#5 Seth Rollins needs a big win after his Crown Jewel loss

On paper, Seth Rollins may be the second-biggest star in the WWE roster at the moment, after Roman Reigns. But he doesn't feel like the same level of superstar that he was once upon a time. His many feuds outside of the title picture have severely diminished and impaired him, and Rollins losing the feud to Edge was the final nail in the coffin.

It may be time to rebuild Seth Rollins again, back into the same force of nature that he once used to be. By defeating Big E in singles competition, even if he twists and bends the rules a little bit, he can elevate himself to the level that he once was. Also, Big E now becomes the sympathetic babyface, who was cheated out of his title!

The age-old saying in sports entertainment is that the money is always in the chase, and one has to assume that fans would love to see Seth Rollins, the evil heel lose his title in due course of time. But for that to happen, the title has to come to him first. What do you think of this scenario?

#4 Seth Rollins is a proven draw

To put it bluntly, Seth Rollins as WWE Champion has the potential to attract lapsed viewers who may not exactly be on board with Big E. As a member of The Shield, he was a contemporary of Roman Reigns, who's been procuring solid viewership numbers for the SmackDown brand.

The viewership numbers for RAW are significantly lower than that of the blue brand. Putting a proven commodity like Seth Rollins front and center may be just what the brand needs.

#3 Allows Big E the chance to win the Royal Rumble and dethrone Roman Reigns

Seth Rollins winning does not mean that Big E gets left out to dry. Many have touted him as the person to defeat Roman Reigns. This could happen if he goes on to win the Royal Rumble and go into the main event of WrestleMania. A loss to Seth Rollins could, then, be a stepping stone to something bigger. The rub from defeating Roman Reigns would make him a much bigger star than he is right now.

#2 Seth Rollins could work with a multitude of babyfaces and elevate them

If Seth Rollins becomes the next WWE Champion, he could work with the likes of Finn Balor, Kevin Owens, and promising stars such as Gable Steveson to elevate them all. Yes, even veterans like Balor and Owens need elevating because of how they've been booked in the recent past.

When it comes to the heels that Big E could potentially work with, both Bobby and, let's say,'s say AJ Styles, don't need the rub. Seth Rollins winning is just the smarter decision for the entire roster.

#1 Big E's character as a singles star is not defined yet

Seth Rollins' character may not be everyone's cup of tea. That said, with the flashy suits and the annoying laughter, at least it is properly defined unlike Big E's.

Big E still carries elements from his New Day run with the hip swiveling. There's something about his gimmick that just feels like it's not been completely thought-through just about yet. Maybe it'll happen with time.
