Hot Take: 5 Reasons Why Seth Rollins Is A Bad Universal Champion 

#2 Rushed To The Top

Now what?

The worst thing about anything in life is not having a plan when undertaking an important task, and it is truly baffling how a billion dollar company like WWE can't put together a plan of action when deciding to build a brand around a specific star.

In the case of Seth Rollins, this is truly evident, as we saw Rollins pursue the Universal Title for months, as he wanted to free the WWE Universe from the disastrous reign of Brock Lesnar. Rollins did so at Wrestlemania, but what comes after that?

That is a question WWE has not been able to answer ever since Rollins become the Universal Champion, as being Monday Night Rollins or the 'beast slayer' isn't enough to brand the Architect as the next coming of Shawn Michaels or Chris Jericho.

No plans, no direction and no real motivations have let Rollins fall into the trap so many other Universal Champions fell into in the past, and he is wandering without purpose.

#1 Right Champion, Wrong Time

The champion we deserve but not right now

Let us be honest here: WWE has the best roster in the history of their company; name another period in Vince McMahon's empire when we saw a variety of superstars achieving impossible feats athleticism on a weekly basis.

While it's nice to appreciate the roster WWE has assembled, the real problem with having this much talent at your disposal is that the creative minds behind them have no real idea what to do with these superstars.

In the case of Seth Rollins, he is the absolute right champion to lead Raw into the future but he clearly does not have the backing of the creative team. Narratives, character depth, and in-ring moments that will define his reign might never be seen in his run as champion due to WWE undergoing a terrible crisis at the moment, and in that crisis, Rollins will be left as the star to take the brunt of the blame.
