right now since he is one of many wasted talents on the Raw roster, Rollins has reached the point where he can step into a feud with anyone and make them better, so Monday Night Rawley vs Monday Night Rollins could be the best way for WWE to get the best out of the former Hype Bros member in the coming months.

#3 Elias

Elias and Seth Rollins entered a feud over the Intercontinental Championship heading into Money in the Bank but it was Rollins who came out on top in Chicago after he held the tights and defeated "The Drifter."

There was no bounce back from this the night after, even though Rollins obviously cheated to retain his Championship. It's likely that Elias will be the one who interferes and costs Rollins the Championship this coming week on Raw so that both men can then enter a feud and then be added to the multi-man match to crown a new Number One Contender for the WWE Championship.

Drew McIntyre was ringside when Dolph Ziggler was able to defeat Rollins last week on Raw and tried to distract Rollins in order to help his friend lift the title. In the end, it was Ziggler who walked off with the title, but what is it that the Scottish star is gaining from this?

McIntyre could be the reason that Rollins is unable to reclaim his Championship next week, which could then lead to a feud between the two men since he will no longer have any sort of claim to the Intercontinental Championship.

McIntyre is a fantastic heel and would definitely benefit from a feud with Rollins, especially if it leads to both men being part of the multi-man match at Extreme Rules in a few weeks time.

#1 Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar is the current Universal Champion but he hasn't defended his title since April. Roman Reigns lost back to back matches to The Beast before he went on hiatus, and even though it's speculated that Reigns will be the one going after Lesnar again at SummerSlam, many of the WWE Universe predict that Rollins could be the surprise option.

Lesnar and Rollins collided one-on-one back in 2015 and there was no definitive winner because The Undertaker interfered, but it would be interesting to see if WWE want these two to go one-on-one once again in order to crown a new Universal Champion.

Of course, Braun Strowman is still lurking in the background with his Money in the Bank contract, but WWE may not decide to pull the trigger on a cash in as soon as SummerSlam.
