5 Possible finishes to Seth Rollins vs. Rey Mysterio

On the season premiere of Monday Night RAW, Seth Rollins will put his Universal Championship on the line against the legendary Rey Mysterio. The greatest masked Superstar of all time earned this opportunity by winning a five-man elimination match last Monday.

Seth Rollins himself stated that this would be a dream match for him but was still adamant he’d be victorious come the end of the night. Rollins has grown up watching The Master Of The 619 overcome the odds in WWE, now he gets a chance to experience the greatness himself.

This is an incredibly intriguing match up not only due to the fact we’ve never seen it before but because of the calibre of the two Superstars. With a draft on the horizon and a move to Fox in the works for SmackDown, this is a very interesting time to be a WWE fan, and this match could go a number of different ways.

Here are 5 possible finishes to Seth Rollins vs. Rey Mysterio.

---

#5 Interference from Andrade

Is Andrade is the next big Latino superstar?

Having beaten the Lucha Libre legend on several occasions, Andrade’s stocks have never been higher. Andrade has been put over by Rey Mysterio in numerous matches, and it wasn’t as if those matches were clouded with controversy. The former World Champion put him over cleanly. In fact, Mysterio put him over so much that he almost considered retiring from wrestling for good, until his son stepped in.

Regardless, Andrade has been put on a pedestal and must do everything he can to capitalise on that momentum.

As a young up starter, it’s always smart to build your name off the hype of an established legend. It’s quite possible that Andrade has not finished riding the wave of the Lucha Libre, leading him to interfere with this match on Monday.

Accompanied by Zelina Vega, Andrade could run down to the ring as Rey is about to hit the 619, distract him, thus allowing Rollins to hit the dreaded stomp.

#4 Braun Strowman wants retribution

When will Braun Strowman become Universal Champion?

The Monster Among Men has always been an angry character, but none so more than right now. Not only did he lose cleanly to Seth Rollins at Clash of Champions, but he was snuffed into unconsciousness by The Fiend last week on Raw.

Strowman doesn’t react to such things lightly and you can guarantee payback is coming. But as we’ve seen in the past, Strowman doesn’t always directly get revenge the person who wronged him. He can take it out on anybody. That’s why I see a running power slam in Seth Rollins’ near future.

It’s unclear as to when Braun Strowman will eventually win the Universal Championship, but him being constantly in and around the main event scene has led people to think it can only be coming soon. A running interference in Monday Night’s main event would help keep Strowman’s stocks high in the title picture.

#3 Rey Mysterio roll-up

Rey Mysterio is a 3-time world champion

Perhaps the most unlikely of scenarios, but let’s not gloss over the fact that Rey Mysterio is a former world champion and a consistent main eventer. In the past, many have doubted him to their own downfall.

Of course, a quick roll-up or clean 619 would change the entire complexion of Hell in a Cell, but WWE has regularly been known to spring surprises on its audience.

With a massive move to Fox on the horizon, nobody’s place in the WWE is certain, meaning we don’t know where each championship or champion will be.

As one of the most respected babyfaces in history, a Mysterio win would go down well with the WWE Universe better than it would with someone else taking the title off Rollins. And the scenario makes sense, as Rollins has had his mind preoccupied with The Fiend for weeks, leading him to be off his game and distracted throughout Monday Night. A distracted Rollins would be susceptible to a 619 at any given moment.

#2 Seth Rollins wins clean

Seth Rollins is the undisputed number one babyface in the WWE today

Truth be told, Seth Rollins is on a winning streak at the moment. Ever since the outcry from the fans for him to get his comeuppance over Brock Lesnar, The Architect has been unstoppable.

In the year of 2019 alone, the Universal Champion has beaten Brock Lesnar twice, won the Royal Rumble and pinned Braun Strowman. It’s gone under the radar, but Rollins’ 2019 could be considered as one of the greatest in sports entertainment history. A win over the legend Rey Mysterio would only further that claim.

Regardless of the outcome, we all know we’re guaranteed a five-star match between Mysterio and Rollins.

The two are incredibly athletic, agile and possess a wealth of in-ring storytelling expertise. In a day and age where first-time matchups between main event Superstars are rare, the WWE Universe is in for a real treat come Monday night.

#1 The Fiend’s next victim

Who will The Fiend's next victim be?

The Fiend, Bray Wyatt, has been on a rampage in recent weeks, claiming several high-profile names as his victims. In fact, names like Mick Foley, Kane, Braun Strowman and Jerry Lawler have all fallen victim, with Bray now solely focusing on Seth Rollins.

There hasn’t been a more exciting reincarnation of a character in recent times than Bray Wyatt’s transformation into The Fiend. The 32-year-old has gone from a man who couldn’t get any TV time to the most-feared character in WWE. He’s hell-bent on winning the Universal Championship, whilst also wreaking havoc across the main event scene.

It’s almost certain that Monday night’s main event will end with The Fiend suffocating the life out of Rey Mysterio. The heel effect of this would be exemplified by the fact that the well-liked Mysterio had just endured a gruelling match with Rollins.
