Many will say that at WrestleMania 37, Seth Rollins and Cesaro tore the house down with a masterclass in pro wrestling wizardry. No, this wasn't contested in a steel cage, and neither did it have a title on the line. This was a contest designed to elevate Cesaro to the next level. Seth Rollins was the architect in this (pun very much intended) and he certainly delivered!

We know that this win means that Cesaro will ascend to the next level after WrestleMania 37. But where does the loser of the contest, Seth Rollins, go from here, one wonders?! Luckily for you, we at Sportskeeda have compiled a list of 5 feuds that Seth Rollins can partake in after WrestleMania 37.

Be sure to leave a comment in the space below with your picks! Your suggestions are most welcome.


#5 Finn Balor and Seth Rollins renew their feud after WrestleMania 37 on SmackDown

Finn Balor and Seth Rollins went to war when The Prince first came up to RAW and The Messiah was the top heel. Unfortunately, Balor would get injured and have to relinquish the title. This was five years ago, but we're certain that the NXT star still has a bone to pick with Rollins.

We could also see Balor bring back the demon avatar for a potential Messiah vs. Demon clash. This may not necessarily excite the purists, but remember that SmackDown is a sports entertainment show. How cool would it be if The Demon appeared on the SmackDown after WrestleMania 37?

Balor has done everything that he could during his time in NXT and a fresh new star may be the best way forward for him. A feud with Seth Rollins is exactly what the doctor ordered, where they can touch upon their history.

#4 Could Aleister Black return to action against Seth Rollins on WWE SmackDown?

'Aleister Black's career plummeted when the feud with Seth Rollins got underway," says Sportskeeda editor Amar Anand. There is certainly a degree of truth to this statement. Aleister Black used to be a big deal during his time on RAW, even defeating current WWE Champion Bobby Lashley at WrestleMania. Fast forward a year later, and he's not even on the card!

Maybe, Aleister Black, the devil comes to challenge the Messiah, Seth Rollins on the SmackDown after WrestleMania 37. Only this time, the devil in black is the babyface while the Messiah is the heel!

Stylistically, Aleister Black and Seth Rollins could have a very competitive match and a feud between the two could really elevate Black to the next level in a big way. And a religious overtone could exist over the proceedings, adding a distinct touch.

A feud with Aleister Black will also help Seth Rollins shake off some of the comedy from the recently concluded Cesaro feud.

#3 Seth Rollins could make quite the splash against Big E

Seth Rollins vs. Big E is a big-ticket feud whether or not the WWE Intercontinental Championship is on the line. Even if Big E comes up short in the Nigerian Drum fight scheduled to happen on Night Two of WrestleMania, a program with Seth Rollins is still something fans can enjoy.

Despite the fact that Big E has had entertaining feuds with Apollo Crews, Sami Zayn, and Sheamus since he's parted ways with The New Day, he's yet to have that clash that elevates him to the stratosphere. Enter Seth Rollins. This is a man who's been at the top of the mountain and defeating him will take Big E to the next level.

When you couple Big E's sheer power with Seth Rollins' inherent athleticism, the results are absolutely tremendous. The matches will not only be exciting, but they will also be entertaining because of how well-defined both men's characters are. Plus, it'll be impossible to pick a winner between these two men.

#2 Seth Rollins and Daniel Bryan could tell a very compelling story with or without the title

Seth Rollins and Cesaro stole the show on the first night of WrestleMania. Daniel Bryan can do the same with Roman Reigns and Edge on the second night. Then two possibilities could ensue on SmackDown. Each of them could be just as exciting, truth be told.

If Daniel Bryan does become the WWE Universal Champion, then a rematch with Roman Reigns should happen at some point down the line.

To have it immediately after may just lessen the impact of what should be a titanic contest. Seth Rollins could win a No. 1 contender match first and take Daniel Bryan to the limit.

But even if he does not possess the title, a feud with Seth Rollins is by no means an indication that your spot on the roster has been compromised by any stretch of the imagination. Both men are future WWE Hall of Fame inductees and more importantly, they are great storytellers who can take the fans along for the ride!

#1 Are we headed towards an undisputed clash between Seth Rollins and Adam Cole?

Have you checked out this Seth Rollins exclusive with Sportskeeda where he speaks about a heart-warming AJ Styles story? Yes, as prolific as his WWE career has been, Seth Rollins has had quite the career outside the promotion as well.

Another man who earned his stripes outside WWE before arriving at the world's biggest wrestling promotion is Adam Cole. Listen, Triple H went out of his way to suggest that Adam Cole wasn't moving to RAW or SmackDown, which means that he could very well move to one of the two brands after WrestleMania.

Adam Cole vs. Seth Rollins is a main-event caliber feud, whether it's on SmackDown or in NXT and it's one of the few clashes that does not require a title for it to feel relevant and grand. Seth Rollins could help break Cole into the roster in a grand way.
