5 reasons to believe that Seth Rollins will defeat Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship

#3 Seth Rollins hasn’t been The Guy for three years

Seth Rollins has been one of the featured Superstars on WWE television ever since he made his debut as a member of The Shield in November 2012, with his most successful run coming when he was WWE champion in 2015.

During that time, the former Money In The Bank winner main-evented seven pay-per-views in a six-month spell between March 2015 and September 2015, which is in stark contrast to the six PPVs he has headlined in the 24 months since he returned from injury.

Those stats don’t tell the whole story, but they are a good guide to show how Rollins really was the guy in 2015 and how he hasn’t reached that main-event level over the last couple of years.

However, with fans supporting him now more than ever, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see WWE propel “The Kingslayer” back into the main-event spotlight in the near future. And to do that, he would surely need to hold Raw’s top title, the Universal Championship, which would mean defeating the mighty Brock Lesnar.
