#2 Build to a Murphy versus Rollins rivalry

WWE should keep Murphy and Seth Rollins together.

WWE teased the splitting up of Seth Rollins and Murphy at Elimination Chamber but ultimately decided not to pull the trigger. While doing so would have definitely been an OMG moment for fans and gave Murphy a measure of momentum heading into WrestleMania 36, it just seemed way too soon.

Keep in mind that the pair breaking up wasn't even teased up until this moment, and what would be the point of Rollins giving up on his disciple this easily? That's why WWE needs to let this slow boil for a few more weeks, work the crowd into it as best as possible and set up Murphy turning face and taking out Rollins after WrestleMania, leading to a feud between the former Tag Team Champions.

In the end, this gives WWE a few interesting weeks of television, allowing Kevin Owens to continuously foil Rollins's plans, leading up to his likely clash with Rollins on April 5th, all the while seeing Seth blame Murphy for not doing his job. This, in turn, gives fans a chance to start to sympathize with Murphy, making the eventual turn more effective. That's a lot to accomplish in less than a month, but the company could definitely do it with the right booking strategy.
