Rollins is the babyface fans want to see as the Universal Champion
In the Golden Era, the Intercontinental Championship would qualify a superstar for a shot at the world championship. Rollins has the crowd on his side and he's perhaps the hottest babyface on RAW at the moment. Unlike Reigns, fans would actually cheer him on if he faced off against Brock Lesnar.

Rolli probably doesn't size up with Brock Lesnar like Bobby Lashley seemingly does, but one can expect him to use his technique to dethrone the Beast Incarnate. Imagine the pop if Rollins were to actually defeat Brock Lesnar. The ovation would be deafening.
With this title change, WWE would have invested in a babyface they could actually rely upon to carry the company to brand new heights. The fans never accepted Roman Reigns, but they certainly do accept Seth Rollins as a credible contender.
