Seth Rollins is losing his title before Saturday Night's Main Event, believes ex-WWE employee (Exclusive)

WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins had a mixed time in Australia. He finally vanquished one of his biggest rivals as he defeated Cody Rhodes for the first time in 23 matches to win the Men's Crown Jewel Championship. However, the euphoria didn't last that long, as the following night on RAW, he was betrayed by his own faction members.

The Brons turned on Seth in the final moments of Monday Night RAW, following which Bron Breakker picked up the World Heavyweight Championship, hinting at his intentions of pursuing the gold. Ex-WWE employee Vince Russo recently made an interesting claim regarding the future of the championship.

On the latest episode of Sportskeeda WrestleBinge's Legion of RAW, Russo said that Bron should be the one to dethrone Seth Rollins, rather than CM Punk, who is the current number one contender. He said that Punk should then challenge Breakker, given they haven't faced each other in singles action yet.

"I think what's going to happen is because, bro, seriously, they're going to go to the well again with Punk and Rollins. You guys are going to go there again. I would assume, bro, I would assume one of these two guys, probably Breakker, I mean, I would always assume it's Breakker [who] is going to take [the belt]. If it were me, I'd have Breakker take the belt off of Seth and then Breakker and CM Punk, because at least that's something new. But my god, they can't go back to that CM Punk-Seth Rollins well," Russo said.

The main event of Monday Night RAW saw CM Punk, LA Knight, and Jey Uso fight it out to become the number one contender for Rollins' title. Punk won the match after pinning Jey Uso, but his celebration was cut short as The Vision came out to attack all three participants before turning on Seth Rollins as well.
