"He's gonna be the man to beat Rollins" - WWE Universe elated for current RAW Superstar as he reaches incredible milestone

Many fans believe it is a foregone conclusion that the popular superstar is destined to capture the gold. However, some believe that The Visionary could end up dropping the title soon after winning it.

Seth Rollins could drop his newly-won World Heavyweight Championship to the red brand's latest import, Intercontinental Champion Gunther.

The Ring General is now going strong at 400 days, undefeated by pinfalls and submissions. He made his debut on WWE's flagship show this week after being drafted to the brand two weeks ago.

Gunther is likely to take center stage in the coming months, as displayed on WWE RAW this week.

The Ring General is seemingly involved in multiple storylines, including a budding rivalry against Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn, and some kind of mix-up between Imperium, The Judgment Day, and The Bloodline.

WWE values the Austrian star and views him as a top heel for the next 10 years, along with another up-and-coming superstar. Read more here.

Seth Rollins could lose to AJ Styles at WWE Night of Champions

Much like The Visionary, AJ Styles has not held a world title in years, and the current SmackDown star only made his return to the company a few weeks ago after a four-month hiatus due to injury. With both superstars carrying momentum on their side, it's hard to predict the outcome of their upcoming battle.

It seems, though, that The Phenomenal One could walk away with the new World Heavyweight Championship, as Seth Rollins was recently spotted on the set of Captain America: New World Order.

While the RAW Superstar's film commitments have been viewed by the company in a positive light, the former Universal Champion may not be available owing to schedule conflicts. Considering the company may want its new champion on TV regularly, perhaps they could go with the TNA Original to capture the Big Gold Belt.

Meanwhile, Gunther's slow and steady rise to main event status could come sooner rather than later, leading to a mouthwatering clash between The Ring General and either of the workhorse performers at an upcoming event.
