5 possible opponents for Seth Rollins at WWE Super ShowDown 2020

Seth Rollins is perhaps the most hated wrestler for the WWE Universe at the moment, having turned heel, started a new heel faction, and annoyed WWE's loyal fans.

A year ago, Rollins was the WWE Universe's favourite, having won the Royal Rumble match and was set to challenge Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania. A year on, Rollins is hated, booed, and despised by the very same fans.

The Architect, who calls himself the Monday Night Messiah, is one-half of the RAW Tag Team champions along with Buddy Murphy, and has lackeys in the form of AOP. This past week on RAW, Rollins lost the opportunity to face Brock Lesnar at Super ShowDown, which happens later this month in Saudi Arabia.

Rollins was in a triple threat match with Ricochet and Bobby Lashley, with the winner getting an opportunity to face the WWE Champion in Saudi Arabia. Ricochet won the match and now faces The Beast, but whom will Rollins face at Super ShowDown on February 27?

Let's take a look at 5 opponents for Seth Rollins at WWE Super ShowDown 2020.

#5 Bobby Lashley

Bobby Lashley was one of the three Superstars who was in the No.1 contenders match with Seth Rollins and Ricochet. Many fans wanted Lashley to win to set up a dream match with Lesnar, which has been in the making for years.

Perhaps WWE is saving that up for a bigger show than Super ShowDown. But Lashley could be involved in a pretty big match if he faces off against Rollins. It seems like Lashley has moved on from the Rusev-Lana love triangle, and now he's back to being a singles competitior.

A match with Rollins could also be a way for WWE to turn Lashley face again, as Rollins is widely hated by the WWE Universe.

We have seen the two face off before briefly, and Super ShowDown would be another opportunity for the two to put on a solid match.

#4 Tag team match

Seth Rollins and Buddy Murphy won the RAW tag team titles last month

Seth Rollins and Buddy Murphy are the current RAW Tag Team titles, and the Monday Night Messiah is in his sixth run as a tag team champion in WWE. The former Universal Champion and Murphy defeated The Viking Raiders on RAW last month, to win the tag team titles.

The duo have continued their feud with The Viking Raiders, with Murphy and AOP facing off against The Viking Raiders and Kevin Owens in this past week's RAW in a 6-person tag elimination match.

We could very well see Rollins and Murphy defend their titles at Super ShowDown against The Viking Raiders, or even in a fatal four-way tag team match, with Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows of The OC, and Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford of The Street Profits added to the mix.

That would be one match that would get the fans excited as most of the Superstars mentioned above are good in the ring, and can put up a great show.

#3 Samoa Joe

Samoa Joe is reportedly injured after having sustained an injury during his tag team match against Buddy Murphy and Seth Rollins on last week's RAW. Joe suffered a head injury and reportedly had a concussion.

If these reports are true, Joe will not be available for this month's Super ShowDown, which takes place on February 27, as it takes a long time to recover from a concussion.

But if he is fit and ready, he would be a fantastic opponent for Rollins at the Saudi Arabia show. Joe and Rollins have a history, having feud a lot way back in 2017. But that was when Rollins was a babyface and Joe was a heel, and now that the dynamic has changed, it will be interesting how WWE tells this story.

Both Superstars are phenomenal in the ring and they could put on a great show for the Saudi audience. There's a possibility of Joe also teaming up with Kevin Owens to face Seth Rollins and Buddy Murphy in a tag team match for the RAW Tag Team titles.

#2 Drew McIntyre

Drew McIntyre is on a high after winning the 2020 men's Royal Rumble match, and booking his ticket to WrestleMania 36. The Scottish Psychopath will face Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship at the Show of Shows.

McIntyre currently does not have a match at Super ShowDown, and it's most likely going to be him having a faceoff with Lesnar after The Beast's match against Ricochet at the Saudi Arabia PPV.

But WWE could get more fans onboard the McIntyre hype by booking a match between him and Seth Rollins. Getting a win over a top Superstar like Rollins would give great momentum to McIntyre on the Road to WrestleMania.

Facing Rollins would also mean that the likes of AOP and Buddy Murphy would try every which way to help the Monday Night Messiah defeat McIntyre. And overcoming Rollins and his henchmen would only add to McIntyre's push ahead of WrestleMania.

It's quite clear that the fans would be completely behind McIntyre not only because he's the flavour of the month, but also because the heat that Rollins has.

#1 Kevin Owens

One of the most likely matches for Seth Rollins at Super ShowDown later this month is against Kevin Owens. Owens and Samoa Joe have been in a feud with Rollins, Buddy Murphy, and AOP, with The Viking Raiders added to the mix recently.

The former Universal Champion, who is a babyface at the moment, has got huge pops from the crowd lately in his feud with Rollins and company.

The feud between Rollins and Owens could continue for the next few months, with it possibly culminating at WrestleMania in April. We could see a preview of that at Super ShowDown, where Owens will have to not only fight Rollins, but keep AOP and Murphy at bay as well.

As mentioned earlier in this piece, there is a possibility of Owens being involved in a tag team match if Samoa Joe is fit, to face the tag team champions. Or even a 3-on-4 handicap match, where the team of Rollins, Murphy, and AOP, face off against Owens and The Viking Raiders.
