SmackDown Winner: Seth Rollins

Speaking of Seth Rollins, the move to SmackDown could be beneficial for him, as well. If he can get past his feud with Rey and Dominik Mysterio quickly, his old Shield stablemate, Roman Reigns, is at the top of the blue brand. This presents an interesting possibility heading into the big pay-per-view event at the start of the year.

WWE isn't usually good at producing feuds without clear heels and babyfaces. Still, Seth Rollins' new SmackDown Savior persona could create a big-time clash with the "Tribal Chief" Roman Reigns.

It has been a long time since these two have been involved in a program together. At the time, Seth Rollins was still working a chicken heel persona that wasn't that popular and Reigns was struggling as a bland babyface.

These two characters are completely different now. With some creative effort, they could have a complex rivalry on SmackDown in the months to come. Who will fans get behind in the end? We'll just have to see if it happens, but the possibility alone makes Rollins a winner in the 2020 WWE Draft.
