The biggest complaint most fans have about the main-event scene on Raw is how stale it has become. Since Goldberg won the belt back in February 2017, the whole main event division on Monday nights has been dominated by big men.

All of Lesnar's opponents have fallen into the 'monster' category, and Lesnar's unstoppable reign has made it difficult for the WWE to push any new stars into the spotlight.

As much as fans would love to see the likes of Finn Balor competing in the main event scene on Raw, it would be difficult for them to buy that Balor stands a chance against a man who defeated Braun Strowman in under 10 minutes.

Rollins is the company's best option to change that. Strowman is super-over right now, but it is difficult to imagine his reign being that much different from Lesnar's, while Reigns needs a change of character before anyone becomes remotely invested in him again.

Having Rollins win the belt would allow the WWE to put on some exciting matches in their main event, which is something we have not seen for some time.

Rollins last runs with the WWE belt was good, but his run this time would be much different, with The Architect now a full babyface with a well-developed character. Having him as Champion would be a breath of fresh air on Monday nights and would finally breathe some life back into their flagging main event scene.
