Top 5 Favourites To Become The Next Universal Champion

#1. Seth Rollins

The Kingslayer would be looking forward to slaying the beast.

While 2018 has been a slightly negative year for many WWE Superstars, Seth Rollins emerged back to the top of the RAW roster. Rollins started the year as a generic tag team wrestler who had minor niggles with his tag team partner. However, he ended the year by cutting a savage promo against Triple H and taunting Brock Lesnar.

The architect is currently the most favourite superstar to become the next Universal Champion with an astounding odds of 10/11. According to various rumours, Triple H is incessantly pushing for Seth Rollins to dethrone Lesnar at Wrestlemania 35 whereas Vince McMahon wants Strowman to end the beast's reign at Royal Rumble.

Rollins and Lesnar have already crossed their paths before - after Rollins cashed in on Lesnar at Wrestlemania 31. However, the dynamics have hugely shifted since then. At that time, Rollins was a scared heel. However, now the architect is one of the biggest babyfaces on the RAW roster.

If Rollins could finally get his hands on the Universal title, he would become only the third superstar to hold both Universal and WWE Championship, only behind Brock Lesnar and his Shield-mate Roman Reigns.
