#4 Wild Card Rollins
The Wild Card Rule - what can be said about this unfortunate piece of booking that has not been said by countless wrestling fans and critics? WWE has really hit rock bottom with their ideas over the last few years, but this sort of lazy strategizing has seen them break all their rules for a few weeks of higher than normal ratings.
While the company is in the pursuit of higher ratings, they don't realize the implications it can have on their biggest stars, as lack of screentime, lack of attractive booking for their champions and all round apathy from the company is slowly ruining their stars.
Last week on Raw we saw Rollins team with AJ Styles in a tag team match, and for those who didn't know, that throwaway match was stuck in the middle of the show after countless promos and arrival of Smackdown Live superstars took up the airtime. In that time WWE should have created another important pitstop for the Universal Title feud between Rollins and Styles at Money in the Bank.
The Wildcard Rule has not allowed any superstar any room to work, and with regards to Rollins, it has cut his time short to be a convincing champion, as he has to make way for even bigger stars. Now, how will that paint him as the Universal Champion?
#3 Weak To No Real Competition
Smackdown Live will get all the stars when they debut on FOX later in the year. That was WWE's master plan for the blue brand to make an impact on their brand's new home, and it's totally understandable, but where does that leave Raw?
You don't have to go far into the future to analyse this decision by the company, as we are already seeing the effects the blue brand's move has on Raw. The biggest stars in the company have made a move to WWE's new flagship show.
Besides AJ Styles, every other heel on the show is just not intriguing enough to create a compelling story around. This is not great news for Rollins, as it takes two to tango, which now will see Seth do the heavy lifting in potentially stale narratives against Drew McIntyre, Baron Corbin and even Bobby Lashley.
The Universal Title has suffered enough by being in involved in one show feuds like Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar, and now it seems like Rollins' reign isn't going to see him crafting classics.
